SUMMARY:THESEUS Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Transient High-Energy Sky and Early Universe Surveyor (THESEUS) is a space mission concept currently under Phase A study by the European Space Agency (ESA) as candidate M7 mission\, in view of a launch opportunity in 2037. The current assessment phase will be concluded in mid-2026. Proposed and developed by a large international collaboration\, the THESEUS project aims at fully exploiting Gamma-Ray Bursts for investigating the early Universe and at providing a substantial advancement of multi-messenger and time-domain astrophysics. Through an unprecedented combination of X-/gamma-rays monitors\, an on-board NIR telescope and automated fast slewing capabilities\, THESEUS will be a powerful machine for the detection\, characterization and redshift measurement of any kind of GRBs and many classes of X-ray transients. In addition to the full exploitaiton of high-redshift GRBs for cosmology (pop-III stars\, cosmic re-ionization\, SFR and metallicity evolution up to the «cosmic dawn»)\, THESEUS will allow the identification and study of the electromagnetic counterparts to sources of gravitational waves which will be routinely detected in the late ’30s by next generation facilities like aLIGO/aVirgo\, KAGRA\, LISA\, Einstein Telescope (ET)\, and Cosmic Explorer\, as well as to neutrino sources\, detected\, e.g.\, by KM3NeT. THESEUS will also be able to characterize in X/gamma-rays and in the NIR band most classes of transient sources\, thus providing an ideal synergy with the large e.m. facilities of the near future like LSST\, ELT\, TMT\, SKA\, CTA\, NewAthena. \nWithin this dedicated scientific conference\, the THESEUS science case will be presented through dedicated review talks\, discussing the status-of-the-art knowledge on GRB science\, early Universe studies\, gravitation wave physics\, and transient Universe phenomena in general. The development status of the instruments on-board THESEUS will be reported and discussed\, together with the current assumptions for the mission profile. Contributed talks are expected to enrich the program and suggest further exploitations of the THESEUS instrumentation in many other fields of the modern Astronomy\, Astrophysics\, Cosmology\, and fundamental physics. Through this conference\, we aim at strengthening the involvement of the community in the project and boost even more the synergies being developed between THESEUS and all other facilities operational in the 2030s in the multi-wavelength domains. \nThe event is promoted by the THESEUS consortium and the Science Study Team\, appointed by ESA in 2023\, plus the leading scientific Spanish representatives of the THESEUS collaboration. \nProceedings are expected to be published following the event. \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n\n  \nScience Organizing Committee: \nL.

SUMMARY:SO Colloquium - The formation of high-altitude clouds on terrestrial planets
DESCRIPTION:The three rocky planets in the inner Solar System\, Mars\, Venus and Earth\, host many types of clouds. In particular\,​ the highest-altitude clouds forming up to 100 km above the surface are the most intriguing ones\, as they form at the edge of​ space and are rarely visible to the human eye. \nOn the Earth\, the middle atmosphere hosts a sulphuric acid aerosol layer and​ clouds formed of water ice. Both carbon dioxide ice and water ice clouds form in the Martian atmosphere. Venus is​ covered in a​ thick sulphuric acid cloud layer\, but above that\, water or carbon dioxide ice clouds might form in certain conditions. In addition t​o the necessary ingredient in the form of a​ condensable vapour\, one of the keys to cloud formation is pre-existing particles called condensation nuclei. \nPlanet surfaces provide a good source of particles (such as mineral dust\, biogenic aerosols\, sea salt\,​ pollution). However\, particles from a surface source cannot reach very high altitudes in large amounts and thus another source\,​ such as meteorites\, is required in the middle atmosphere. This presentation will provide an overview of the recent advances on​ high-altitude cloud formation on the three planets\, and show some images of the thin high-altitude​ clouds we actually can see. It​ will also discuss links between the processes and highlight the remaining open questions. \nFecha y lugar: 26/03/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosAnni MäättänenLATMOS laboratory\, Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) \n  \n

SUMMARY:Fontanería de agujeros negros: arreglando roturas en el espaciotiempo
DESCRIPTION:Los agujeros negros son objetos extremos\, hasta tal punto que esconden en su interior regiones en las que nuestra comprensión de la propia estructura de la realidad se rompe\, de manera que conceptos fundamentales como espacio y tiempo dejan de tener sentido. Entender cómo resolver roturas espaciotemporales es uno de los problemas abiertos más fascinantes en la física teórica. \nGracias a avances recientes\, lo que hace más de medio siglo era una pregunta abstracta y filosófica se ha desarrollado hasta convertirse en un área de investigación impulsada por desarrollos pragmáticos y concretos. \nEn esta charla recorreremos lo que se conoce y desconoce sobre la fontanería de agujeros negros\, entendida como el conjunto de técnicas para arreglar roturas en el espaciotiempo. \nFecha: 26/03/2026 – 19:00Conferenciante: Raúl Carballo-RubioFiliación: Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) \n  \n
