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: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: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: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: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: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: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
