Understanding the mechanisms behind this emission\, such as accretion onto supermassive black holes\, particle acceleration\, magnetic field generation\, and shock formation in relativistic plasma\, is essential for interpreting high-energy and multi-messenger observations. These processes can be best probed through coordinated studies combining very-high-energy and high-angular-resolution observations. \nI will present recent results from polarization VLBI studies that trace jet formation\, acceleration\, and magnetic field structure in AGN on parsec scales. Our observations provide clear evidence for a net toroidal magnetic field in a current-carrying blazar jet. We also find that blazars viewed at extremely small angles to the line of sight can naturally resolve the long-standing «Doppler factor crisis\,» reconciling the low apparent jet speeds from VLBI with the high Doppler factors inferred from very-high-energy observations. \nOur results highlight the central role of relativistic beaming in shaping the gamma-ray and neutrino emission of blazars. This suggests that parent PeV-scale protons exhibit relativistic bulk motion and offers new constraints for models of their multi-messenger output. \nFecha y lugar: 19/01/2026 – 13:00 | Salón de ActosYuri KovalevMax Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy \n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/high-energy-blazar-physics-in-the-multi-messenger-context/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:Seminarios ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/seminarscover-e1752660087307.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260129T123000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260129T133000 DTSTAMP:20260406T083232 CREATED:20251201T092256Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260123T095536Z UID:28868-1769689800-1769693400@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:Fantastic PeVatrons and where to find them DESCRIPTION:Cosmic rays with energies up to about 3 PeV corresponding to the ‘knee’ feature in the observed spectrum are believed to be of Galactic origin. There is however no indisputable evidence\, neither observational nor theoretical\, that Galactic sources can supply enough protons of these high energies. A long-standing paradigm constitutes that the bulk of Galactic cosmic rays at least at lower energies are produced in supernova remnants\, which is based mainly on the fact that supernova explosions can provide enough energy to explain the energy density of cosmic rays in the Galaxy. \nBut in recent years it becomes more and more evident that protons can reach PeV energies in supernova remnants only in some special and extreme cases. This together with recent discoveries (notably from the LHAASO experiment) of the gamma-ray emission at multi-PeV energies from a number of sources stimulated discussions of plausible alternatives among which compact massive star clusters and microquasars seem to be the most promising candidates. \nIn this talk I will discuss the current status of the search for PeVatrons from the perspective of theory and modeling focusing on capabilities of the supernova remnant paradigm also extending it to the supernovae explosions within compact stellar clusters. \nFecha y lugar: 29/01/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosIurii SushchCentro de Investigaciones Energéticas\, Medioambientales y Tecnológicas (CIEMAT) \n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/fantastic-pevatrons-and-where-to-find-them/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:Seminarios ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/seminarscover-e1752660087307.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260129T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260129T200000 DTSTAMP:20260406T083232 CREATED:20260119T115918Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260216T160811Z UID:29143-1769713200-1769716800@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:Los eclipses en la ciencia y el conocimiento DESCRIPTION:Amplias franjas de la Península Ibérica serán testigos este año 2026 y el siguiente\, 2027\, de sendos eclipses totales de Sol\, seguidos en 2028 por otro anular. Esta llamada “tríada ibérica de eclipses” es un conjunto de acontecimientos bastante singular. Los eclipses solares totales son acaso los sucesos astronómicos más espectaculares y que más han causado asombro y admiración en la humanidad. Son además\, una fuente de información no sólo astronómica sino también para otras disciplinas del conocimiento tanto científicas como no científicas. \nTras explicar brevemente qué es un eclipse y alguna de sus características distintivas\, la conferencia se centrará en los aspectos más destacables con los que los eclipses han contribuido a incrementar nuestro acervo cultural común. Desde su uso para determinar parámetros fundamentales para la navegación marítima en el siglo XVIII hasta la comprobación experimental de la Teoría de la Relatividad General\, pasando por la datación precisa de dinastías chinas\, la interrupción de guerras siglos antes de nuestra era\, detección de errores geofísicos en la velocidad de rotación de la Tierra\, o el descubrimiento de nuevos elementos químicos. \nFecha: 29/01/2026 – 19:00Conferenciante:  Jose Carlos del Toro IniestaFiliación:  Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) \n  \nEL CONFERENCIANTE \nJose Carlos del Toro Iniesta nació en Cartagena en 1960.

The subsequent evolution of these planetesimals comprises heating by short- and long-lived radiogenic nuclei as well as mutual collisions so that the contemporary survivors of all these phases might have somewhat different internal structures than the primitive planetesimals in the early stages of the Solar System. \nI will use available models of the makeup of evolved planetesimals and compare them with the properties of cometary nuclei. \nFecha y lugar: 10/02/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosJürgen BlumTechnische Universität Braunschweig \n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/the-long-and-winding-road-from-planetesimals-to-comets/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:Seminarios,SO Colloquium ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/SO-COLLOQUIUM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260211T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260211T093000 DTSTAMP:20260406T083232 CREATED:20260206T093751Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260309T100307Z UID:29442-1770802200-1770802200@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:Día Internacional de la Mujer y la Niña en la Ciencia 2026 DESCRIPTION:En la actualidad\, las mujeres y niñas encuentran barreras de muchos tipos\, a veces muy sutiles\, que dificultan su presencia en la ciencia. Esta desigualdad es observable en la elección de los estudios por parte de las niñas y se va agudizando al avanzar en las carreras científicas y tecnológicas. A fin de lograr el acceso y la participación plena y equitativa en la ciencia para las mujeres y las niñas\, la igualdad de género y el empoderamiento de las mujeres y las niñas\, el 15 de diciembre de 2015 se proclamó el 11 de febrero de cada año como el Día Internacional de la Mujer y la Niña en la Ciencia por la la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas. \nEl Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía se suma un año a esta iniciativa con una serie de actividades en nuestro centro destinadas a visibilizar el trabajo de las científicas\, y a crear roles femeninos en los ámbitos de la ciencia y la ingeniería que promuevan prácticas que favorezcan la igualdad de género en el ámbito científico. \n  \n \n \nPregunta a una astrónoma\nPara la actividad ‘Pregunta a una astrónoma’ estudiantes de segundo de primaria del CEIP Elena Martín Vivaldi se reunirán con varias investigadoras del IAA-CSIC para hacerles preguntas de astronomía\, sus carreras\, … ¡y lo que se les vaya ocurriendo!

In recent years\, however\, they have emerged as some of the most efficient particle accelerators also in our own Galaxy\, where several classes of objects are now detected up to energies of tens of TeV. \nTheir proximity allows us to spatially resolve — at least in some cases — the outflows\, providing unprecedented insight into how these powerful accelerators operate. In this talk\, I will review the latest results obtained for Galactic jets and winds\, spanning scales from the kilometer-sized magnetospheres of pulsars to the multi-parsec structures produced by microquasars. \nFecha y lugar: 12/02/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosEmma de Oña WilhelmiDESY \n  \n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/so-colloquium-jets-across-the-scales-high-energy-galactic-stellar-outflows/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:SO Colloquium ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/SO-COLLOQUIUM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260219T123000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260226T133000 DTSTAMP:20260406T083232 CREATED:20260113T105214Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260213T142747Z UID:29108-1771504200-1772112600@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:Deep Learning for Small Astrophysical Datasets: From Cosmology to Exoplanet Detection DESCRIPTION:Deep learning is increasingly revolutionizing astrophysics by enabling advanced analysis of complex and high-dimensional datasets. However\, the application of these methods is often limited by data availability and noise\, requiring careful model design\, optimization\, and regularization to balance performance and robustness. \nThis talk presents recent research addressing these challenges\, including deep learning techniques for cosmological parameter reconstruction\, the use of genetic algorithms to optimize neural networks and improve precision\, and the combination of these methods to accelerate Bayesian inference. It then focuses on applications to the detection of Earth-like exoplanets using stellar radial-velocity measurements\, where stellar activity and instrumental effects dominate the signal. In particular\, deep learning models trained directly on real high-resolution stellar spectra are shown to recover tiny Doppler shifts in unseen data\, approaching the precision required for the detection of terrestrial planets. \nThe seminar aims to provide practical insights into the effective use of deep learning for astrophysical problems in which data are limited\, and precision is crucial. \nFecha y lugar: 19/02/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosIsidro Gómez VargasIAA-CSIC \n  \n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/deep-learning-for-small-astrophysical-datasets-from-cosmology-to-exoplanet-detection/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:Seminarios ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/seminarscover-e1752660087307.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260224T123000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260224T133000 DTSTAMP:20260406T083233 CREATED:20251118T090057Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260302T100102Z UID:28797-1771936200-1771939800@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:HAYDN: A Next-Generation ESA Mission Concept for Stellar Structure and Evolution and its impact on exoplanet and galaxy formation DESCRIPTION:HAYDN is one of the ten mission concepts proposed to ESA’s M-class call (M8) after its Step-1 selection. It is designed to revolutionise our understanding of stellar structure and evolution through high-precision\, space-based asteroseismology in dense stellar fields\, including clusters. By performing continuous photometric monitoring of stars in these dense stellar fields\, HAYDN aims to map stellar interiors across a wide range of ages\, masses\, and chemical environments—providing unprecedented constraints on stellar physics\, Galactic evolution\, exoplanet’s formation\, and the formation history of the Milky Way\, for naming some of the HAYDN’s science cases.In this talk\, I will present the scientific motivation\, mission architecture\, and observational strategy of HAYDN\, as well as the unique diagnostic power that seismic measurements offer for probing stellar structure in environments inaccessible to current missions. I will also give an overview of the current status of the proposal\, its evolution from ESA’s M7 cycle to the ongoing M8 selection process\, and the major technical milestones achieved so far. \nA significant part of the talk will highlight the Spanish contribution to HAYDN\, including leadership roles in mission science\, coordination of key working groups\, and involvement in the design of the payload and data processing pipeline. Spain is currently the second-largest contributor to the project\, with active participation from several national institutes and universities. \nFinally\, I will outline the opportunities HAYDN opens for the Spanish community—from synergies with ground-based facilities to participation in science preparation activities—and discuss how this mission could strengthen Spain’s strategic presence in future ESA space-astrophysics programmes. \nFecha y lugar: 24/02/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosAndy MoyaUniversitat de València \n  \n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/haydn-a-next-generation-esa-mission-concept-for-stellar-structure-and-evolution-and-its-impact-on-exoplanet-and-galaxy-formation/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:Seminarios ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/seminarscover-e1752660087307.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260226T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260226T200000 DTSTAMP:20260406T083233 CREATED:20260217T143725Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260217T143725Z UID:29906-1772132400-1772136000@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:Un viaje por Marte DESCRIPTION:Marte\, el planeta rojo\, ha despertado la fascinación de la humanidad desde los primeros tiempos. \nEn esta charla trataremos de ponernos en la piel de un hipotético futuro viajero por Marte para descubrir cuáles son las condiciones que afrontaría en la superficie del planeta. \nRepasaremos también la historia de la exploración espacial de Marte y discutiremos algunas de las preguntas abiertas sobre nuestro planeta vecino. \nFecha: 26/02/2026 – 19:00\nConferenciante:  Francisco González Galindo\nFiliación:  Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) \n  \n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/un-viaje-por-marte/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:Conferencias Lucas Lara ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/lucas-lara.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260306T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260306T140000 DTSTAMP:20260406T083233 CREATED:20260113T105546Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260306T122933Z UID:29112-1772802000-1772805600@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:The TESS harvest of temperate worlds: Expanding the population of transiting giant exoplanets DESCRIPTION:Most detected transiting planets have orbits of a few tens of days\, exposing them to intense stellar irradiation and interactions that significantly alter their properties. In contrast\, colder planets with longer orbital periods are less affected\, offering crucial insights into their formation and migration histories. I will review the detection and characterization of warm and temperate giant planets first found as TESS transits. In particular I will detail the detection of planetary systems hosting a rare class of planets: transiting temperate Jupiters with orbital periods up to 500 days\, thanks to a four-year ground and space-based photometric and radial velocity survey. \nThis research lays the groundwork for the detection of Earth analogs by the PLATO mission\, highlighting the importance of follow-up observations of single and duo-transit candidates in uncovering transiting Earth-like planets. Combining precise masses\, radii\, and ages with a state-of-the-art planetary evolution model\, I infer the metal enrichment of the newly discovered temperate giants and explore their influence on the mass-metallicity correlation of giant planets giving us insights on their formation pathways. \nFecha y lugar: 06/03/2026 – 13:00 | Salón de ActosSolène Ulmer-MollLeiden Obseratory \n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/the-tess-harvest-of-temperate-worlds-expanding-the-population-of-transiting-giant-exoplanets/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:Seminarios ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/seminarscover-e1752660087307.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260310T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260312T130000 DTSTAMP:20260406T083233 CREATED:20260305T105605Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260305T105723Z UID:30120-1773133200-1773320400@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:Equality\, Diversity\, and Inclusion in Science DESCRIPTION:Tutors: Francesca Primas (ESO) and Enrique Pérez Montero (IAA-CSIC) \nThree half days (mornings) at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) \n  \n\n \n \nSchedule\nTuesday (9:30h – 13:00h) – Salón de Actos Wednesday (9:30h – 11:00h) – Sala de Juntas  \nWednesday (11:30h – 14:00h) – Salón de Actos Thursday (9:30h – 11:00h) – Salón de Actos \nThursday (11:30-13:00) – Sala de Juntas  \nCoffee breaks each morning from 11:00 to 11:30 \n \nContent\nDAY 1 – Tuesday 10/03/26  \n\nModule 1 (9:30-11:00): «Implicit and explicit biases in science/astrophysics».\n\nWe are all biased\, but what is exactly a bias and why is that a problem? During this session\, different types of bias will be discussed\, with a special focus on their impact on different phases of our research/academic careers.  \n\nCoffee break (11:00-11:30)\nModule 2 (11:30-13:00): «Tips for career development».\n\nThis talk will address specific tips and suggestions about how to approach family conciliation in science/astrophysics\, the importance of multitracking\, useful knowledge about first promotion or what becomes gradually more important at different stages of the career path. \n  \nDAY 2 – Wednesday 11/03/26 \n\nTalk session (9:30 – 11:00)\, closed for early career researchers (at Sala de Juntas)\nCoffee break (11:00-11:30)\nModule 4 (11:30-13:00) – Enrique Pérez Montero: «Inclusion at CSIC»\n\nThis talk will present a recent study made internally by the CSIC to analyze our working environment from the perspective of the inclusion\, along with tips for both the institutions and workers. \n  \nDAY 3 – Thursday 12/03/26  \n\nModule 4 (9:30-11:00): «The importance of networking and mentoring»\nCoffee break (11:00-11:30)\nPanel discussion / talks from the participants (11:30-13:00\, at Sala de Juntas)\n\n  \n  \nThis event is supported by the «Center of Excellence Severo Ochoa» award to the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía.

This enables studies of faint radio-loud AGN at high angular resolution and investigations of the cosmic star-formation rate history out to high redshift. \nIn this talk\, I will present the key developments that have driven the essential advancements in data processing and highlight the scientific opportunities they enable. I will also outline future directions\, including further acceleration of our automated imaging pipeline and the potential integration of GenAI techniques for more accurate calibration. Together\, these developments will pave the way towards even deeper wide-field imaging and\, ultimately\, a sub-arcsecond resolution survey of the entire northern sky at 150 MHz. \nFecha y lugar: 17/03/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosJurjen de JongUniversity of Leiden \n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/unprecedented-depths-at-the-highest-resolutions-with-lofar/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:Seminarios ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/seminarscover-e1752660087307.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260324T083000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260326T193000 DTSTAMP:20260406T083233 CREATED:20260310T103147Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260326T092049Z UID:30225-1774341000-1774553400@www.iaa.csic.es 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.

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  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/the-formation-of-high-altitude-clouds-on-terrestrial-planets/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:SO Colloquium ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/SO-COLLOQUIUM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260326T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260326T200000 DTSTAMP:20260406T083233 CREATED:20260312T124013Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260312T124320Z UID:30236-1774551600-1774555200@www.iaa.csic.es 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  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/fontaneria-de-agujeros-negros-arreglando-roturas-en-el-espaciotiempo/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:Conferencias Lucas Lara ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/lucas-lara.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260407T123000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260407T133000 DTSTAMP:20260406T083233 CREATED:20260302T152934Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260318T143449Z UID:30044-1775565000-1775568600@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:SO Colloquium - New optical diagnostics and Machine Learning classification of emission-line nebulae: Toward larger and more complete samples of supernova remnants in nearby galaxies DESCRIPTION:Supernova remnants (SNRs) provide valuable insights into supernova (SN) environments and the long-term influence of SN-driven shocks on the interstellar medium (ISM). By heating\, compressing\, and chemically enriching the ISM\, SNRs trace how different explosion environments shape galaxy evolution. However\, classical optical criteria\, particularly the [S II]/Hα ratio\, miss a significant fraction of low-excitation or evolved SNRs\, biasing current extragalactic SNR samples. \nTo mitigate these biases\, we develop new optical diagnostics based on two- and three-line emission ratios combined with a Support Vector Machine classifier. This method reliably separates SNRs from contaminating H II regions and recovers up to ~35% of remnants overlooked by traditional cuts\, enabling more complete SNR samples. \nWe apply these tools to MUSE IFU observations of nearby galaxies\, identifying previously unrecognized SNR populations and characterizing their physical properties and luminosity functions. Using complementary Chandra observations\, we also detect new X-ray SNRs and investigate links between their optical and X-ray emission. We find that remnants located in higher pre-shock densities tend to be more X-ray luminous\, and that optical SNRs with X-ray counterparts commonly show enhanced [O III] λ5007 emission\, consistent with faster shock velocities. \nFinally\, we present extended diagnostics that incorporate a broader set of emission lines and physical parameters\, enabling the robust identification and classification of emission-line nebulae\, including SNRs\, H II regions\, and planetary nebulae. These tools provide a general framework for detecting and characterizing previously unrecognized nebular populations in nearby galaxies. \n  \nFecha y lugar: 07/04/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosMaria KopsacheiliICE-CSIC \n  \n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/so-new-optical-diagnostics-and-machine-learning-classification-of-emission-line-nebulae/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:Seminarios ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/SO-COLLOQUIUM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260409T123000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260409T133000 DTSTAMP:20260406T083233 CREATED:20260211T130755Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260211T130758Z UID:29875-1775737800-1775741400@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:SO Colloquium - Giant radio sources and their episodic nuclear activity DESCRIPTION:Radio galaxies and quasars are among the most luminous and largest single structures in our Universe ranging in size from parsecs to several Mpc. The giant radio sources (GRSs)\, defined to be those with a projected linear size >700 kpc\, pose a number of interesting astrophysical questions and are also valuable probes of the intergalactic environment. We examine critically different scenarios for their formation and evolution including insights from our discovery of such large sources associated with narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxies\, which are believed to harbour lower mass super-massive black holes. \nGiant radio sources are believed to be inclined at large angles to the line of sight\, unlike blazars whose jets are almost pointed at us. The bulk of the active galactic nuclei (AGN) detected at gamma rays are associated with blazars. However\, from a careful multi-wavelength study\, we have been able to identify a significant population of misaligned gamma-ray emitting AGN associated with radio galaxies\, tripling the previously known numbers. This includes a small population of GRSs\, most of which were previously unknown. We discuss the implications of these in our understanding of GRSs. \nOne of the most striking examples of episodic nuclear jet activity in AGN are the double-double radio galaxies with two or more pairs of distinct lobes on opposite sides of the nucleus. Episodic nuclear activity has been suggested to be one of the models for the formation of GRSs. We give a brief overview of episodic nuclear activity\, and critically examine this possibility for GRSs. We highlight the important role that LOFAR has played in these studies\, and an even more significant role that SKA will play in the future. \nFecha y lugar: 09/04/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosDhruba SaikiaInter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) \n  \n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/so-colloquium-giant-radio-sources-and-their-episodic-nuclear-activity/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:SO Colloquium ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/SO-COLLOQUIUM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260416T123000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260416T133000 DTSTAMP:20260406T083233 CREATED:20260306T124703Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260306T124941Z UID:30209-1776342600-1776346200@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:SO Colloquium - Bursting and cool slowly rotating stellar zombies DESCRIPTION:The large efforts put into studying the transient Universe in the past years allowed the discovery of a variety of new astrophysical classes and events\, many of them proposed to be related to the formation of a neutron star or a magnetar\, the most magnetic pulsars. Pulsars are unique astronomical laboratories where the most extreme gravity and electromagnetism can be probed. The study of these objects transcends the traditional astrophysical approach and requires a multidisciplinary effort that spans from particle and nuclear physics to astrophysics\, from experiment to theory\, from gravitational waves to the electromagnetic spectrum. \nI will review in this seminar what pulsars and magnetars are\, their observational characteristics\, their expected population\, as well as their connection with the most extreme extra Galactic events such as Gamma-Ray Bursts and Fast Radio Bursts. \nFecha y lugar: 0/04/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosNanda ReaICE-CSIC \n  \n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/so-colloquium-bursting-and-cool-slowly-rotating-stellar-zombies/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:SO Colloquium ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/SO-COLLOQUIUM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260423T103000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260502T140000 DTSTAMP:20260406T083234 CREATED:20260401T105730Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260402T131254Z UID:30531-1776940200-1777730400@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:Área de la Ciencia - Feria del Libro de Granada 2026 DESCRIPTION:Un año más\, el Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) y la Estación Experimental del Zaidín (EEZ-CSIC) se unen para coordinar el “Área de la Ciencia” en la Feria del Libro de Granada\, un espacio dedicado a la divulgación científica para todos los públicos. \nDel 23 de abril al 2 de mayo\, el Área de Ciencia albergará más de cuarenta actividades totalmente gratuitas en pleno centro de la ciudad: talleres\, charlas\, presentaciones de libros\, pódcast en directo\, … Se trata de la novena edición de una iniciativa pionera en la que ciencia y literatura comparten espacio\, tiempo y público\, una fórmula que ha empezado a implantarse ya en otras ferias del libro.

of Galaxy Evolution from the Local Universe to Intermediate Redshifts: The Role of Environment\, Kinematics\, and Feedback DESCRIPTION:Understanding galaxy evolution requires extracting physical information from integrated galaxy spectra\, including the coupled evolution of stars and gas. \nIn this talk\, I present a novel semi-analytic spectral-fitting approach that jointly and self-consistently constrains the chemical evolution of both stars and gas.The model incorporates gas inflow\, outflow\, and star formation processes\, and is fitted directly to galaxy absorption-line spectra\, while emission-line diagnostics are used to constrain the present-day gas-phase metallicity. Applying this framework to galaxies in the local Universe from SDSS-IV/MaNGA and at intermediate redshifts from COSMOS-WALL/LEGA-C\, we reconstruct their star formation and chemical enrichment histories in a self-consistent manner. Such analysis allows us to investigate how the interplay between gas accretion and outflows shapes galaxy evolution\, in particular how galaxies transition away from the star-forming main sequence and become quenched. \nWe further explore the roles of feedback from active galactic nuclei and supernovae\, as well as environmental and kinematic properties\, in regulating these processes. \nFinally\, I will discuss how forthcoming spectroscopic surveys such as WEAVE and 4MOST will provide critical data to further test and extend these scenarios. \nFecha y lugar: 13/05/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosShuang ZhouINAF-OAB \n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/semi-analytic-analysis-of-galaxy-evolution-from-the-local-universe-to-intermediate-redshifts-the-role-of-environment-kinematics-and-feedback/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:Seminarios ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/seminarscover-e1752660087307.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260514T123000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260514T133000 DTSTAMP:20260406T083234 CREATED:20260119T144357Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260312T154846Z UID:29183-1778761800-1778765400@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:TBD DESCRIPTION:TBD \nFecha y lugar: 14/05/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosGwenaël Alan MilcareckIAA-CSIC \n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/tbd-2/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:Seminarios ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/seminarscover-e1752660087307.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260521T123000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260521T133000 DTSTAMP:20260406T083234 CREATED:20260302T161002Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260302T161005Z UID:30049-1779366600-1779370200@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:SO Colloquium - Models for Protostellar Molecular Jets DESCRIPTION:TBD \nFecha y lugar: 21/05/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosSylvie CabritObservatory of Paris\, France \n  \n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/so-colloquium-models-for-protostellar-molecular-jets/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:SO Colloquium ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/SO-COLLOQUIUM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260526T123000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260526T133000 DTSTAMP:20260406T083234 CREATED:20260302T161423Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260302T161427Z UID:30054-1779798600-1779802200@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:TBD DESCRIPTION:TBD \nFecha y lugar: 26/05/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosMario TafallaObservatorio Astronómico Nacional \n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/tbd-4/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:Seminarios ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/seminarscover-e1752660087307.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260528T123000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260528T133000 DTSTAMP:20260406T083234 CREATED:20260302T161538Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260326T105423Z UID:30058-1779971400-1779975000@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:What the Variability of Embedded Protostars Tells Us about Accretion: Past\, Present\, and Future DESCRIPTION:The James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) has been monitoring eight nearby low-mass star-forming regions in the Gould Belt at submillimetre wavelengths for more than eight years to search for and quantify the time dependent brightness variability of the resident deeply embedded protostars. \nSecular variability is common among these protostars; greater than 25% of the sample show measurable long-term brightness changes and 10% show burst behaviour lasting months to years. We interpret this secular variability as reflecting changes in the mass accretion rate from the disk to the protostar\, as predicted by theoretical models of (proto)stellar assembly. For a subset of our sample we have contemporaneous mid-IR light-curves which allow additional constraints on the conditions responsible for the brightness variations\, confirming that the submillimetre variability is driven by changes in the dust temperature profile of the envelope. \nFurthermore\, we have combined\, for one source\, single dish and interferometric sub-mm monitoring\, which has allowed us to unambiguously recover a time lag in the variability at larger angular scales and use the results to confirm the envelope structure surrounding the embedded protostar. \nFecha y lugar: 28/05/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosDoug JohnstoneNational Research Council Canada – Herzberg Astronomy and Astrophysics Research Centre \n  \n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/what-the-variability-of-embedded-protostars-tells-us-about-accretion-past-present-and-future/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:Seminarios ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/seminarscover-e1752660087307.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260618T123000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260618T133000 DTSTAMP:20260406T083235 CREATED:20260123T100555Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260123T100559Z UID:29319-1781785800-1781789400@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:TBD DESCRIPTION:TBD \nFecha y lugar: 18/06/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosSilvia CelliSapienza University of Rome \n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/tbd-3/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:Seminarios ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/seminarscover-e1752660087307.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20261022T123000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20261022T133000 DTSTAMP:20260406T083235 CREATED:20260323T094624Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260323T095004Z UID:30339-1792672200-1792675800@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:Venus as an Anchor Point for Planetary Habitability DESCRIPTION:A fundamental aspect of understanding the limits of habitable environments and detectable signatures is the study of where the boundaries of such environments can occur\, and the conditions under which a planet is rendered into a hostile environment. In our solar system\, Venus is the most Earth-like planet\, yet at some point in planetary history there was a bifurcation between the two: Earth has been continually habitable since the end-Hadean\, whereas Venus became uninhabitable. Indeed\, Venus is the type-planet for a world that has transitioned from habitable and Earth-like conditions\, through the inner edge of the Habitable Zone (HZ); thus it provides a natural laboratory to study the evolution of habitability. \nIn this talk I will describe the gaps in our knowledge regarding Venus within the context of how these gaps are impacting our ability to model exoplanet atmospheres and interiors. I will discuss various factors that relate to a possible habitable past of Venus\, including orbital evolution. I will outline exoplanet target selection for testing the conditions of runaway greenhouse and present examples of potential Venus analogs. \nFinally\, I will summarize the primary exoplanet science questions that will be addressed by the coming NASA and ESA missions to Venus. \n  \nFecha y lugar: 22/10/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosStephen KaneUniversity of California\, Riverside \n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/venus-as-an-anchor-point-for-planetary-habitability/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:Seminarios ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/seminarscover-e1752660087307.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
