Keerthana Jegatheesan Since its discovery in July 2025, the interstellar object named 3I/ATLAS has sparked excitement among the cometary research groups across the world. Here, at the IEA, our astronomers have begun tracking the interstellar object with the OMA500 telescope — a 50cm optical telescope located at the El Sauce Observatory in Chile’s Rio Hurtado …
We are happy to announce that our researchers at the IEA have been awarded observing time as PIs for ALMA Cycle 12.
The IEA is excited to announce the call for applications for its PhD program in Astrophysics for the academic year 2026.
Manuel Aravena, academic and researcher at the Institute of Astrophysical Studies (IEA), within the Faculty of Engineering and Sciences at Universidad Diego Portales (UDP), and member of the Centro de Astrofísica y Tecnologías Afines (CATA) and the Millennium Nucleus of Galaxies (MINGAL), is one of the protagonists and principal investigators of the large-scale ALMA project, …
Have you ever found yourself wondering how galaxies — those cosmic whirlpools of stars, gas, and dust — form and grow over time? Then you’re in the right place, and your curiosity is well-founded. Galaxies come in a variety of shapes, with their own personalities, just as humans do, and astronomers have caught different processes …
El estudio, liderado por el proyecto ODISEA (Ophiuchus DIsk Survey Employing ALMA) del Instituto de Estudios Astrofísicos de la Universidad Diego Portales, demuestra que estructuras observadas en discos protoplanetarios son causadas por planetas en formación. Tras diez años de trabajo colaborativo y multidisciplinario, astrónomos del Instituto de Estudios Astrofísicos (IEA) de la Universidad Diego Portales …
The Instituto de Estudios Astrofísicos (IEA) at Universidad Diego Portales (UDP) invites applications for a postdoctoral research fellowship to study the assembly of galaxies at cosmic noon (z~1-3). The postdoctoral fellow will use state-of-the-art high-resolution CO and dust continuum data from the ALMA CONDOR large program (LP) to conduct detailed studies of disk galaxy structure, …
