Abstract

An overview of UNAM's Instituto de Astronomía teaching and research resources is presented. Undergraduate studies in Physics at Facultad de Ciencias are followed by Graduate Studies in Astrophysics supported by three institutes with astronomical researchers. Extragalactic and cosmology groups both in Mexico City and Ensenada are presented, followed by some recent research highlights and ongoing projects. Finally, the major observing facilities at the National Astronomical Observatory in Baja California, Large Millimeter Telescope Alfonso Serrano (LMT) and High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatories in Puebla, together with international facilities as Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), are observing resources for extragalactic and galactic studies.
