SUMMARY:Semi-analytic Analysis 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

SUMMARY:GCM simulations of ice giants and mini-neptunes: an overview of our understanding of the atmospheric dynamics of these planets
DESCRIPTION:Ice giants and Mini-Neptunes have a thick gaseous envelope dominated by hydrogen and helium\, enriched deep within with large amounts of water\, methane or other volatile compounds. Uranus and Neptune are the only known planets of this type in our solar system and can serve as a laboratory for studying this type of atmosphere. \nThe Voyager-2 spacecraft\, followed by numerous studies on large ground-based telescopes and the Hubble Space Telescope\, revealed intense jet streams and meteorological activity on these planets. Indeed\, the fastest zonal tropospheric winds in the solar system are found on Neptune (-400 m/s)\, while storm activity on both planets is no match for the gas giant planets. Despite these scientific motivations and advances in observational techniques\, the atmospheric dynamics of these planets remain very little known. To date\, global climate models (GCM) have never been able to reproduce zonal winds. The simulated winds were a factor of 10 to 100 lower than those observed. \nThe difficulties encountered in modelling atmospheric circulation on ice giants call into question the validity of the atmospheric circulation of mini-neptunes simulated to date by GCMs. The approximations to the primitive atmospheric equations used for the atmospheres of terrestrial planets (Earth\, Mars\, …) may no longer be valid in the case of H2-dominated atmospheres. In this talk\, we will attempt to explain the advances that have been made in understanding the atmospheric dynamics of this type of atmosphere by exploring the validity of various dynamic hypotheses. \nFecha y lugar: 14/05/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosGwenaël Alan MilcareckIAA-CSIC \n  \n

SUMMARY:SO Colloquium - Origin and impact of protostellar outflows: the ALMA and JWST revolution
DESCRIPTION:The birth of stars\, and of planets around them\, is universally associated with a spectacular bipolar ejection phenomenon that extends from stellar to parsec scales. Its manifestations include a narrow and fast axial jet\, surrounded by a broader and slower molecular outflow carrying a large amount of mass. \nThe exact origin of these dual phenomena\, their role in the removal of excess angular momentum\, and their impact on star and planet formation\, have all been a subject of fierce debate and active research over four decades. \nIn this talk\, I will review major progress on these topics obtained from new observational facilities (from the optical to the millimeter range) and from enhanced modeling capabilities. In particular\, I will highlight recent results from ALMA and JWST and how they could revolutionize our understanding of the origin and impact of protostellar outflows. \nFecha y lugar: 21/05/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosSylvie CabritObservatory of Paris\, France \n  \n

SUMMARY:Round table - Astrophysical Jets in Contrasting Environments and Scales
DESCRIPTION:Jets are present on multiple astrophysical scenarios\, from protostars to supermassive black holes. Despite the enormous differences in their energetics\, these jets appear to share several basic properties. Thanks to their proximity and the richness of their detectable multi-wavelength emission (free-free and synchrotron continuum\, as well as atomic\, ionized\, and molecular lines)\, the physical properties of protostellar jets can be studied in great detail\, together with their connection to the associated accretion disk\, the mechanisms responsible for their launching and collimation\, and their interaction with the surrounding environment. \nThe knowledge gained from young stellar objects may therefore offer valuable insights into jets in other astrophysical systems. Three experts will come together to explore this possibility\, discussing the similarities and differences among jets in various contexts. \nFecha y lugar: 26/05/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosSylvie Cabrit (Observatoire de Paris\, France) & Doug Johnstone (National Research Council Canada – Herzberg Astronomy and Astrophysics Research Centre\, Canada) \n

SUMMARY:SO Colloquium – 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

SUMMARY:Los eclipses en el arte
DESCRIPTION:Los eclipses solares han sido una de las experiencias naturales más impactantes para la humanidad. La desaparición momentánea del Sol como fuente de vida\, orden y estabilidad\, ha despertado fascinación\, temor y asombro en prácticamente todas las culturas. Por ello\, los eclipses no solo han sido objeto de estudio astronómico\, sino que también se han convertido en poderosos símbolos artísticos\, religiosos y políticos. \nEsta charla propone un recorrido por distintas manifestaciones artísticas inspiradas en los eclipses solares a lo largo de la historia\, desde la Antigüedad hasta el arte contemporáneo. A través de diferentes periodos y culturas\, exploraremos cómo este fenómeno celeste ha sido interpretado\, representado y transformado en imágenes y obras de arte que reflejan la profunda fascinación que el eclipse ha ejercido sobre la humanidad. \nFecha: 28/05/2026 – 19:00Conferenciante:  María Balaguer JiménezFiliación:  Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) \n  \n

SUMMARY:SO Colloquium – Atmospheric Dispersion Correction to detect Exo-Earths: EXOTICA\, ANDES\, and RISTRETTO
DESCRIPTION:Astronomical observations with ground-based telescopes are affected by wavelength-dependent atmospheric dispersion\, due to the variation of the refractive index of the atmosphere with wavelength. In high-resolution imagers and spectrographs\, as used in exoplanet searches\, the use of an atmospheric dispersion corrector (ADC) is mandatory. \nState-of-the art ADCs will thus be implemented in EXOTICA\, ANDES and RISTRETTO. EXOTICA\, the recently proposed EXOplanet Tracker Instrument at Calar Alto\, is a high-resolution spectrograph for radial velocity monitoring of exoplanet candidates. ANDES\, the ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph\, is the high-resolution optical and near-infrared spectrograph for the ESO Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). RISTRETTO is a visible high-resolution spectrograph fed by an extreme adaptive optics (XAO) system\, to be proposed as a visitor instrument on ESO VLT. \nThe atmospheric dispersion has a strong impact on acquired images even after ADC correction. Fiber-fed seeing-limited spectrographs\, like EXOTICA and ANDES\, have different ADC requirements than diffraction limited instruments\, like RISTRETTO\, that imposes requirements at the level of few milli-arcseconds. On the other hand\, for planet-hunting spectrographs like ESPRESSO\, the ADC were over-engineered to reduce systematics to the cm/s-level. These very stringent requirements are almost impossible to achieve with traditional ADCs\, and as such the field is an area of active research. \nIn this talk\, I will present the three instruments as case studies for how ADC requirements are set and understood\, what is the traditional way to correct atmospheric dispersion\, and present the new concept we will adopt for RISTRETTO. \nFecha y lugar: 02/06/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosBachar WehbeInstitute of Astrophysics and Space Sciences (Portugal) \n

SUMMARY:The Index Diagram as a Tool to Disentangle Host Galaxy Contributions in Quasar Spectra
DESCRIPTION:We revisit the Quasar Main Sequence (QMS) by investigating the impact of the stellar component from the host galaxy (HG) on the emission-line spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGN). After identifying SDSS-DR19 spectra with broad emission lines\, we constructed the Index diagram\, a novel\, model-independent diagnostic based on redshift-corrected spectra\, designed to efficiently identify sources with significant stellar HG contributions and to classify AGN spectra into three categories: HG-dominated (HGD)\, intermediate (INT)\, and AGN-dominated (AGND) sources. \nOur QMS analysis shows that HGD sources predominantly occupy the Population B region\, typically exhibiting negligible Fe II emission\, while INT and AGND sources display similar distributions in the Population A region. Cross-matching with radio\, infrared\, and X-ray catalogues reveals that the strongest radio emitters are preferentially associated with HGD and INT sources\, whereas strong X-ray emitters are found among INT and AGND objects\, which also populate the AGN region in the WISE colour diagram. The applicability of the Index diagram is also demonstrated by its implementation in large spectroscopic datasets\, including SDSS DR20 and DESI\, enabling systematic studies of AGN-HG decomposition across big data samples. \nFecha y lugar: 09/06/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosAlenka NegreteInstituto de Astronomía – UNAM \n  \n

SUMMARY:Taking Pictures and Making Movies of Supermassive Black Holes
DESCRIPTION:Black holes are cosmic objects so small and dense\, that nothing\, not even light can escape their gravitational pull. Until recently\, no one had ever seen what a black hole actually looked like. Einstein’s theories predict that a distant observer should see a ring of light encircling the black hole\, which forms when radiation emitted by infalling hot gas is lensed by the extreme gravity near the event horizon. \nThe Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a global array of radio dishes that has now successfully imaged the 6.5 billion solar mass black hole at the center of galaxy M87\, and the 4 million solar mass black hole at the center of the Milky Way – both exhibiting the predicted strong gravitational lensing. Subsequent observations have revealed ordered magnetic fields on horizon scales with implications on how black holes launch relativistic jets of material. What’s next? The next-generation EHT (ngEHT) is a project to expand the EHT in several ways\, enabling us to make full-color\, high definition movies of black holes in pursuit of the next big questions. \nThis talk will cover the first EHT results\, future directions\, and progress towards realizing the ngEHT. \nFecha y lugar: 11/06/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosShep DoelemanCenter for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian \n  \n

SUMMARY:Decoding the clockwork of repeating nuclear transients: unveiling black hole environments with optical polarimetry
DESCRIPTION:Repeating nuclear transients are quasi-periodic outbursts occurring in galactic nuclei\, driven by episodic accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs). These events provide unique laboratories for advancing our understanding of accretion physics\, yet the innermost regions of most galactic nuclei remain inaccessible to direct imaging. More routinely observational approaches are therefore required to uncover the geometry and physical mechanisms governing these extreme environments. \nIn this talk\, I will present optical polarimetry as a powerful tool to probe the hidden structures surrounding SMBHs. I will show how polarimetric observations reveal the geometry of two different classes of repeating nuclear transients: ASASSN-14ko\, the most regularly repeating periodic nuclear transient known to date and a repeating partial tidal disruption event candidate\, and GSN069\, the prototype source of quasi-periodic eruptions. These results are part of POLTerDEIST\, a target-of-opportunity observational program combining data from OSN\, CAHA\, NOT\, and VLT\, which I will also introduce. \nFecha y lugar: 16/06/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosBeatriz Agís GonzálezInstitute of Astrophysics at FORTH \n  \n

SUMMARY:Particle acceleration and non-thermal radiation in young star clusters
DESCRIPTION:Cosmic ray acceleration up to PeV energies has been suggested to take place in massive and young stellar clusters. The formation of a strong termination shock driven by the collective action of stellar winds in a compact cluster offers a promising location where efficient particle acceleration might take place. The subsequent hadronic collisions of these particles result into gamma-ray and neutrino production. \nWithin a scenario of particle acceleration at the cluster wind termination shock\, we compute the expected gamma-ray and neutrino signals from both observed star clusters from the Gaia satellite as well as from the overall Galactic cluster population\, evaluating detection prospects for both source and diffuse emissions from this source population by very-high-energy gamma-ray and neutrino instruments\, as CTA\, KM3NeT\, and IceCube. \nFecha y lugar: 18/06/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosSilvia CelliSapienza University of Rome \n  \n

SUMMARY:TALES OF BLACK HOLES
DESCRIPTION:TALES OF BLACK HOLES\nINTERNATIONAL DOCTORAL SUMMER SCHOOL ON ADVANCED BLACK HOLE PHYSICS\n\nBlack holes are among the most fascinating objects in the universe. From cosmological\, galactic and stellar scales\, where black holes are integral pieces in the formation and evolution of different structures\, to microscopic scales\, where 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. A proper understanding of many aspects of modern physics requires being familiar with the concept of black hole; conversely\, comprehending black holes in all their dimensions requires extensive knowledge in diverse branches of physics\, including geometry\, thermodynamics\, fluid dynamics\, quantum field theory and numerical analysis. \nThis summer school will offer PhD and MSc students the opportunity to gain a solid understanding of the theory\, phenomenology and observations of black holes and acquire a broad perspective of current research tendencies. Lectures covering each of these aspects will be delivered by three leading international experts. \nThe school will take place in the historical Carmen de la Victoria at the heart of the Albayzín\, the old Arab neighborhood of Granada\, where all participants will be hosted on a full board basis. The Carmen de la Victoria faces the famous Alhambra\, the place of inspiration of the popular book by Washington Irving that the name of the school pays homage to. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizers\nRaúl Carballo-Rubio (IAA-CSIC)\nJavier Olmedo (UGR)\nCarlos Barceló (IAA-CSIC)\nJosé Luis Gómez (IAA-CSIC)\nMar Bastero Gil (UGR)\nMiguel Sánchez Portal (IRAM) \n\n\nParticipating institutions\n  \n\n\n\n  \nAcknowledgments: The organisers acknowledge financial support from the University of Granada through the ”Programa de Apoyo a la Organización de International Doctoral Summer Schools en el seno de las Escuelas de Doctorado de la UGR”\, and the State Agency for Research of the Spanish MCIU through the “Center of Excellence Severo Ochoa” award for the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (grant CEX2021-001131-S 10.13039/501100011033). The school is affiliated to the ”Programa de Doctorado en Física y Ciencias del Espacio” of the University of Granada. The school has also received financial support from the Red Española de Física de Ondas Gravitacionales (REDONGRA\, grant RED2024-153735-E) and the Sociedad Española de Gravitación y Relatividad (SEGRE). The organizers acknowledge technical support provided by the Centro de Cálculo at IAA-CSIC.

SUMMARY:The Occultation Portal: A Distributed Platform for Stellar Occultations
DESCRIPTION:The Occultation Portal (OP) is a scientific infrastructure originally developed within the ERC Lucky Star collaboration to support the coordination\, archiving\, and analysis of stellar occultation campaigns. It now provides the wider community with coordinated access to predictions\, datasets\, and analysis tools\, and supports several international programmes\, including our efforts at IAA–CSIC on trans-Neptunian objects and irregular satellites\, for which occultations are essential to measure sizes\, shapes\, atmospheres\, and ring systems. \nThe Portal has recently been redesigned as a distributed system\, combining centralized campaign coordination and data curation with dedicated analysis capabilities for resource-intensive workflows such as astrometric alignment\, photometry\, light-curve extraction\, and limb fitting. This architecture is designed to scale to additional sites through secure data exchange and automated synchronisation between nodes. \nIn the era of Gaia astrometry\, DR3 and beyond\, and the forthcoming LSST/Rubin survey — both driving a rapid increase in predictable stellar occultations — the OP is becoming an increasingly important data hub for the community. In this talk\, I will introduce the Portal to the IAA community\, present its new distributed architecture\, and highlight the main scientific and technical developments behind it. \nFecha y lugar: 30/06/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosYucel KilicIAA-CSIC \n  \n

SUMMARY:SO Colloquium – Filaments: from the large-scale structure to the CGM
DESCRIPTION:I will present a characterisation of filamentary structures at different scales\, from the large-scale cosmic filaments forming the skeleton of the cosmic web\, to the smaller-scale filaments playing a crucial role in the circum-galactic medium (CGM). \nUsing the outputs of recent large-scale hydro-dynamical simulations\, I will focus on some fundamental properties of filaments at z=0\, and show how cosmic filaments evolved since z=4. In the second part of my talk\, I will zoom into CGM scales to show how the smaller-scale filaments (or streams) influence the star-formation activity of galaxies\, and present the latest observational detections using a combination of the miniJPAS and DESI datasets. I will conclude on the importance of understanding the multi-scale nature of the cosmic web and discuss prospects for observing filamentary structures with current and future multi-wavelength datasets. \nFecha y lugar: 02/07/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosDaniela Galárraga EspinosaKavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (IPMU) – Tokyo\, Japan

SUMMARY:Southern Hemisphere Asteroid Radar Program (SHARP)
DESCRIPTION:Precise knowledge of asteroid orbits and properties such as shape\, rotation state and existence of satellites is essential to assess the extent that they might represent impact hazards to the Earth\, and astronomical radar observations have been used to obtain that. Historically\, Goldstone and Arecibo planetary radar capabilities have made significant contributions to tracking many asteroids. However\, their coverage has been limited to the northern hemisphere sky and consequently have missed a fraction of NEAs during Earth flybys. \nTo fill the gap\, in recent years we have developed and demonstrated the Southern Hemisphere Radar Program (SHARP) capability using the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex (CDSCC)\, part of the NASA Deep Space Network (DSN)\, as transmitters and the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) and Murriyang\, the Parkes 64m Radio Telescope\, and more recently University of Tasmania radio telescopes such as Ceduna 30-m dish as receivers. From the start of the project in 2015 to early 2026\, we have detected a total of 43 near-Earth asteroids. \nFecha y lugar: 17/07/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosShinji HoriuchiCSIRO Space & Astronomy/NASA Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex \n

SUMMARY:Beyond being Cosmic Beacons: Insights on the Role of Accreting Supermassive Black Holes in Galaxy Assembly from the Story at z~0
DESCRIPTION:Supermassive black holes (SMBH) that are found in the centres of most galaxies comply with scaling relationships that imply hand-in-hand growth of the SMBH and its galaxy bulge\, which in turn implies that the SMBHs play a significant role in regulating galaxy assembly. SMBHs grow via coalescence as a consequence of their host galaxies merging or due to accretion. Our current broad understanding is that the SMBHs influence star formation via the consequences of accretion\, which enables them to impact their environments out to spatial scales that are well beyond their gravitational sphere of influence. However\, the exact mechanisms and the circumstances under which positive and negative feedback dominate remain elusive. \nI will describe a multi-frequency investigation of the imprints if any at very nearby redshifts of this feedback between the accretion around the SMBH and star formation in the host galaxy. \nFecha y lugar: 22/07/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosPrajval ShastriThe International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) \n

SUMMARY:SO Colloquium – Degendering Physics: Why So Slow?
DESCRIPTION:Among the STEM disciplines\, physics has been long-known to exhibit the most skewed of gender gaps. It has been over a quarter of a century since attention has been drawn to the evidence that the over-representation of men at multiple levels in the physics enterprise is significant and global\, though to varying degrees. The evidence also has pointed to the cause being societal patriarchy leaching into academia and causing gender-based discrimination within\, a trend that is not tempered by the «objectivity» that is attributed to the physics discipline. Progress towards a more equitable and inclusive physics enterprise has been slow\, however. \nWhile the astrophysics sub-discipline could justifiably claim better progress\, I will argue that the slowness is because several mitigative interventions seek to address only the symptoms\, besides also being moulded by patriarchy. Clearly root causes need to be addressed instead\, which requires explicitly stepping away from the all-too-common “Fixing-the-women” approach\, and taking cognisance of the insights from social science scholarship. Interventions need to be interrogated on whether they will bring about long-term cultural transformation\, whether they exclude anyone and whether they could cause harm\, and whether as physicists we have really constructed «merit» in a way that actually promotes understanding our universe. Specific examples from across the globe will be discussed. \nFecha y lugar: 23/07/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosPrajval ShastriThe International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR)

SUMMARY:"Where skies meet: multidisciplinary views of planet and exoplanet atmospheres" - IAA-CSIC Severo Ochoa Advanced School
DESCRIPTION:The IAA-CSIC Severo Ochoa Advanced School «Where skies meet: multidisciplinary views of planet and exoplanet atmospheres» is designed for researchers interested in the study of planetary atmospheres both in the Solar System and in exoplanets\, aiming to bridge the two communities. The school will provide an up-to-date perspective on the latest developments in the study of Solar System atmospheres and in the emerging field of exoplanetary atmospheres\, reflecting the rapid evolution of planetary science. While researchers at all career stages are welcome\, preference will be given to early-stage researchers (PhD researchers and early postdocs). \nThe topics covered by the school include planetary formation\, planetary interior and its link with the atmosphere\, atmospheric modeling\, observational techniques\, radiative transfer and retrieval schemes\, as well as 1-day Workshop on potential Venus-analogue exoplanets. In addition to topical lectures going beyond textbook knowledge\, the school will also schedule hands-on sessions focused on the practical use of  state-of-the-art tools in the field given by their developers\, promoting interaction between lecturers and participants. \n  \n\nMAIN SCIENCE TOPICS\n\n\n\nPlanetary formation\nPlanetary interior and conexion with atmosphere\nAtmospheric modeling\nObservational techniques\nRadiative transfer and retrieval schemes\nWorkshop: Venus analogue exoplanets\n\n  \n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\n\n\nLECTURERS AND TUTORS\n\n\n\nLorena Acuña (Max Planck Institute for Astronomy\, Germany)\nJoanna Barstow (Open University\, UK)\nElsa Ducrot (IRFU-CEA\, France)\nFrancois Forget (Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique – IPSL\, France)\nEric Hébrard (University of Exeter\, UK)\nManuel López Puertas (Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía – CSIC\, Spain)\nYamila Miguel (Leiden University\, The Netherlands)\nOlga Muñoz (IAA-CSIC\, Granada\, Spain)\nIgnas Snellen (Leiden University\, The Netherlands)\nMichael Way (Theoretical Astrophysics\, Department of Physics and Astronomy\, Uppsala University\, Uppsala\, Sweden)\n\n​ \n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\n\n\nORGANIZING COMMITTEE\n\n\n\nFrancisco José García Izquierdo (IAA-CSIC)\n​Francisco Gonzalez Galindo (IAA-CSIC) – Chair\nGabriella Gilli (IAA-CSIC) – Chair of the ExoVenus workshop\nThea Kozakis (IAA-CSIC)\nAlberto Mendi Martos (IAA-CSIC)\nGwenaël Milcareck (IAA-CSIC)\nFrancisco José Pozuelos Romero (IAA-CSIC)\nAlejandro Sánchez López (IAA-CSIC)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:SO Colloquium – 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
