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.

Gas density of the same subhalo across the different models during their infall to the host halo. Each column represents a different model, while each row indicates the same infall stage: (a) first snapshot at a distance to the host lower than , (b) at , (c) during the first apocenter, and (d) during the second infall, slightly before the second pericenter. From the time evolution we can distinguish how gas is stripped during infall and how virial radius is decreasing due to tidal stripping. Efficiency of stripping mechanisms is highly sensitive to the model.

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! 🙌🏼

🟢 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.

Great week at #SATLANTIS for the #ARRAKIHS Instrument Intermediate Design and Analyses Review (IIDAR) workshop 🛰️
Key step ahead of PDR, with progress, collaboration & good conversations in Leioa.
Thanks to all involved!🤗

💫 First observations with the Ground Demonstrator (OGD) at the Javalambre Astrophysical Observatory! 💫

1️⃣ M101, Pinwheel Galaxy
2️⃣ M42, Orion Nebula
3️⃣ M81, Bode’s Galaxy

M101, Pinwheel Galaxy Larger than our Milky Way and bursting with star-forming regions—like cosmic fireworks in deep space. M42, Orion Nebula A stellar nursery just 1,344 light-years away, where hundreds of new stars are being born right now. M81, Bode’s Galaxy A beautiful spiral glowing with the energy of a supermassive black hole—70 million times the mass of our Sun.

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? 👀
