How do we prepare a space mission before it observes the Universe? 🤔 With simulations. ARTEMIS simulations + machine learning help predict the properties of faint galaxy halos, preparing us for future ARRAKIHS observations 🌌 🔗 Read it here: www.arrakihs-mission.eu/2026/01/13/e...

Visualisation of one galaxy, but simulated many times assuming different parameters that control the detailed way in which massive stars explode at the end of their lives.

✨How many galaxies should #ARRAKIHS observe? Simulations suggest ~80–84 gives a strong chance of capturing the diverse range of stellar halos needed for significant science, a smart balance of ambition and feasibility 🚀🌌 🔗 arrakihs-mission.eu/2025/12/19/h...

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. 📌 Ramón Rodríguez Cardoso (@ucm.es, GMV) 🔗 goo.su/R0s4d

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.

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. Credit: Helena Domínguez Sánchez

💫 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 #astrophysics #groundobservations #ARRAKIHS #OGD @cefca-oaj.bsky.social #Satlantis @ifca.es #space #mission

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.
