An international group of astronomers, led by Lorena Hernández-García and with the participation of Diego Portales University astronomer Claudio Ricci, have discovered for the first time the signal of a pair of gigantic black holes perturbing a cloud of gas at the center of a galaxy, using observations from NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. “It’s …
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 …

New finding with the expansive Dark Energy Camera, led by UDP PhD Trystan Lambert, offers a clear explanation to quasar ‘urban density’-conundrum. 23 September 2024 Observations using the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) confirm astronomers’ expectation that early-Universe quasars formed in regions of space densely populated with companion galaxies. DECam’s exceptionally wide field of view and …
“Millennium Nucleus on Young Exoplanets and their Moons (YEMS)” is the title of the project led by both specialists from the UDP Institute of Astrophysical Studies. The research project “Millennium Nucleus on Young Exoplanets and their Moons” (YEMS for its acronym in English) has successfully renewed its funding until the end of 2027; it is …
“Millennium Nucleus for Galaxies (MINGAL)” is the title of the initiative in which the academic and researcher of the Institute of Astrophysical Studies UDP will work. The academic and researcher of the Institute of Astrophysical Studies (IEA) of the Faculty of Engineering and Sciences at Diego Portales University, Manuel Aravena, will participate as a principal …

This world is 972 light years away and was found using NASA’s TESS space satellite. A team of researchers within CATA participated in the investigation. A group of researchers discovered an exoplanet with the characteristics of an ultra-hot Neptune that provides new information about the characteristics of these types of worlds. James Jenkins, Principal Investigator …
In late 2019 the previously unremarkable galaxy SDSS1335+0728 suddenly started shining brighter than ever before. To understand why, astronomers have used data from several space and ground-based observatories, including the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT), to track how the galaxy’s brightness has varied. In a study out today, they conclude that they …
The renowned Italian astrophysicist will appear this coming Friday the 7th of June at 6 pm, in the Auditorium of the Faculty of Social Sciences and History at UDP (Av. Ejército Libertador 333). “Proteger el cielo es nuestro deber… ¿Pero, qué tengo que ver yo con el Big-bang” (Protecting the sky is our duty… But …
10/05/24 “The sun goes through activity cycles that last 11 years, cycles we can predict, and so we know that the sun behaves in a way of low, high solar activity and then low solar activity again. In this cycle that began in 2019, we are reaching a peak of solar activity that began in …
