A team of cosmologists from the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) and the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands (IAC) has obtained the most accurate census to date of the dark matter halos of the Universe. The work is based on the development of a new model, called GPS+, capable of predicting how many dark matter halos exist at each stage of cosmic history. In the universe, there are enormous invisible structures surrounding galaxies and galaxy clusters. These are dark matter halos, concentrations of matter that do not emit light and cannot be directly observed, but
El Departamento de Astrofísica de la Universidad de La Laguna celebra el vigésimo aniversario de su Máster en Astrofísica, una de las ofertas de posgrado más reconocidas de España en el ámbito de la Astrofísica y pionera en la implantación de los estudios oficiales de máster en la Universidad de La Laguna. Con motivo de este aniversario, el Aula Magna Blas Cabrera Felipe de la Facultad de Ciencias acogió un acto conmemorativo en el que se repasó la trayectoria de este programa, que durante las dos últimas décadas se ha convertido en un referente nacional e internacional en la formación de
An international team composed of Drs. Sylvain G. Korzennik, from the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian , and Antonio Eff-Darwich Peña, from the University of La Laguna and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, has published a pioneering study aimed at improving our understanding of the Sun’s internal structure. The work, published in The Astrophysical Journal , stands out for its use of exceptionally long helioseismic time series, exceeding twenty-five years of continuous observations, to analyze the deepest layers of the Sun. Helioseismology is the study of patterns of
