CEFCA astrophysicists link internationally significant projects, such as Gaia, a census of 2 billion stars in the Milky Way, and the Vera Rubin telescope in the Chilean desert, with research based on data from the Javalambre Astrophysical Observatory. Their latest advances are being presented at the European Astronomical Society forum, which is being held until Friday in Cork (Ireland) and brings together 1,500 researchers from 60 countries.

A technique based on radio telescopes (VLBI) has enabled the discovery of a physical physical connection between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. host them. The size relationship would be the same as if a grain of sand were to condition an entire planet. would condition an entire planet. The paper published in Nature Astronomy is led by David Fernández Gil, a researcher at the Centro de Estudios de Física de of the Cosmos of Aragon (CEFCA).

The Point Spread Function (PSF) quantifies the distribution of light scattered by the combined effects of the atmosphere, telescope, and instrument. Most research to date has focused on the central few arcseconds of the PSF. However, extending this analysis to several arcminutes would enable the removal of scattered light produced by dominant stars, which often obscure astrophysical sources. This issue was highlighted by a team of CEFCA researchers at the latest meeting of the Spanish Astronomical Society. The extent to which light can be scattered from an astronomical source is illustrated by the "blue sky" effect. In optical observations, the PSF provides a quantitative measure of this scattering. While most surveys consider only the core region of the PSF (a few arcseconds), this narrow focus limits the ability to remove scattered light from bright sources. Such light dominates the image and interferes with the observation of fainter astrophysical features.
