Descubren galaxia de disco más lejana parecida a la Vía Láctea 

Sorprendió a los investigadores por su forma ordenada, pese a estar en una etapa temprana de la formación del universo. En el equipo está el Investigador Asociado del CATA Manuel Aravena. La galaxia de disco denominada REBELS-25 pudo ser observada tal como era hace 700 millones de años, un 5% de la edad actual del …

Students get closer to the stars thanks to a workshop held by CATA

With the aid of a talk and practical activities given by astronomers from the Center for Astrophysics and Related Technologies (CATA), students from the Liceo Cervantes were able to learn about the origin and evolution of galaxies. How can the distance to stars be measured? This was one of several questions that, in a practical …

A Column by Manuel Aravena – The Future of Astronomy: The Invisible Universe in Infrared Waves

Manuel Aravena – Emol May 9, 2024 Although we have built much of our astronomical knowledge through observations of “visible” light (that which we see with our eyes), this corresponds to only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Most of the radiation coming from the Universe cannot be seen with optical telescopes like Galileo’s, …

Por primera vez un proyecto liderado desde Chile obtiene horas de observación “a gran escala” en ALMA

La iniciativa denominada “CRISTAL” contará con cerca de 150 horas, buscando revelar cómo son algunas de las galaxias más distantes y tempranas conocidas y cómo éstas evolucionaron en las que se ven en el universo local. El observatorio ALMA otorgó cerca de 150 horas de observación al proyecto CRISTAL, la primera iniciativa liderada desde Chile …

UDP astronomers obtain the deepest ALMA observations in the Hubble UDF

An international group of astronomers has used the ALMA observatory to obtain an inventory of molecular gas and dust in distant galaxies at unprecedented depth in the iconic Hubble Ultra-Deep Field (H-UDF), one of the best-studied regions of the sky. The final results are being presented in a series of papers in today’s Astrophysical Journal. …
