SO IAA course: Dynamo Theory in Astrophysics

Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the Universe, including the geomagnetic field, the systematic magnetic field responsible for the eleven year solar activity cycle, and the magnetic fields of planets, stars, galaxies and accretion disks. It is now generally accepted that these fields are created by the action of hydromagnetic dynamos; i.e. by the motions of conductive fluids or plasmas that sustain the field against the action of Ohmic dissipation. For all these objects there is no ab initio predictive theory for the origin of their magnetic fields.

El SKAO, un balcón al Universo con el corazón en la Tierra

El Observatorio del SKA está construyendo dos radiotelescopios sin precedentes, por su sensibilidad y complejidad, en regiones remotas de Sudáfrica y Australia. Su alcance va más allá de lo puramente científico.

Contar la contaminación lumínica de costa a costa

Coincidiendo con el Día Mundial del Medio Ambiente, que se celebra cada 5 de junio desde 1972, el Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), a través del Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC), impulsa una acción de divulgación científica centrada en la contaminación lumínica y sus efectos sobre el medio ambiente y la sociedad.

Asymmetrical Post-main-sequence Nebulae 9

A meeting devoted to the shaping effects of stellar outflows from evolved stars in the formation of asymmetrical post-main-sequence nebulae including planetary nebulae, nebulae around massive stars, nova remnants, symbiotic stars, ... 1.- Puzzling evolved star nebulae that challenge our present knowledge: morphology, kinematics, chemistry, time-scales, exotic central stars, ...

SO Basics of Neural Networks 2025

Deep learning (DL) is a family of techniques widely used in multiple fields with excellent results. Unfortunately, DL has a steep learning curve. Fortunately, several domain-specific libraries have been developed to facilitate the use of DL models. For the widespread adoption of these techniques, researchers should be able to design and use their own DL models. Image classification is one of the main applications of DL in astrophysics and offers a convenient way to learn about neural networks.

International Summer School on Advanced Black Hole Physics 'Tales of Black Holes'

Black holes are among the most fascinating objects in the universe. From cosmological scales, galactic and stellar scales where black holes are integral pieces in the formation and evolution of different structures, to microscopic scales in which the study of the fabric of spacetime and black hole interiors are interrelated, black holes are ubiquitous in all research areas in which gravity is a prominent actor.

Puentes de Ciencia: La investigación como herramienta de unión cultural

«Puentes de Ciencia» es un programa de divulgación científica inclusiva que busca acercar la investigación realizada en los centros del CSIC en Granada y el Instituto DaSCI de la Universidad de Granada a colectivos en riesgo de exclusión social. Nacido como un programa piloto en 2024 bajo el lema «Jornadas de cultura científica sin fronteras», este proyecto ha demostrado el poder de la ciencia como lenguaje universal para conectar culturas y promover la integración.

Academic Spanish Course for Foreigners (2025)

The Academic Spanish course for foreigners is designed to facilitate effective communication in academic and profesional contexts. Through a practical and personalized focus, the participants will develop essential linguistic abilities to discuss scientific articles, participate in conferences, give presentations, and collaborate in international projects. The program includes technical vocabulary, beginner and advanced grammar, and simulations of real-life situations.
