Towards an observationally motivated AGN dusty torus model 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.... Ulises Reyes Amador |

Galaxies Hidden in the Forest as a new BAO tracer (and other applications) 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...

Jets in Planetary Nebulae 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... Dr. Guillermo García Segura |

SO colloquium: What can we expect and hope for in quantum computing? 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... Dr. Michael Hartmann |

The multiple aspects of Star-Planet Interactions 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...

Synthetic ngVLA Observations of Ionized Gas in Massive Protostars and Future Prospects for Protoplanetary Disk Studies with ngVLA and SKA. The study of protoplanetary disks is essential for understanding stellar evolution and the origins of planets. However, these systems present significant observational challenges due to their small angular size, low surface brightness, and complex structure. Radio interferometry provides a unique advantage by observing dust and gas at wavelengths that penetrate the dense regions where the protoplanetary disk forms. The upcoming Next Generation...

Phase curve fitting in the context of large-scale photometric surveys Nowadays, we are experiencing a revolution in astronomical surveys. Thanks to ground-based and orbiting telescopes, millions of observations of asteroids in various photometric filters are available. The main objective of our project is to develop tools for reading, processing, and analyzing large volumes of data. We’ve successfully determined phase curves for thousands of asteroids in orange and cyan filters from the latest ATLAS Solar System... Dr. Milagros Colazo |

What Stops Star Formation in Isolated Dwarf Galaxies in the Most Underdense Cosmic Regions? The shallow potential wells of low-mass galaxies, commonly known as dwarf galaxies, make them highly susceptible to environmental effects, often leading to the complete cessation of star formation. But is quenching solely driven by external forces in harsh environments, or can dwarf galaxies also self-quench through mechanisms like strong stellar winds or supernova feedback, independent of external influences? In this contribution, I present our... Dr. Bahar Bidaran |

Impacts of Cosmic Dust in the Atmospheres of Mars and Venus Cosmic dust particles are produced from the sublimation of comets and by collisions between asteroids. Because the particles enter a planetary atmosphere at hypersonic velocities, collisional heating with air molecules causes a fraction of them to melt, leading to vaporization of their metallic constituents. The injection of these elements causes a wide variety of atmospheric phenomena in the terrestrial atmosphere, including the formation of... Dr. John Plane |

In particular, the chemical abundances of the star-forming regions of galaxies contain valuable information about their assembly histories, as well as about the processes that regulate the history of star formation and the mixing of chemical elements. In particular, they encode the history of recent... Dr. Patricia B. Tissera |

However, the origin of such a signal is still a matter of intense debate: while supermassive black hole binaries formed as a result of galaxy mergers represent the most obvious candidate for the gravitational wave signal, many "new Physics" models can potentially explain at least part of the detected background....

SO Colloquium: Modelling of large-scale magnetic field in low-mass stars Recent spectropolarimetric observations of low-mass stars show that large-scale components of their magnetic fields can exhibit cyclic variations or reversals. This magnetic activity affects detection of exoplanets and estimation of their masses, and so its modelling is particularly important. In convective stellar envelopes, magnetic fields are created through dynamo action - systematic stretching and twisting of magnetic field lines by... Dr. Anna Guseva |

El crecimiento de la complejidad en el Universo La existencia de vida es uno de los grandes problemas cosmológicos. Aunque la vida sea un hecho observado en un único planeta, el proceso de complejización que supone, debe obedecer a leyes generales universales. Varios autores claman por una “missing law” termodinámica, a la búsqueda de la cual se incorpora la hipótesis que presentamos aquí. El surgimiento y la evolución de la vida son resultado del mismo principio. Se deduce que la complejidad... Dr. Eduardo Battaner |

Study of the very high energy emission from star-forming regions and young massive star clusters Cosmic rays (CRs) are a fundamental component of the Cosmos. They can penetrate and ionise the dense gas core of molecular clouds, affecting the dynamics of the cloud itself and triggering chemical reactions that lead to the creation of complex molecular compounds. In star-forming complexes, CRs can be accelerated by the wind of newly born massive stars, often found in young massive stellar clusters (YMSC). The amount of freshly injected CRs can...

Resolving Stellar Angular Diameters with Asteroid Occultations Occultations have been used for measuring stellar angular diameters since 1936 when French astronomy M. A. Arnulf measured the radius of Regulus during a lunar occultation. Since then, astronomers have used lunar occultations to measure the angular diameters of hundreds of bright stars m≤5. The technique of measuring an angular diameter using lunar occultations is based on the diffraction of light around the limb of the moon. With this technique... Joshua Bartkoske |
