SO coloquio: Investigating the impact of quasar feedback on the central kiloparsecs of galaxies Active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback is the effect that nuclear activity produces in the interstellar and circumgalactic medium of galaxies. Different modes of AGN feedback, which can be broadly divided into radiative/quasar and kinetic/radio, are now considered key processes in the evolution of massive galaxies by regulating black hole and galaxy growth. Indeed, a wealth of observational evidence demonstrates that feedback from supermassive... Dr. Cristina Ramos Almeida |

An observational study of massive star forming regions at radio wavelengths In their early stages, massive stars have a profound impact on their hosting cloud as reflected by signposts like shocks, bars and shells of swept material resulting from prominent stellar winds, or photo-ionized (HII) regions produced by energetic irradiance. This activity must be taken into account in the study of the mechanism of formation of either massive stars or nearby lower mass companions affected by such harsh conditions. It is known...

When accretion is as vital as extreme: from massive young stars to binary black holes Accretion is vital for understanding the properties of a number of astrophysical objects, including massive young stars and black holes. For the former, accretion drives the stellar mass growth and multiplicity through gas fragmentation. It also powers strong outflows that regulate the interstellar medium. For black holes, only accretion allows for electromagnetic detection. Hence, the multi-messenger astronomy, for which the loudest sources of... Dr. Raphael Mignon-Risse |

SO Coloquio: Dirty Dancing: piercing the dusty environment of merging supermassive black holes It is a posit of modern astrophysics that most massive galaxies host a super- massive black hole (millions to billions of times more massive than the Sun). These black holes affect the evolution of galaxies well beyond their gravitational sphere of influence (which does not extend wider than 1/1000th of the typical galaxy linear size). In turn, the evolution of galaxies affects the growth of black holes through, e.g., galaxy merging.... Matteo Guainazzi |

SO colloquio: To be black, or not? Observational tests of strong field gravity are improving rapidly. This allows us to test whether the compact objects observed in the sky are truly black holes as described in general relativity or some other "exotic" objects. These tests, however, require exquisite theoretical modeling of black holes as well as their alternatives. This talk will discuss two such examples: the impact of the astrophysical environment on black holes and the... Dr. Béatrice Bonga |

The effect of pre-processing on the stellar population content of early-type dwarf galaxies According to the CDM model, galaxy clusters grow through the accretion of individual galaxies and galaxy groups. Thus, it is a true challenge to distinguish the possible role of the present-day host halo from that of previous ones, in the transformation of accreted galaxies. Dwarf early-type galaxies (dEs) are often regarded as statistically meaningful testbeds for investigating environmental effects mainly due to their high number density and... Dr. Bahar Bidaran |

Fossil groups of galaxies: seeing the future looking at the past The nature of fossil groups of galaxies has been debated for over more than 3 decades. This is in part because of the lack of deep multiwavelength data and also due to the low purity of samples selected using solely magnitude gap criteria. The initial results of a sample of bonafide fossil groups using X-ray/optical observations has clarified many of their characteristics, such as high central metal abundances and concentration measurements....

These charged atomic particles reach energies orders of magnitudes higher than achievable in accelerators on Earth, which points towards an origin of the most extreme objects in the universe, with strong magnetic shocks and mass transfer. However, these sources are not firmly identified. Astrophysical interpretations are currently limited by the... Dr. Anna Nelles |

SO colloquio: A conclusive test of the cold dark matter model The ``Lambda cold dark matter'' (LCDM) cosmological model is one of the great achievements in Physics of the past thirty years. Theoretical predictions formulated in the 1980s turned out to agree remarkably well with measurements, performed decades later, of the galaxy distribution and the temperature structure of the cosmic microwave background radiation. Yet, these successes do not inform us directly about the nature of the dark matter. This... Dr. Carlos Frenk |

The many “phases” of small bodies Asteroids, comets, and trans-Neptunian objects are collectively known as small bodies. In a way, they are the debris left by the planetary formation in the Solar system, and as such, they carry a lot of information regarding the processes that shaped it. But, small bodies are by no means stationary objects: not only do they move across the sky, but their brightness also changes due to different mechanisms, from rotational variations due to...

Revisiting the intermediate- to high-mass star formation Intermediate and high-mass forming stars have a large impact on the interstellar medium and nearby star forming regions. Historically, the study of the general properties of intermediate- to high-mass pre-main sequence stars has been hampered by the lack of a well-defined, homogeneous sample, and because few and mostly serendipitously discovered sources were known. As a consequence, many open problems involving high-mass star formation suffer... Dr. Miguel Vioque |

New insight into the magnetism of isolated white dwarfs Many stars evolve into magnetic white dwarfs, but we do not know when the magnetic field appears at their surface, if and how it evolves during the cooling phase, and, above all, what are the mechanisms that generate the field, and why they act on some but not all degenerate stars. Observations may help to find an answer to these questions, but their interpretation is dramatically affected by biases due to target selection and a non-homogeneous... Dr. Stefano Bagnulo |
