Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), of which ESO is a partner, astronomers have discovered a large reservoir of hot gas in the still-forming galaxy cluster around the Spiderweb galaxy — the most distant detection of such hot gas yet. Galaxy clusters are some of the largest objects known in the Universe and this [...]
The RadioNet newsletter 03/2023 has just been issued.
The call for the IAC Early-career visitor program is open. It has two basic and interconnected goals: to promote both individual scientific development during first years of postdoctoral experience and to enhance the role of the IAC as a reference center at an international level. The IAC offers an ideal research and work environment, with [...]

Scientists studying a nearby protostar have detected the presence of water in its circumstellar disk. The new observations made with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) mark the first detection of water being inherited into a protoplanetary disk without significant changes to its composition. These results further suggest that the water in our Solar System [...]
Using the MeerKAT radio telescope to study a distant galaxy towards PKS 1830-211, scientists discovered something unexpected: gas clouds made up of some of the largest hydrogen atoms in the universe, Rydberg atoms. It is the first time scientists observed these hydrogen atoms in a distant galaxy. Read the SARAO media release here. Image: © [...]
