Our PI, Rafael Guzmán ( @ifca.es ), presented the #ARRAKIHSmission at the Spanish Space Agency (AEE) .

We thank Juan Carlos Cortés (AEE), and Isabel Pérez Grande (AEE) , for their support and for fostering collaboration within Spain’s growing space ecosystem.

When small galaxies meet big ones 💫

The #AGORA project explores how dwarf satellite galaxies stop forming stars , a process called “quenching”. What #ARRAKIHS will help us uncover.

Last Friday, some of our @ifca.es researchers took part in the #ERN2025 in Santander.

They were with the little ones, doing #ARRAKIHS puzzles as part of the science challenge 🧩

Thank you for your collaboration! 🙌🏼

A map of the sky!
🟢 Green = higher sensitivity
🔵 Blue = harder to see faint details
🔴 Red dots = sample galaxies (not the final list, but an example of the #ARRAKIHS selection process).

ARRAKIHS prepares for orbit! 🛰️

A technical training campaign at Javalambre Observatory ( #CEFCA ) tested the iSIM-170 camera, a key instrument for the mission to study dark matter from space.

How faint can we go? With #ARRAKIHS + VIS2, we can detect #galaxy features as dim as 31 mag/arcsec² 🌌

Using mock images, we subtracted stars, cleaned backgrounds, and applied astnoisechisel to extract even the faintest signals.

We joined the #iconicobjects trend with the iSIM-170 camera, developed by #Satlantis and key to the #ARRAKIHS mission. It’s designed to reveal the faintest light in the universe using a unique binocular #telescope.
📦 Would you collect it? 👀
