What Stops Star Formation in Isolated Dwarf Galaxies in the Most Underdense Cosmic Regions? The shallow potential wells of low-mass galaxies, commonly known as dwarf galaxies, make them highly susceptible to environmental effects, often leading to the complete cessation of star formation. But is quenching solely driven by external forces in harsh environments, or can dwarf galaxies also self-quench through mechanisms like strong stellar winds or supernova feedback, independent of external influences? In this contribution, I present our... Dr. Bahar Bidaran |

Study of the very high energy emission from star-forming regions and young massive star clusters Cosmic rays (CRs) are a fundamental component of the Cosmos. They can penetrate and ionise the dense gas core of molecular clouds, affecting the dynamics of the cloud itself and triggering chemical reactions that lead to the creation of complex molecular compounds. In star-forming complexes, CRs can be accelerated by the wind of newly born massive stars, often found in young massive stellar clusters (YMSC). The amount of freshly injected CRs can...

The art of astrophysical measurements: An elementary lecture on photon counting and S/N Have you ever dared to understand how many photons are detected by your camera when you are pointing the telescope to the sky? Is the action of the spectrograph fully understood when analyzing those photons? Do typical image formation rules hold when studying the polarization of light? All these are a few examples of questions addressed by researchers when designing instruments, which are later constrained by technological capabilities. This... Dr. José Carlos del Toro Iniesta |

LP791-18d as a case study for outgassing rocky exoplanets Over the past three decades, the discovery of over five thousand exoplanets has opened avenues for atmospheric characterization, now feasible for a select subset through spectroscopic observations paired with Bayesian inference techniques. These exoplanetary atmospheres serve as crucial windows into planetary formation and evolutionary histories. Achieving accurate interpretations demands a comprehensive approach, advancing theory and modeling... Dr. Leonardos Gkouvelis |

The Earthbound Fate of Meteor Phenomena Understanding meteor phenomena is essential for promptly and effectively recovering meteorites, predicting meteor showers, studying atmospheric properties, and assessing the threat posed by space objects to both in-orbit and ground-based infrastructure. By observing and interpreting meteor phenomena, we can predict impact consequences and efficiently locate and identify surviving meteorite fragments on the ground. Through dimensional analysis,...

Ciencia abierta y la crisis de la reproducibilidad La ciencia es una fantástica y gigantesca empresa humana en la que se estima que están implicadas mas de nueve millones de personas y en la que actualmente se invierte en el mundo más de un billón y medio de euros anualmente. El método científico es el instrumento que ha caracterizado a la ciencia para alcanzar su objetivo de conocer y comprender el mundo natural que nos rodea. Emilio Sánchez-Cantalejo |

Unraveling the Gamma-ray emission in radiogalaxies and their jets Radio-galaxies are a minority among all extragalactic sources detected in gamma-rays, yet they have excellent potential to study particle acceleration and non-thermal emission in AGN jets. In contrast with blazars, which have jets aligned with the line-of-sight, radio-galaxies have a smaller Doppler boosting factors. The implications are important: First, the distance at which they are detectable in gamma-rays is smaller. Second, the thermal... Mireia Nievas Rosillo |

Coloquio SO: Spectroscopy's Role in Stellar Astrophysics To characterize a star, the stellar fundamental parameters such as mass, radius, metal abundance, and effective temperature should be known. Direct measurements of these parameters, especially for single stars, are quite challenging, and indirect methods are often employed to obtain these characteristics. The most effective method for determining these parameters is spectroscopy, which is an analysis technique of spectra. It allows us to... Dr. Filiz Kahraman Aliçavuş |

Laboratory Research on the Atmospheric Impact of Spacecraft Re-entry Debris: Perspectives and Future Challenges The rapid growth of space debris, especially in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), poses a rising risk to both space operations and Earth's atmosphere. Debris fragments, even minuscule in size, can cause significant damage due to their high orbital speeds. To mitigate risks, controlled re-entry of debris is common practice, but this introduces a new concern: the increasing mass of human-made materials injected into the atmosphere. As satellites and rocket... Dr. Antonio Ocaña |

SO colloquium: Stars and their close-by planets: clues of magnetic interactions Stars interact with their close-in planets through the gravitational and magnetic fields and with their radiation. After a general introduction to those interactions, I shall review some observational clues of magnetic star-planet interactions considering data obtained in the optical, X-ray, and radio domains. Based on a stellar force-free coronal field or the excitation of Alfven waves by an orbiting planet, some analytical models will be... Dr. Antonino Francesco Lanza |

The Local Volume Mapper, state of the art The LVM, one of the three surveys that conform the SDSS-V project, is the first Integral Field Spectroscopy survey of the Local Group, including and unique mapping of the Milky Way. It started survey operations in October 2023, with some early science observations on cheery-peaked targets, and the first observations on the foreseen survey itself. I present here the status of the survey, including the state of the major contributions from the IA... Dr. Sebastián Sánchez |

SO Colloquium: Spatially resolved spectroscopy properties of low-redshift galaxies We summarize here some of the results reviewed recently by Sanchez (2020) and Sanchez et al. (2021) comprising the advances in the comprehension of galaxies in the nearby universe based on integral field spectroscopic galaxy surveys. We review our current knowledge of the spatially resolved spectroscopic properties of low-redshift star-forming galaxies (and their retired counterparts) using results from the most recent optical integral field...

Recent Progress in Understanding Solar Flare Magnetism using Data-Driven Simulations and Statistical Analysis of Vector Magnetic Fields Continuous vector magnetic-field measurements by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) allowed us to run data-driven simulations of solar eruptions and perform statistical studies of magnetic-fields for many flares. In this talk I will review new aspects of flare magnetism discovered using SDO data, including progress in data-driven simulations and statistical studies of magnetic-reconnection...
