SUMMARY:SO Colloquium: Cosmic chemical evolution: here\, there\, and everywhere
DESCRIPTION:Metals play a very important role in star formation and stellar evolution. Amongst other things they control the cooling of the interstellar gas\, thus allowing the formation of stars; they affect the radiation transport\, through the opacities involved in the different microscopic processes; and they have the most important role in the dust formation and in the mass loss from stars. Metals are formed inside stars. Therefore\, it is expected that metal enrichment in the universe should start soon after the formation of the first massive stars that\, after a very short life\, would return to the interstellar medium (ISM) in explosive events newly synthesised chemical elements\, heavier than the primordial hydrogen and helium. It is thought that this ejecta\, at some point mixed with the surrounding gas\, would help to its cooling and propitiate the appearance of a new generation of stars\, hence giving rise to the cycle of cosmic chemical evolution. All this wealth of detail is somehow imprinted in the distribution of abundances in galaxies. The absolute quantities of metals a galaxy (or a region of a galaxy) possesses\, the relative abundances of the different elements\, and their spatial distribution in a given galaxy are important constraints for the verification of our models and scenarios of the formation and evolution of galaxies. \nThere are two ways of handling and exploiting this information. One is to derive abundances in galaxies “in situ”\, i. e. in galaxies at their different redshifts. In that way\, we can observe the gas abundances at the time of the emission of radiation and thus obtain the value of the mean abundances of the gas at a given epoch. The other one is to derive the gas abundances at the present epoc \, that is\, observing galaxies at redshift zero and then use chemical evolution models to infer their abundances at previous epochs. \nEventually both approaches must converge in a single galaxy formation and evolution scenario. Once that convergence is achieved\, the models can be extrapolated back to even earlier times and predictions can be made which can be contrasted with planned observations. \nFecha: 28/11/2024 – 12:30Conferenciante: Profesora Ángeles DíazFiliación: Universidad Autónoma de Madrid\, Madrid\, España

SUMMARY:Hot Topics High Energy Astrophysics HONEST 3
DESCRIPTION:The high energy end of  pulsar spectra. \nPulsars as rapidly spinning neutron stars have always been excellent laboratories for the study of plasma physics\, particle acceleration and cosmic rays. Comprehending how and where particles are accelerated to produce the broadband shape that the pulsed spectra present is subject of enthusiastic discussions and constitute one of the hot topics in high energy astrophysics nowadays.  \nResults from the recent years extending pulsar spectra to TeV energies and beyond motivate debates that can only be elucidated through a deep understanding of the high energy end of their spectrum. In this Workshop\, we aim to discuss the latest results on pulsars from high energy instruments\, their implications for the current theories\, and prospects for future observatories. \n

SUMMARY:Towards the Standardization of the Modeling of Multi-Frequency Observations
DESCRIPTION:Blazars\, a class of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) with relativistic jets oriented toward Earth\, are powerful and highly variable emitters across the electromagnetic spectrum. Time-domain multi-messenger and multi-wavelength (MWL) studies are essential for understanding the physical processes at work on these systems\, yet they often rely on proprietary tools specific to each instrument for reconstructing and modeling the collected data. In this talk\, the current state of blazar studies is briefly outlined within the context of astroparticle physics and gamma-ray astrophysics\, with a focus on the importance of MWL observations. \nIn the second part\, we explore the use of the open-source Python package Gammapy\, originally developed for gamma-ray data analysis\, to design a unified framework for MWL analyses\, spanning a broad energy range from optical to gamma-rays. Recent data from the flaring blazars OP 313 and 4C+27.50 are used to illustrate how a consistent analysis and modeling of the data can be performed by integrating observations from instruments such as the Liverpool Telescope\, Swift\, NuSTAR\, and Fermi-LAT. A forward-folding approach is employed\, providing a more rigorous treatment of observational data\, instrument responses and astrophysical and instrumental backgrounds. With this\, we demonstrate the potential of open-source tools and standardized data formats to unify traditionally isolated datasets\, setting the path for more accessible and reproducible MWL studies. The seminar concludes with a discussion of two immediate applications of this methodology in AGN research. \nFecha: 21/11/2024 – 12:30Conferenciante: Dra.

SUMMARY:Ozone and the Search for Life in the Universe
DESCRIPTION:As we approach the era where we will be able to characterize the atmospheres of terrestrial exoplanets\, we are put on a path to answer one of humanity’s most compelling questions: are we alone in the universe? Molecular oxygen (O2) with a reducing gas (i.e.\, methane) is widely regarded as a promising biosignature – a sign of life in the atmospheres of terrestrial exoplanets. However\, there are circumstances in which O2 will be very difficult or impossible to detect\, such as in atmospheres with small amounts of O2 (as was the case for much of Earth’s history)\, or for missions looking in the mid-IR. For these scenarios\, it has been suggested that ozone (O3)\, the photochemical product of O2\, could be used as a proxy to infer the presence of O2. While O3 is not directly produced by life\, it plays an important role in habitability as the ozone layer is the primary source of UV shielding for surface life on Earth. However O3 production is known to have a nonlinear dependence on O2\, along with being strongly influenced by the UV spectrum of the planet’s host star. In this talk I will discuss planetary habitability in general as well as the climate and photochemistry modeling I have done to assess the reliability of O3 as a proxy for O2. Overall I find that the O2-O3 relationship varies significantly around different stellar hosts\, with distinct trends between planets orbiting hotter stars (G0V-K2V) versus cooler stars (K5V-M5V). Understanding the full context of the planetary atmosphere will be key for interpreting emission spectral features of biosignature gases. \nFecha: 14/11/2024 – 12:30Conferenciante: Dr. Thea KozakisFiliación: IAA-CSIC\, Granada\, Spain

SUMMARY:SO Colloquium: The tidal arms of open star clusters are much longer than thought\, but more difficult to find
DESCRIPTION:The tidal arms of stellar clusters are an important tool for studying the clusters’ birth conditions\, their evolution\, coupling\, and interaction with the Galactic potential. They also help understand how field stars populate the Milky Way. Thanks to Gaia\, much progress has been accomplished in finding the tidal arms of open clusters. I will show here that such arms are much longer than previously observed\, and that their identification requires not only a sophisticated analysis of the Gaia catalogue\, using the convergent point method and clustering algorithms\, but ideally\, the use of N-body simulations and the new compact convergent point method. I will highlight recent results about the arms of several open clusters\, which extend over several hundreds of parsecs. \nFecha: 07/11/2024 – 12:30Conferenciante: Dr. Henri BoffinFiliación: European Southern Observatory

SUMMARY:Writing and Communicating your Science
DESCRIPTION:There is no science without communication and no successful scientists without good writing and communication skills. You can do the best science that exists\, if you don’t write papers about it – papers that get cited! ­– and if you don’t give presentations that impress people\, your science will likely be ignored. Moreover\, if you do not write convincing proposals that appeal to non-specialists\, you won’t get observing time\, nor the coveted post-doc position and certainly not the very competitive but needed grants to fund your research. Finally\, as a scientist\, it is your duty and privilege to communicate your science to the general public\, policy makers and the media\, and like all the rest\, this is something that needs to be learned.  \nThis course is an introduction about how to get your message across in the various supports you need to use as a scientist. It is aimed are junior scientists who are writing their first papers\, but will also be helpful for colleagues with more experience. The skills learned in this course will be more generally applicable as well\, whether or not you not plan to build a further career as an academic. \nThe course will be split in five sessions combining two hours of lectures and 1.5 hours of exercises. During the course and the exercises\, you will refer to your own writing when we discuss items like title\, abstract\, introduction\, or paragraph and sentence structure\, so bring with you your latest paper\, whether in early draft form or submitted to a journal.

SUMMARY:Impacto de los Metales Antropogénicos en la Atmósfera: Desafíos y Estrategias en la Era de las Megaconstelaciones
DESCRIPTION:En las próximas décadas se espera un incremento significativo en el número de satélites en la órbita baja terrestre\, principalmente impulsado por el crecimiento de las megaconstelaciones de telecomunicaciones de banda ancha. La estrategia de ‘cero residuos’ de las agencias espaciales busca evitar la generación de grandes cantidades de basura espacial mediante la desintegración programada de vehículos usados y satélites inactivos en la atmósfera terrestre. Sin embargo\, esta estrategia ha suscitado inquietudes en la comunidad científica por los posibles impactos ambientales de los metales inyectados en la atmósfera\, especialmente sobre la capa de ozono estratosférico. De hecho\, mediciones recientes revelan que el 10% de las partículas de sulfato estratosférico ya contienen metales exóticos utilizados por la industria aeroespacial. \nEn esta charla repasaremos las proyecciones de reentrada de vehículos espaciales en la atmósfera durante la próxima década\, la estrategia de reducción de residuos propuesta por la Agencia Espacial Europea\, y el previsible aumento en la inyección de metales en la atmósfera\, tanto en forma gaseosa como de micropartículas. Además\, exploraremos los potenciales efectos químicos de los metales antropogénicos en la mesosfera y estratosfera\, utilizando como referencia la química de los metales meteóricos\, que están presentes de manera natural en la atmósfera y generan una sorprendente variedad de fenómenos atmosféricos. Finalmente\, destacaremos cómo la investigación experimental puede orientar a las agencias y a la industria aeroespacial en la mejora de sus estrategias y la mitigación de sus impactos. \nFecha: 31/10/2024 – 19:00Conferenciante: Juan Carlos Gómez MartínFiliación: Cosmic Dust Laboratory – Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) \n

SUMMARY:Using CHEOPS to confirm small transiting exoplanets orbiting bright stars
DESCRIPTION:Exoplanets which transit their host stars are unique in allowing detailed characterisation of planetary radius\, mass and atmospheric properties. NASA’s TESS mission\, which has so far observed 97% of the sky with precise photometry\, is especially adept at detecting small transiting planets orbiting the brightest & closest stars. It is these for which the most precise bulk characterisation\, for example of the planetary masses via the radial velocity (RV) technique\, and atmospheric characterisation via transmission spectroscopy with JWST observations. However\, the limited precision and noncontinuous observing strategy of TESS means it is unable to find the smallest or longest period planets. ESA’s CHEOPS mission is a 30cm space telescope launched to near earth orbit in 2019 and capable of precise photometry of bright stars. I will present multiple avenues whereby we have used CHEOPS observations to confirm new transiting exoplanets. This includes confirming low-amplitude TESS candidate planets in the HIP 29442 system\, serendipitous detection of additional planets in the nu2 Lupi\, HD 108236 & LHS 1903 systems\, and RV-assisted transit detections in the TOI-561 system. The most productive approach has been to target candidates showing two non-continuous TESS transits. This has lead to around 20 newly detected sub-Neptunes on long periods\, including in multi-planet systems such as TOI-2076\, HIP 9618\, and the resonant 6-planet system HD110067. \nFecha: 31/10/2024 – 12:30Conferenciante: Dr. Hugh OsbornFiliación: Physics Institute\, University of Bern & Institute for Particle & Astrophysics\, ETH Zurich

SUMMARY:PySnacks 8: PyBDSF
DESCRIPTION:The Python Blob Detector and Source Finder (PyBDSF) is a CASA-based software designed for source detection in radio-interferometric images. Originally developed for the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR)\, PyBDSF is designed to work on a wide range of scales\, cataloguing different types of sources and allowing post-extraction filtering depending on the user’s scientific purposes. PyBDSF works on images produced by any radio-interferometer. In short\, PyBDSF loads the image in fits or CASA format\, computes some basic image statistics (rms and mean)\, and calculates a threshold to separate source from noise pixels with different algorithms that can be chosen by the user. Then\, the program identifies islands of emission which are fitted with one or multiple Gaussians. The resulting source catalogue\, which can be written into different formats (ascii\, fits\, txt\,…) for subsequent analysis\, provides key source properties such as astrometry\, integrated and peak fluxes\, source geometry\, etc. In addition\, internally derived images (rms noise maps\, Gaussian residual and models\, etc) are written in commonly used formats (fits or CASA) if specified by the user. It is possible to work with PyBDSF interactively in a terminal\, or via Python scripts or notebooks. PyBDSF can work with all Stokes parameters and compute the polarisation percentage and angle for each source. Also\, PyBDSF can compute the spectral indices of both extended and unresolved sources provided a frequency cube is input. Finally\, PyBDSF can estimate the PSF spatial variation across the image and correct it. This is of special interest for low frequency observations (such as those of LOFAR) which are more prominently affected by ionospheric effects.

SUMMARY:SO Colloquium: Radio eyes for the Sun\, Heliosphere and Ionosphere: Status and plans for the SKAO era
DESCRIPTION:We stand on the brink of the SKAO era\, this talk aims to elucidate the transformative potential of SKAO for solar physics\, heliospheric\, and ionospheric research. The SKAO’s advanced radio telescopes\, with their superior angular\, spectral\, and temporal resolution\, are poised to offer new insights into solar activity and its effects on the heliosphere and ionosphere. The deployment of SKAO’s facilities\, including the pathfinders LOFAR\, MWA\, and MeerKAT\, marks a significant advancement in our ability to monitor solar phenomena and their interactions with the heliosphere and ionosphere. These instruments have already begun to enhance our capabilities for detailed observations and will continue to do so as part of the SKAO network. The integration of these pathfinders with SKAO’s infrastructure is expected to improve our understanding of the solar dynamics by enabling high-resolution imaging of solar flares\, coronal mass ejections\, and other solar events that influence space weather. Furthermore\, the SKAO’s design considerations for ionospheric calibration and its potential for heliospheric science underscore its role in advancing our knowledge of cosmic ray transport and the structure of the heliosphere. This is crucial for improving models of space weather forecasting and understanding the solar-terrestrial interactions that affect our planet’s environment. In summary\, the SKAO provides an unparalleled opportunity to explore the Sun\, heliosphere\, and ionosphere with a level of detail previously unattainable. This talk will discuss the current status of these research areas and outline the future plans for exploiting SKAO’s full scientific potential\, thereby ushering in a new era of discovery in solar and space sciences. \nFecha: 17/10/2024 – 12:30Conferenciante: Dr. Pietro ZuccaFiliación: ASTRON\, The Netherlands

SUMMARY:El Universo desde Sevilla III
DESCRIPTION:«El Universo desde Sevilla» llega a su tercera edición como un programa de conferencias para la difusión de la Astrofísica y Ciencias del Espacio de especialistas de Sevilla.  \nEs una contribución del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) y en particular del Museo Casa de la Ciencia (CSIC) de Sevilla. El fin es destacar el potencial científico-tecnológico-empresarial que tiene Sevilla y Andalucía en el área aeroespacial. \nEsta iniciativa\, que se desarrollará con tres ponencias durante los meses de octubre y noviembre\, está coordinada por el investigador del Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) Emilio J. Alfaro Navarro. \nEl programa es el siguiente:  \n10 de octubre de 2024. «El Sol desde el espacio»  \nJose Carlos del Toro Iniesta (IAA-CSIC) \nEl Sol es nuestra estrella más cercana y\, además de proporcionar la energía necesaria para la vida\, es un laboratorio que nos aporta información sobre el resto de estrellas y otras ramas de la física como la atómica. Se observa desde tiempos inmemoriales\, pero ahora podemos hacerlo desde el espacio abriendo una ventana de conocimiento que no era accesible desde la Tierra. \n \n7 de noviembre de 2024. «Entre lo visible y lo invisible: Materia y energía oscuras»  \nJosé Oñorbe Bernis (US) \nEn el modelo cosmológico estándar actual sólo el 5% del universo está hecho de materia ordinaria\, como los átomos que forman las estrellas\, los planetas\, y nosotros. El resto del universo es oscuro y desconocido\, compuesto de materia y energía oscuras. ¿Qué son estas componentes oscuras? ¿Por qué parecen ser tan relevantes en nuestro Universo? En esta conferencia intentaremos contestar a estas preguntas y hablaremos de las observaciones clave que han dado lugar a este modelo. Además discutiré sobre otras interpretaciones fuera del modelo estándar y por supuesto\, habrá mucho tiempo para contestar vuestras preguntas. \n \n21 de noviembre de 2024. «Los polvos del universo: polvo cósmico y COVID»   \nOlga Muñoz Gómez (IAA-CSIC) \nOlga Muñoz\, directora del Laboratorio de Polvo Cósmico\, Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA)\, nos hablará sobre que el polvo cósmico es lo que conocemos como polvo de estrellas\, el que se forma en la nube de gas en expansión en una estrella y es el polvo a partir del cual se forman todos los cuerpos que conocemos en el universo.

SUMMARY:Uncovering the magnetized path of massive star formation
DESCRIPTION:Both observational and theoretical studies suggest that the magnetic field plays an important role in the process of massive star and cluster formation. However\, many open questions still remain\, including the exact role of B-field at the different scales (from cloud to disk scales) and its importance compared to turbulence\, feedback and self-gravity. Multi-scale studies of the morphology and strength of the magnetic field are thus crucial to properly unveil the role of the magnetic field in the formation of high-mass stars. In this talk\, I will mainly focus on the multi-scale study of the magnetic field toward the high-mass star-forming region G31.41+0.31 carried out with both single-dish and interferometric observations of polarized dust emission. G31.41+0.31 is one of the most studied objects in polarized emission and the first high-mass star-forming core to show an hourglass-shaped magnetic field morphology. Finally\, I will also present three on-going observational campaigns that will allow us to further constrain the role of the magnetic field in massive star formation and to construct a multi-scale magnetized path of massive star formation. \nFecha: 10/10/2024 – 12:30Conferenciante: Dr. Chi Yan (Paul) LawFiliación: INAF – Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri\, Italy

SUMMARY:SO Colloquium: The next generation of milliarcsecond surveys with SKA-VLBI
DESCRIPTION:Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI)\, using both SKA-Low and SKA-Mid\, is poised to deliver groundbreaking observations with milliarcsecond resolution\, surpassing the capabilities of the standard SKA array. VLBI in conjunction with the SKA holds the promise of unlocking profound insights across various astrophysical topics and science working groups. \nVLBI with the SKA stands to revolutionise our understanding of galaxy evolution and the physics of jet accretion by studying Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) at low luminosities. Moreover\, it is poised to make significant contributions to cosmology\, through constraining dark energy and dark matter via gravitational lenses and the study of nuclear water masers. The exploration of the stellar lifecycle\, including the temporal evolution of supernova remnants\, plus the rapid follow-up of transients (e.g.\, localising FRBs and tidal disruption events) adds another dimension to the diverse range of science that can be investigated by VLBI with the SKA. \nSKA-VLBI is set to offer unparalleled astrometric observations capable of measuring proper motions and parallaxes of galactic objects. This capability opens the door to mapping the structure of our Galaxy and testing gravity within binary systems. This overview highlights just a subset of the topics that will be addressed in this presentation\, where I will delve into the scientific achievements achievable through VLBI with the SKA and elucidate the operational aspects of SKA-VLBI. \nFecha: 03/10/2024 – 12:30Conferenciante: Dr. Jack RadcliffeFiliación: University of Pretoria\, South Africa

SUMMARY:The stellar distribution in ultra-faint dwarf galaxies suggests deviations from the collisionless cold dark matter paradigm
DESCRIPTION:Unraveling the nature of dark matter (DM) stands as a primary objective in modern physics. I will present evidence suggesting deviations from the collisionless Cold DM (CDM) paradigm. In the standard cosmological model the dark matter (DM) particles are collisionless and\, because of this very nature\, they develop halos with the characteristic central cusp known as NFW profile. Real galaxies do not show NFW profiles but\, rather\, have a DM mass distribution with a central plateau or core\, characteristic of self-gravitating systems in thermodynamic equilibrium. Within the standard model\, the collisionless DM reaches equilibrium through baryon-driven processes able to transform the overall potential from cusp to core. Such mechanism becomes inoperative for galaxies with few stars (stellar mass <1e6 Msun)\, thus\, finding cores in these low-mass galaxies would indicate that the DM is not collisionless\, reflecting the much sought-after and currently unknown true nature of the DM (whether it is fuzzy\, self-interacting\, warm\, or else). Measuring the DM distribution in tiny galaxies through traditional dynamical indicators is impossible\, but we have developed a tool to constrain the distribution of DM from the stellar photometry alone. We have used the tool to analyze the stellar cores observed in 6 Ultra Faint Dwarf (UFD) galaxies with stellar masses between 1e3 and 1e4 Msun. They do not live in a NFW potential. Other conceivable explanations for the observed cores are disfavored by simulations and/or observations. Thus\, the evidence suggests that collisions among DM particles or other alternatives to CDM are likely shaping these galaxies. \nFecha: 26/09/2024 – 11:00Conferenciante: Dr. Jorge Sánchez AlmeidaFiliación: Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias\, España

SUMMARY:Constraining the Meteoroid Flux in the inner solar system
DESCRIPTION:​The inner solar system is populated by Interplanetary Dust Particles (IDPs) released from cometary trails and collisions between asteroids. Planetary bodies and satellites therefore encounter a cloud of IDPs along their orbits\, giving rise to a permanent bombardment on their respective atmospheres or surfaces. Constraining the magnitude of the mass influx of IDPs onto a solar system body is crucial for understanding the effects in their atmospheres and on their surfaces. \nFor planetary bodies with atmospheres\, collisions with air molecules lead to the thermal ablation of IDPs above their melting temperature and\, therefore\, their constituent elements evaporate and produce layers of free neutral and ionized atoms\, being Mg\, Fe\, Si\, and Na the major metallic species. Metallic layers in the Earth’s atmosphere have been widely studied for decades using ground-based lidar and space-based optical spectroscopy. In the case of Mars\, the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph (IUVS) reported the first detection of a persistent Mg+ layer in Mars’ atmosphere peaking around 90 km. \nIn this talk\, firstly I will review the most relevant modelling results for the meteoroid mass influx at the Earth\, Mars\, and Venus. Second\, I will discuss the results of the most recent state-of-the-art models able to provide a comprehensive description of the meteoroid impacts accounting for the temporal\, latitudinal\, and seasonal distributions of the main meteoroid populations in the inner solar system. \nFecha: 24/09/2024 – 12:30Conferenciante: Dr. Juan Diego Carrillo SánchezFiliación: NASA Goddard\, US

SUMMARY:The QUIJOTE experiment: status\, latest results and future plans
DESCRIPTION:Iwill review the current status and future plans of the QUIJOTE (Q-U-I JOint TEnerife) experiment\, a project with the aim of characterising the polarisation of the Cosmic Microwave Background\, and other galactic or extragalactic physical processes that emit in microwaves in the frequency range 10-42GHz\, and at large angular scales (1 degree resolution). The project has two radio telescopes (2.25m primary aperture) and three instruments\, MFI (10-20GHz)\, TFGI (30-40GHz) and MFI2 (10-20GHz). \nIn relation to MFI\, which observed the sky from 2012 to 2018 at 11\, 13\, 17 and 19GHz\, I will review the scientific results associated with the characterization of the polarized foreground emissions in the northern sky\, with special emphasis on the synchrotron and AME components. These results have been presented in a series of papers between 2023 and 2024. \nI will also present status of the other two instruments\, TFGI (30-40GHz) and MFI2 (10-20GHz). TFGI started operations in 2021 with 7 detectors\, and will resume observations with 19 detectors this summer. Preliminary results from the period 2021-2022 will be discussed. MFI2 has started the commissioning phase in March 2024. I will present the first light results and commissioning data. Finally\, I will describe the plans for developing a 90GHz camera for QUIJOTE. \nFecha: 23/07/2024 – 12:30Conferenciante: Dr. José Alberto Rubiño MartínFiliación: Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias\, Spain

SUMMARY:XVI Reunión Científica de la Sociedad Española de Astronomía
DESCRIPTION:La XVI Reunión Científica de la SEA se celebrará en Granada entre el 15 y el 19 de julio de 2024\, organizada conjuntamente con el Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC). \nComo novedad\, en esta ocasión se ofrecerá la posibilidad de organizar pequeños simposios temáticos en el seno de la reunión científica. La idea es dotar al encuentro de una estructura más ágil y menos monolítica\, de modo que los diferentes grupos puedan beneficiarse de una organización de base para compartir ciencia sobre temas de vanguardia que en algunos casos pueden ser transversales. \nEl objetivo principal de las reuniones científicas de la SEA\, además de servir de foro de contacto para toda nuestra comunidad\, es ofrecer a los jóvenes de distintos institutos y universidades un punto de reunión en un entorno amistoso pero científicamente riguroso. Por ello\, como en otras ocasiones\, pondremos especial énfasis en fomentar la participación de nuestras/os júniors y ofreceremos condiciones ventajosas para su matrícula. \nLa Reunión Científica tendrá lugar en Parque de las Ciencias de Andalucía\, un museo interactivo de ciencia de 70.000 m2\, situado a escasos minutos a pie del centro histórico de Granada y bien comunicado por transporte público.

SUMMARY:Dust in protoplanetary disks\, (still) that great unknown
DESCRIPTION:Planetary systems are a side effect in the formation of a star. Planets are believed to be just simply the last remaining of dusty circumstellar disks which is formed around the protostar at very early stages. Thus\, understanding how planets are formed requires to understand how dust evolve in these disks. It is less than ten years that we have the possibility of mapping the dust distribution in protoplanetary disks with great detail with powerful radio interferometers such as the VLA and ALMA. We were highly surprised by the first images showing a rich diversity of substructures in the disk distribution\, consequence or initial stages of forming planets. We have already mapped hundreds of disks in different regions and we are now proposing different paths in the evolution of disks that will end in very different planetary systems. We are stating to understand the importance of ice lines in the formation of planetesimals. But\, probably the most surprising result is the realization that we ignorance about the internal structure of the dust grains prevent us of obtaining basic properties of the dust such as their mass or size. In this talk\, I will summarize how we arrived to this point and how we can unlock this situation. \nFecha: 11/07/2024 – 12:30Conferenciante: Carlos Carrasco GonzálezFiliación: UNAM\, Mexico \n

SUMMARY:Más allá del sistema solar: el fascinante universo de los exoplanetas
DESCRIPTION:La búsqueda de exoplanetas\, aquellos planetas que están fuera de nuestro sistema solar\, ha revolucionado nuestra comprensión del universo y de nuestro lugar en él. Desde el descubrimiento del primer exoplaneta orbitando una estrella tipo solar en 1995\, la astronomía ha experimentado un renacimiento tecnológico y teórico que ha permitido identificar miles de estos mundos alienígenas. \nEn esta charla\, exploraremos el fascinante campo de la detección y estudio de exoplanetas\, abarcando las técnicas utilizadas\, la diversidad de planetas descubiertos y los proyectos clave que han impulsado\, y siguen impulsando\, esta revolución científica. \nTambién revisaremos algunos de los descubrimientos más asombrosos que se han hecho recientemente\, como el planeta WASP-193b\, un planeta tan ligero como el algodón de azúcar que desafía nuestro conocimiento sobre cómo se forman los sistemas planetarios\, o SPECULOOS-3b\, un planeta tipo Tierra que nos permitirá\, por primera vez\, explorar la composición de las superficies de estos lejanos mundos. \nFecha: 27/06/2024 – 19:00Conferenciante: Francisco PozuelosFiliación: Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) \n

SUMMARY:Multiple components in the protostellar system HH 212: Infalling envelope\, nested shell\, MHD disk winds\, and free wind gas
DESCRIPTION:I will present the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array Band 7 observations at ~24 au spatial resolution of the CO (J=3-2) and H13CO molecular lines emission of the protostellar system HH 212 and compare them with the emission of the SiO (J=8-7) and SO (J=8-7) molecular lines. From the large to small scale\, previous observations have detected the infalling envelope\, CO outflow shell\, SO disk wind\, SiO expanding shell and jet in the system. By comparing these components\, we find that the CO molecular line traces four different regions of the system: (1) the external nested shell\, (2) the wide-angle magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) disk winds\, (3) free wind gas inside the expanding SiO shell\, and (4) the protostellar jet. The origin of the CO external nested shell could be associated with the entrained material of the envelope either by the jet-driven bow shocks or by an outflowing gas launched from the central star or the accretion disk. As found in a previous SO study\, the wide-angle MHD disk winds are launched directly from the accretion disk from a region of Rlaunch~4-8 au  and with a magnetic lever arm  3.5-4.5. The CO free wind gas inside the expanding SiO shell could be associated with material ejected directly from the accretion disk. \nFecha: 27/06/2024 – 12:30Conferenciante: Dr. Alejandro López-VázquezFiliación: Academia Sinica\, Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics\, Taipei\, Taiwan \n

SUMMARY:Intersexionality\, a key work for diversity?
DESCRIPTION:Since we are children we have been taught what we are and we learn how to fit into a set of infinite boxes. Each of these boxes defines us and\, at the same time\, can be used to discriminate against us\, in life and at work. Diversity exists and it could be an advantage for our society. As scientists we should understand how to take care of diversity and use it to improve our work and life quality. One of the main problems in the past has been that humankind tried to build a rank of «important differences» which led to discrimination\, ending up discriminating among differences. In the last decade\, gender studies’ idea of intersectionality has become popular and this has affected the way by which many of us are now looking at EDI activities. \nIn this talk I will provide some background on EDI\, then\, I will discuss success and failures of the EDI activities I have been part of to stimulate a discussion about the best way to improve our working environment. \nFecha: 25/06/2024 – 11:00Conferenciante: Dr. Eleonora FiorellinoFiliación: INAF – Osservatorio Astronomico Capodimonte Napoli\, Italy \n
