JWST uncovers a rich diversity of carbon-bearing gases serving as ingredients for planets around very low-mass stars
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, a team of astronomers, including CAB (Centro de Astrobiología INTA-CSIC) scientists, studied the properties of a planet-forming disk around a young and very low-mass star. The results reveal the richest hydrocarbon composition seen to date in a protoplanetary disk, including the first extrasolar detection of ethane and a relatively […]

The dusty nature of little red dots, the enigmatic galaxies discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope
A team of astronomers led by the Center for Astrobiology (CAB), CSIC-INTA (Spain), have just published new discoveries about the most enigmatic galaxies discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope, the so-called Little Red Dots. With new data taken with an instrument that they helped to build, MIRI, the CAB-led team have discovered that little […]
Ammonia trail leads to exoplanets
En un reciente estudio, liderado por el Centro de Astrobiología (CAB), CSIC-INTA, un equipo de investigadores de diversos institutos europeos y norteamericanos ha logrado medir el amoníaco en la atmósfera de una estrella enana marrón fría. La abundancia isotópica del amoníaco puede utilizarse para estudiar cómo se forman los planetas gaseosos gigantes. Las relaciones entre […]
Identifican con el JWST la galaxia similar a la Vía Láctea más lejana jamás observada
An international scientific team, led by the Centro de Astrobiología (CAB), CSIC-INTA, has discovered the most distant barred spiral galaxy known to date. The discovery, made using data from the James Webb Space Telescope, has been published in the journal Nature.
