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 |

Experimental ice simulations for the interpretation of ice and organics observations in the Solar System The harsh conditions in space (ultra-high vacuum, cryogenic temperatures, and radiation) are simulated in laboratory chambers to study ice properties and processes. UV photons/X-rays/ions impact on the ice covering microscopic dust particles in dense interstellar clouds, comets, icy moons and planetary surfaces. Radiation produces radicals and reactive species changing the initial composition of the ice (made of simple species like... Dr. Guillermo Muñoz Caro |

Ozone and the Search for Life in the Universe 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... Dr. Thea Kozakis |

Towards the Standardization of the Modeling of Multi-Frequency Observations 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... Dra. Mireia Nievas Rosillo |

Who Is Afraid of the Dark (Energy)? Cosmic acceleration dominates the behavior of the recent universe, with some fundamentally new physics at its heart. Recent data gives a tantalizing suggestion that the dark energy behind it is more complicated than a cosmological constant. Nevertheless, we do know a lot about how to describe dark energy behavior. Data within the next year has great promise to give further insight, and exciting new instruments are being planned. Dr. Eric Linder |

Uncovering the magnetized path of massive star formation 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... Dr. Chi Yan (Paul) Law |

SO Colloquium: Cosmic chemical evolution: here, there, and everywhere 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... Profa. Ángeles Díaz |

The stellar distribution in ultra-faint dwarf galaxies suggests deviations from the collisionless cold dark matter paradigm 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... Dr. Jorge Sánchez Almeida |

Constraining the Meteoroid Flux in the inner solar system 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... Dr. Juan Diego Carrillo Sánchez |

Intersexionality, a key work for diversity? 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... Dr. Eleonora Fiorellino |

A complex network perspective on Delta Scuti stars We apply horizontal visibility graphs (HVG) to study the complex network behavior for the delta Sct stars’ light curves observed by TESS. The delta Sct stars are pulsating stars with spectral types A0-F5 and intermediate masses between low-mass stars (≤ 1 Msun) and high-mass stars (≥ 2 Msun). They pulsate in low-order pressure modes and have dominant pulsation frequencies in the 5-80 d−1 range. The high amplitude delta Sct stars (called HADS),... Dr. Elham Ziaali |
