Garik Israelian studies the spectral signatures of stars and other bodies as an astrophysicist at the Gran Telescopio Canarias home of the world's largest optical-infrared telescope mirror part of the Institute of Astrophysics on the Canary Islands.

He has published more than 150 articles on topics such as extra-solar planets and black hole binary systems and his observational work -- poring over the spectral data that points to the composition of distant stars -- has led to the discovery of a lithium signature that suggests Sun-sized stars gobble up their planets.In 1999 Israelian led a collaboration that found the first observational evidence that supernova explosions are responsible for the formation of black holes.
