SUMMARY:Unveiling Water Vapor Transport in the Martian Atmosphere: Unexpected discoveries by NOMAD/TGO
DESCRIPTION:Water is a key component of planetary atmospheres\, shaping their climate and habitability. On Earth\, Venus or Mars\, water vapor drives their atmospheric chemistry\, and serves as a crucial indicator for potential habitability. Understanding its transport\, condensation/sublimation\, and loss to space is essential for planetary evolution. In this context\, Mars offers a compelling case. Despite its current cold and dry state\, geological evidence suggests a wetter past. Today\, on Mars\, water vapor exists in trace amounts but plays a crucial role in many chemical and radiative processes. \nUntil recently\, knowledge of the vertical distribution of water vapor was limited to models and column density estimates. With the advent of the Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO)\, it has become possible to systematically probe the Martian atmosphere using the solar occultation technique. Already well established on Earth\, solar occultations provide detailed information on both the geographic and vertical distribution of trace species such as water vapor.TBD \nFecha y lugar: 09/10/2025 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosAdrián BrinesInstituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:IAU Symposium - The Hidden Beauty of the Galactic Outskirts
DESCRIPTION:The IAU Symposium ‘The Hidden Beauty of the Galactic Outskirts’ aims to bring together experts in galaxy formation and evolution to discuss the latest research\, challenges\, and future directions in the field. The symposium will take place in the historic city of Córdoba\, Spain\, from October 6-10\, 2025. \nCórdoba\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site\, offers a rich cultural and historical backdrop for this prestigious event. Participants will have the opportunity to explore the city’s stunning architecture\, including the famous Mosque-Cathedral\, and enjoy its vibrant cultural scene. The symposium will provide a platform for scientists to share their latest findings\, foster new collaborations\, and inspire future research. \nThe event is expected to attract around 150 participants from various countries\, creating a diverse and dynamic environment for knowledge exchange. Sessions will cover a wide range of topics\, from tidal streams and the disruption of satellite galaxies to the role of dark matter in galaxy formation. With a programme designed to encourage in-depth discussions and collaborative opportunities\, this symposium promises to be a milestone event in the field. \n  \n \n  \nAbstract:  \nThe Golden Age for low surface brightness Universe studies has begun. Data from the many ongoing and future ground-based surveys like DESI\, LSST\, and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory\, and space missions like Euclid or ARRAKIHS (First Spanish-led ESA mission)\, will open the door to discoveries on the history of formation and evolution of galaxies and\, most probably\, to constrain the nature of Dark Matter. \nThese data allow researchers to test models of galaxy formation that remained theoretical for many years. Studying the formation of galaxies through the analysis of faint structures in local galaxies’ outskirts can shed some light on the process of galaxy assembly and on the nature of the matter that rules the gravitational collapse of early Universe structures\, the dark matter. \nThis symposium will bring together experts on galaxy formation and evolution to identify current challenges in this research field\, report recent results and discoveries\, and define future science avenues. The main objective is to enrich the current ongoing discussions on the interpretation of the new data\, to detect synergies among research groups\, and to trigger the forging of new international collaborations. \n

SUMMARY:Reducing the Uncertainty on the Hubble Constant up to 35% with an Improved Statistical Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Reducing the Uncertainty on the Hubble Constant up to 35% with an Improved Statistical Analysis: Different Best-fit Likelihoods for Type Ia Supernovae\, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations\, Quasars\, and Gamma-Ray Bursts \nCosmological models and their parameters are widely debated\, especially about whether the current discrepancy between the values of the Hubble constant\, H 0\, obtained by Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and the Planck data from the cosmic microwave background radiation could be alleviated when alternative cosmological models are considered. Thus\, combining high-redshift probes\, such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and quasi-stellar objects (QSOs\, or quasars)\, together with baryon acoustic oscillations and SNe Ia is important to assess the viability of these alternative models and whether they can cast further light on the Hubble tension. \nIn this work\, for GRBs\, we use a three-dimensional relation between the peak prompt luminosity\, the rest-frame time at the end of the X-ray plateau\, and its corresponding luminosity in X-rays: the 3D Dainotti fundamental plane relation. Regarding QSOs\, we use the Risaliti-Lusso relation among the UV and X-ray luminosities for a sample of 2421 sources. We correct both the QSO and GRB relations by accounting for selection and evolutionary effects with a reliable statistical method. We here use both the traditional Gaussian likelihoods ( LG ) and the new best-fit likelihoods ( LN ) to infer cosmological parameters of nonflat Lambda cold dark matter (LambdaCDM) and flat wCDM models. We obtain for all the parameters reduced uncertainties\, up to 35% for H0\, when applying the new LN likelihoods in place of the Gaussian ones. \nOur results remain consistent with a flat LambdaCDM model\, although with a shift of the dark energy parameter w toward w < -1 and a curvature density parameter toward Omega k < 0. \nFecha y lugar: 03/10/2025 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosMaria Giovanna DainottiNational Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) \n  \n

SUMMARY:SO Colloquium: Magnetic fields on Extrasolar Planets: From Radio Emission to High-Energy Cosmic Rays
DESCRIPTION:Event though there is no firm evidence for their presence to date\, a considerable fraction of extrasolar planets are expected to host a magnetic field. At the same time\, the planetary magnetic field plays an important role in the evolution of a planet\, determining the protection of its atmosphere against the stellar wind\, against stellar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and against cosmic rays. In view of the importance of exoplanetary magnetic fields\, various attempts have been undertaken in order to predict their intensity. We will present different models for planetary magnetic fields and compare their results. We will also present a number of methods that have been suggested for the observations of exoplanetary magnetic fields\, the most promising of which is the detection of planetary radio emission. We will also discuss the implications of the magnetic field on the planetary atmosphere via the effect of high-energy cosmic rays. \nFecha y lugar: 30/09/2025 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosDr. Jean-Mathias GriessmeierObservatorio del Radiotelescopio de Nançay\, Francia \n

SUMMARY:Programación Controladores Beckhof
DESCRIPTION:Los Controladores Lógicos Programables (PLCs) de la empresa Beckhoff son muy usados en la actualidad en muchos campos de la ingeniería industrial. Entre ellos\, en el área de la instrumentación para astronomía\, ya que el Observatorio Europeo Austral (ESO) los adoptó hace años como estándar para los sistemas de control de la instrumentación desarrollada para sus telescopios. Sus componentes principales son los PLCs basados en PCs\, también conocidos como soft-PLCs\, pero Beckhoff cuenta con un amplio catálogo de productos\, tales como paneles de control táctil\, tarjetas de entradas/salidas digitales y analógicas o fuentes de alimentación\, que permiten desarrollar sistemas de control de subsistemas o instrumentos completos a partir de un diseño modular. \nA día de hoy\, tres de los proyectos de instrumentación en curso en los que la UDIT participa (MOSAIC\, TARSIS\, PACOO) están basados en controladores Beckhoff\, lo que implica la necesidad de formación del personal encargado de su programación\, configuración y desarrollo. En años anteriores ya se celebró un curso de iniciación a la programación en entorno Beckhoff (2019) y otro más específico para el control de motores (2021). El curso que se propone ahora está enfocado en otros aspectos más especializados en el desarrollo de este tipo de sistemas\, tales como el uso de módulos de la familia TwinSafe\, que se centran en la redundancia y seguridad\, o la programación de dispositivos táctiles para la visualización y el control.»

SUMMARY:SO Colloquium: Dark and Quiet Skies: Challenges and Actions
DESCRIPTION:This is the term coined at the first international conference to address the growing threat of satellite megaconstellations. Astronomy requires a dark sky\, free from pollutants and radiation. In the best astronomical sites\, regulations are already being implemented to protect observational science. In Spain\, we were—and continue to be—pioneers in “sky protection” laws. \nThe uncontrolled development of space technology is confronting us with a new challenge: how to regulate the use of “Outer Space\,” a term referring to the region above approximately 100 km\, which does not fall under the jurisdiction of individual states. While the issue of local light pollution remains unresolved\, we now face the additional threat of contamination from the increasing number of satellites being launched and the radio emissions they use to communicate with Earth. \nThis debate has reached the United Nations\, the only body capable of providing global guidelines. Alongside the protection of science\, other key aspects are also at stake: culture\, health\, the environment\, and space security. Progress is more likely if we build arguments that include all these perspectives. For this reason\, it is essential to deepen the discussion and develop a sound strategy soon. \nFecha y lugar: 25/09/2025 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosCasiana Muñoz TuñónInstituto de Astrofísica de Canarias – IAC \n

SUMMARY:Extending Multi‑Wavelength Science to the Frontiers of the Electromagnetic Spectrum: Low‑Frequency Radio Astronomy
DESCRIPTION:Etienne Bonnassieux (SO postdoc\, IAA-CSIC) IAA-CSIC\, Salón de Actos 17 Sept 2025\, 10-13h \nRadio astronomy is in the midst of a renaissance. Facilities such as LOFAR\, the uGMRT and MeerKAT —pathfinders for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA)— are revealing the low‑frequency (MHz / metre wavelength regime) sky with unprecedented fidelity. Their discoveries arrive just as other game‑changing observatories (e.g. the ELT and CTAO) come online\, creating a uniquely rich multi‑wavelength landscape.This workshop opens with a concise primer on radio astronomy before focusing on the science unlocked at tens to hundreds of MHz: from solar eruptive events and pulsar searches to the physics of jets\, extragalactic star formation\, galaxy clusters and the Cosmic Dawn.

SUMMARY:Unveiling the transport of Galactic cosmic rays with diffuse γ-rays and neutrinos at the highest energies
DESCRIPTION:The Tibet-ASγ and LHAASO collaborations recently provided the first evidence of diffuse γ-ray emission from the Galactic plane up to the PeV range. Due to the challenges this poses to current theoretical models\, it is crucial to carefully study different scenarios of diffuse γ-ray production\, specially towards the centre of the Galaxy. Moreover\, IceCube achieved the first measurements of the neutrino emission from the Galactic plane\, offering a complementary tool to study the distribution of Galactic cosmic rays up to the knee. Remarkably\, these observations provide a unique tool to study the origin of the most energetic Galactic cosmic rays\, the propagation of these particles in different regions of the Galaxy and their composition. \nIn this talk\, I’ll discuss how measurements of the gamma-ray and neutrino diffuse emissions are correlated to the production and transport of cosmic rays in the Galaxy and what the implications of these recent observations are in our theoretical models. In particular\, I’ll show that current observations are compatible with the expected emission from diffuse cosmic rays\, with unresolved sources playing a subdominant role\, and the first hints that seem to favor scenarios of non-uniform propagation of cosmic rays in the Galaxy. \nFecha: 10/09/2025 – 12:30Pedro de la Torre LuqueInstituto de Física Teórica UAM-CSIC \n  \n

SUMMARY:The assembly process of star clusters: ALMA-IMF protoclusters traced by N2H+
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I focus on the analysis of two of ALMA-IMF Large program protoclusters\, the G353.41 and the G351.77\, located at a distance of ∼2 kpc and with masses ∼2.5×10^3 M⊙ within 2pc^2 \, and both embedded in larger-scale (∼8 pc) «mother filaments». We analyze the dense gas kinematics a 4 kau resolution traced by N2H+ (1−0). Focusing on G353\, and from position-velocity (PV) diagrams we suggest that at large scales (~1 pc) the protocluster is undergoing slow gravitational. On small scales (~0.1 pc) we find multiple «V-shapes»\, or converging velocity gradients (VGs). These are consistent with gas flows toward «cores»\, which are small (~4 kau) condensations of mass representing the sites of formation of individual or a small number of stars. We find that V-shapes near the hub of G351 have the largest mass accretion rates in our sample (by a factor of ~77% compared to the mean)\, suggesting a faster collapse at the center relative to the outskirts. This indicates that the most massive stars are already forming at the center of the protocluster. Turning to G351\, we find similar results and the ubiquitous presence of V-shapes in the PV diagram analysis. Hence we suggest that the conditions in G353 and G351 are generic features of Milky Way disk protoclusters. Moreover we suggest that the V-shapes may represent a useful tool as an early star formation rate tracer\, although this hypothesis remains to be thoroughly tested. In more evolved protoclusters such as G012\, we witness the emergence of kinematic features consistent with rotation\, which are correlated with star formation indicators. In summary\, I highlight the power of dense gas kinematics to «pick apart» the Milky Way cluster formation process. \nFecha: 24/07/2025 – 12:30Prof. Dr. Rodrigo Alvarez GutiérrezUniversity of St Andrews\, Scotland; Universidad de Concepción\, Chile \n

SUMMARY:Using Artificial Intelligence to unveil the secrets of stars from their vibrations
DESCRIPTION:During all stages of evolution\, stars oscillate as a superposition of normal modes of certain frequencies that are indicative of their internal structures and compositions. These vibrations are visible as surface brightness fluctuations\, and have been observed by numerous telescopes. Despite the availability of an extensive sample of stars observed by the Kepler telescope\, and the anticipated influx of additional data from missions such as TESS and the forthcoming PLATO\, the full scientific exploitation of these datasets remains constrained by the conventional methods which require substantial computational time and resources for detailed analysis. \nIn this talk\, I will discuss about asteroseismology and demonstrate how we leverage advanced deep learning techniques to facilitate rapid analysis of these datasets\, especially those of post-main-sequence stars which have normal modes that enable us to investigate their interiors in significant detail\, including rotation rates and magnetic fields. \nFecha: 22/07/2025 – 12:30Shatanik BhattacharyaTata Institute of Fundamental Research\, Mumbai\, India \n

SUMMARY:A UV-to-IR view of a nearby high-z analog with JWST and HST to interpret the first galaxies
DESCRIPTION:In the current JWST era\, detailed observations of the first generation of galaxies have started to revolutionize our knowledge of the early Universe\, with outstanding but also puzzling discoveries. In particular\, high-z systems in the epoch of reionization (z>6) are generally found to be low-mass\, compact and metal-poor\, and show prominent emission lines\, indicating extreme radiation fields. However\, their properties are not trivial to be determined\, some seem to show intriguing chemical inhomogeneities and an unprecedented number of them may host massive accreting black holes (i.e.\, Active Galactic Nucleus\, AGN\, activity) already in the first billion years. Nearby blue compact dwarf galaxies such as SBS 0335-052 E share similar properties\, and thus represent the perfect local laboratories for the multi-wavelength detailed studies required to understand the properties and mechanisms driving such intriguing scenarios. In this talk\, I will show new MIRI/MRS data of SBS 0335-052 E\, mapping MIR lines (e.g.\, [NeII]\, [SIV]\, [NeIII]\, [OIV]\, [NeV])\, in combination with UV spectroscopy and imaging. These data map the ionized gas at different level of ionization and dust attenuation at sub-kpc scales in this system for the first time. Thus\, they allow us to investigate the main ionization sources of the gas (massive stars\, shocks or AGN) in this high-z analog\, revealing the presence of an extended very high ionization emission possibly due to an accreting intermediate massive black hole. Overall\, this study provides us with an extremely powerful toolkit\, pivotal for understanding the gas conditions and feedback from different ionization sources in the earliest galaxies that reionized the universe. \nFecha: 15/07/2025 – 12:30Dr. Matilde MingozziSpace Telescope Science Institute\, Baltimore\, USA \n

SUMMARY:New clues about how Mars lost its water
DESCRIPTION:I will talk about a recent study led by IAA-CSIC focused on the atmospheric H escape during high obliquity period in recent Mars (average ~35º in last millions of years). Observations show that current thermal H escape (major water loss process) varies seasonally\, with considerable increases during dust storms of both  water abundance in the upper atmosphere and H escape rate. Present H-loss rates agree with 3D simulations by the Mars Planetary Climate Model used in this study\, varying with season between 1-11 x1026 atoms/s. However\, if we apply current escape rates to Mars’ entire history\, those values cannot fully explain the large volumes of ancient surface water suggested by several geological and mineralogical observatios. \nOur simulations with an obliquity of 35º indicate that the H escape rate could have been up to 20 times larger than today. The accumulated H loss over Mars history would translate into ~80 m Global Equivalent Layer\, aligning with the lower range of geological estimates and highlighting atmospheric H loss as a key factor in Mars’ desiccation. \nFecha: 03/07/2025 – 12:30Dr. Gabriella GilliIAA-CSIC \n

SUMMARY:¿Estamos solos en el universo? En busca de mundos habitables más allá del Sistema Solar
DESCRIPTION:Desde el descubrimiento del primer exoplaneta en 1995\, la búsqueda de mundos más allá de nuestro Sistema Solar se ha consolidado como una de las áreas más fascinantes y dinámicas de la astrofísica moderna. En menos de tres décadas\, hemos pasado de conocer solo los ocho planetas que orbitan alrededor del Sol a catalogar casi 6000 exoplanetas\, muchos de ellos tan extraños que desafían nuestras ideas sobre cómo se forman y evolucionan los sistemas planetarios. \nEste avance vertiginoso nos obliga a replantearnos algunas de las grandes preguntas de la humanidad: ¿qué tan comunes son los planetas parecidos a la Tierra? ¿Existen mundos donde pueda surgir la vida? ¿Somos realmente únicos en el universo? \nEn esta charla exploraremos cómo detectamos y estudiamos estos planetas lejanos\, qué pistas nos ofrecen sobre su potencial para albergar vida\, y repasaremos algunos de los resultados más sorprendentes y controvertidos publicados recientemente. Además\, presentaremos varios de los proyectos en los que trabajamos en el Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía-CSIC (Granada)\, donde buscamos planetas que podrían ser habitables y\, quién sabe\, tal vez\, algún día\, encontrar señales de vida más allá de la Tierra. \nFecha: 26/06/2025 – 19:00Conferenciante: Francisco PozuelosFiliación: Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) \n

SUMMARY:International Summer School on Advanced Black Hole Physics 'Tales of Black Holes'
DESCRIPTION:Black holes are among the most fascinating objects in the universe. From cosmological scales\, galactic and stellar scales where black holes are integral pieces in the formation and evolution of different structures\, to microscopic scales in which 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 require 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 is a beautiful complex of gardens and water features facing 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			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tales of Black Holes\nInternational Summer School onAdvanced Black Hole Physics \nCarmen de la VictoriaCuesta del Chapiz 9\, 18010 Granada \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Organizers\nRaúl Carballo-Rubio (IAA-CSIC)Javier Olmedo (UGR)Carlos Barceló (IAA-CSIC)Mar Bastero Gil (UGR)Miguel Sánchez Portal (IRAM)

SUMMARY:SO Colloquium: The multiple aspects of Star-Planet Interactions
DESCRIPTION:Star-Planet Interactions (SPIs) encompass a range of physical processes that occur in close-in exoplanetary systems\, where the proximity between a star and its planet leads to complex magnetic\, gravitational\, and atmospheric effects. These interactions can influence both stellar activity and planetary evolution\, making them crucial to our understanding of exoplanetary environments\, habitability\, and observational signatures across multiple wavelengths. One key aspect of SPIs is their impact on the magnetic activity of the host star. Close-in planets\, particularly those orbiting magnetically active stars\, can modify the star’s magnetosphere\, potentially enhancing or suppressing stellar activity through mechanisms such as magnetic reconnection or tidal interactions. This could lead to observable changes in stellar spots\, flares\, and coronal mass ejections\, affecting not only the planet itself but also the broader space weather conditions of the system. On the planetary side\, interactions with the stellar magnetic field and wind can generate radio emissions\, providing a potential way to detect and characterise exoplanetary magnetospheres. These emissions\, similar to auroral radio signals observed in the Solar System (e.g.\, from Jupiter and its moons)\, could offer the first direct constraints on exoplanetary magnetic fields\, which play a fundamental role in shielding planetary atmospheres from erosion and determining their long-term habitability. In this seminar\, I will provide an overview of SPIs and their different manifestations\, discussing both the observational evidence and theoretical frameworks used to study these interactions. I will highlight the role of stellar magnetism in shaping SPI signals\, explain the challenges in detecting and interpreting these signatures\, and discuss how multi-wavelength observations—including optical\, X-ray\, and radio surveys—are helping us advance our understanding of exoplanetary atmospheres\, magnetic fields\, and their interaction with their host stars. \nFecha: 17/06/2025 – 12:30Dr. Rim FaresFiliación: United Arab Emirates University\, UAE \n

SUMMARY:SO IAA course: Dynamo Theory in Astrophysics
DESCRIPTION:Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the Universe\, including the geomagnetic field\, the systematic magnetic field responsible for the eleven year solar activity cycle\, and the magnetic fields of planets\, stars\, galaxies and accretion disks. It is now generally accepted that these fields are created by the action of hydromagnetic dynamos; i.e. by the motions of conductive fluids or plasmas that sustain the field against the action of Ohmic dissipation. For all these objects there is no ab initio predictive theory for the origin of their magnetic fields. Since the 1950s\, mean-field electrodynamics explains sustained large-scale astrophysical magnetic fields through systematic stretching and twisting of magnetic field lines by turbulent flows. This process is efficient when velocity and magnetic field fluctuations correlate well\, so that net electromotive force is non-zero.  This is possible for flows which possess a high degree of asymmetry and linkedness. Astrophysical rotating turbulence often complies with this assumption\, however\, high flow complexity of the flow means that analytical dynamo solutions are very challenging to derive. 3D numerical simulations became and remain the main tool of dynamo modelling. \nFollowing the footsteps of Andrei Kolmogorov and Keith Moffatt\, in this short course we aim to introduce you to the basics of turbulence and mean-field dynamo theory\, as well as their link to recent numerical simulations\, and the perspectives for astrophysics. The course will be delivered in English\, although the discussion and questions in Spanish are welcome.

SUMMARY:SO Colloquium: What can we expect and hope for in quantum computing?
DESCRIPTION:Quantum computing can solve specific problems much faster than classical computing concepts. Promising applications include material science and chemistry as well as optimizations problems Once quantum computing is fully matured\, it can even crack the most commonly used encryption methods and thus make emails\, credit cards\, bank transactions\, etc. insecure. In recent years\, quantum computing has made significant progress\, which raised interest of scientists\, investors and potential users. In this talk\, I would like to explain how quantum computers work and show what has been achieved so far. Finally\, I would like to explain which development steps are still necessary to unlock the full potential of quantum computers.  \nFecha: 05/06/2025 – 12:30Dr. Michael HartmannFiliación: Institute of Theoretical Physics\, Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg \n

SUMMARY:Towards an observationally motivated AGN dusty torus model
DESCRIPTION:Several models of nuclear dust in active galactic nuclei (AGN) have been presented in the literature to determine its physical and geometrical properties\, usually assuming the dust density distribution as the main aspect producing differences in the mid-infrared (MIR) emission of AGNs. My PhD research investigates the physical and chemical properties of dust in the torus of AGNs using MIR spectral analysis and radiative transfer (RT) modeling. First\, we determined an observationally motivated dust composition by fitting a mineralogy model to Spitzer/IRS spectra of 49 nearby AGNs showing silicate emission at 10 μm. We found that porous alumina\, periclase\, and olivine grains of 0.1 μm dominate the fits\, while traditional astronomical silicates are rarely favored. Subsequently\, we constructed a large RT model grid that explores a parameter space defined by key physical properties of the torus. We focused on the effects of dust density distribution (smooth\, clumpy\, and two-phase) and dust composition on the MIR spectral energy distribution (SED). The resulting synthetic SEDs were analysed through model-to-model and model-to-observation comparisons. We found that both dust distribution and composition significantly influence the silicate feature strengths and spectral slopes. In this talk\, I will present the main results and discuss the principal effects of the density distribution and chemical composition of dust in the MIR SED. \nFecha: 03/06/2025 – 12:30Ulises Reyes AmadorFiliación: IRYA-UNAM\, México \n

SUMMARY:El SKAO\, un balcón al Universo con el corazón en la Tierra
DESCRIPTION:El Observatorio del SKA está construyendo dos radiotelescopios sin precedentes\, por su sensibilidad y complejidad\, en regiones remotas de Sudáfrica y Australia. Su alcance va más allá de lo puramente científico. \nEn esta charla conoceremos sus últimos avances\, la implicación española —con epicentro en Granada\, desde el Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (CSIC)— y el papel que juega nuestra ciudad en dicho proyecto global. En este rincón del sur de Europa estamos desarrollando uno de los futuros Centros Regionales del SKA\, esenciales para que la comunidad pueda acceder a la ingente cantidad de datos que generará el telescopio\, extraer conocimiento y contar además con apoyo técnico y formación especializada. \nA partir de ahí\, abriremos una ventana a las dimensiones menos conocidas del SKAO: el reto de las interferencias provocadas por las megaconstelaciones de satélites\, la cooperación con África\, la ciencia abierta\, el respeto al medioambiente o la creación de oportunidades reales más allá de la ciencia. Una invitación a mirar el universo con la tecnología más avanzada… y con los pies en la Tierra. \nFecha: 29/04/2025 – 19:00Conferenciante: Lourdes Verdes-MontenegroFiliación: Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) \n

SUMMARY:SO Colloquium: The PARSEC view of star formation and the interstellar medium in galaxies
DESCRIPTION:The PARSEC project is a multiwavelength investigation of the centers of galaxies at parsec scales. In this presentation\, I will provide a direct visualization of the star formation process in the centers of galaxies\, resolved into their building blocks—the star clusters. I will address the triggering process of star formation in a range of galaxies with different morphologies and levels of nuclear activity. This triggering process will be connected to a permeating interstellar medium\, resolved into a fine network of molecular and dust filaments that enshroud and feed the star clusters. The analysis of hundreds of clusters and their molecular cloud precursors allows us to determine the timescale of major star formation episodes\, from the molecular core to the pre-cluster phase to the cluster phase. With this information\, an accurate estimate of the star formation rate at both cluster and galaxy scales will be presented. The properties of star clusters at parsec scales will be compared with equivalent measurements in our Milky Way and with recent results on resolved star clusters at high redshift. I will show how this parsec-scale view may challenge our understanding of star formation when averaged at galaxy scales. \nFecha: 29/05/2025 – 12:30Dr. Almudena PrietoFiliación: Instituto Astrofisica Canarias & University Observatory of Munich \n

SUMMARY:Jets in Planetary Nebulae
DESCRIPTION:At the end of the 20th century\, we thought we had a solid understanding of how low-mass stars evolved into planetary nebulae. However\, by studying the stages leading up to these nebulae\, we discovered a puzzle: the energy needed to form them was too large to be explained by traditional models. This revelation led us to explore a more complex scenario: the interaction of binary stars. The gravitational energy and angular momentum of these stellar systems could provide the additional force needed to drive the formation of nebulae. \nIn this talk\, we will explore the exciting consequences of this new perspective\, such as the evolution of binary systems in which stars share a common envelope and the formation of powerful jets of stellar material. \nFecha: 27/05/2025 – 12:30Dr. Guillermo García SeguraFiliación: Instituto de Astronomía\, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México\, Ensenada\, Baja California \n

SUMMARY:Mission Critical Design
DESCRIPTION:FPGA’s and heterogeneous SoC’s are used in an increasing number of mission critical or high reliability applications. These applications span a diverse range from industrial\, medical and scientific to defense\, transportation and even space. For these devices to safely and reliability operate in an often-harsh environment\, a more rigorous design approach is required. One that introduces both stricter engineering governance in the design process and design mitigation techniques. \nAs such designing these solutions requires the designer to not only understand what techniques can be used at the logic level but also\, the wider systematic\, regulatory and environmental issues. This course will therefore present the environmental challenges and what they mean to the logic designer. Along with introducing high level concepts such as SIL level\, Reliability and Mean Time to Failure\, attendees will also gain an understanding of the importance of engineering governance. \nThe focus of this course is the development of techniques which can be used in programmable logic including Clocking & Reset strategy\, Triple Modular Redundancy\, IO Planning\, Safe State Machines and Counters\, Error Correcting Codes\, Single Event Effect Mitigation along with Verification strategies and metrics\, formal equivalence checking\, Synthesis strategies and several other advanced techniques. Each session will complete with a Lab which will demonstrate the concepts outlined in the session. Attendees will at the completion of the course have a detailed understanding of the challenges and strategies to address the creation of mission critical systems for a wide range of applications. \nADIUVO engineering and training will teach the course.

SUMMARY:Galaxies Hidden in the Forest as a new BAO tracer (and other applications)
DESCRIPTION:The acceleration of the expansion rate of the Universe is yet to be explained. Several models\, including LCDM\, try to explain this acceleration. LCDM bases its explanation on a mysterious dark energy\, adding up to ~75% of the total energy density of the Universe. Other models present modified theories of gravity to explain this effect. But which one is correct? The expansion history of the Universe is a great observable to discriminate between these models. I will talk about measurements of this expansion history at redshift greater than 2 using BAO with the Lyman alpha forest\, and review the latest measurements. I will motivate how galaxies in absorption can be affecting our measurements and explain what do we need to extract them and use them as a new BAO tracers. I will end on a note on other possible applications of these galaxies including the creation of new IGM observables for simulations. \nFecha: 22/05/2025 – 12:30Dr. Ignasi Pérez RafolsFiliación: Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña (UPC)\, España \n
