La misión ExoMars descubre un nuevo gas y rastrea la pérdida de agua en Marte El orbitador ExoMars-TGO, de la Agencia Espacial Europea y Roscosmos, halla cloruro de hidrógeno en la atmósfera marciana, producida por la liberación de la sal incrustada en la superficie del planeta. Los datos de ExoMars permiten también cuantificar la pérdida de agua en el planeta rojo y establecer los mecanismos que contribuyen al proceso |

Extreme Blazars Blazars are jetted active Galactic Nuclei with the jet axis oriented close to the line of sight of the observer. Non-thermal emission processes in the jet cover the whole electromagnetic spectrum from radio wavelengths to TeV gamma rays, with a characteristic double-humped Spectral Energy Distribution (SED). Relativistic amplification effects on the observed fluxes make their jets ideal candidates for detection at any wavelength. A physically... Dr. Giacomo Bonnoli |

On the effects of Initial Mass function on the galactic chemical enrichment: the role of Pair Instability Supernovae We built new sets of chemical yields from massive and very massive stars up to Mi ~ 350 Msun, by combining the wind ejecta extracted from our hydrostatic stellar evolution models with explosion ejecta from the literature. Using a simple chemical evolution code we analyse the effects of adopting different yield tables by comparing predictions against observations of stars in the solar vicinity. Our study indicates that PISN played a significant... Dr. Sabyasachi Goswami |

Gas-poor clusters: what kind of beasts are they? The known variety of galaxy clusters is constantly increasing with our progress in understanding the severity of selection effects on observational samples and with obvious implications on cosmology and cluster physics. In the talk, after a general introduction on galaxy clusters and a reminder on selection effects, I present perhaps the first X-ray unbiased sample of clusters with known masses and X-ray follow-up, its more variegate nature...

Optical polarization of radio-quiet active galactic nuclei and its repercussion within the changing-look scenario The core of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) remains under the resolution limit of the vast majority of current telescopes. However, polarimetry provide us with information of those unresolved regions, which would be inaccessible in natural light, such as the presence of dust, magnetic fields or scattering regions. This talk will be focused on the optical polarization properties of radio-quiet AGN and its relation with the geometry of the scattering... Dr. Beatriz Agis González |

From the pre-telescope era to the present, our ability to see the lowest surface brightness details in the sky has improved by a factor of one million.

SO Webloquio: Multiple stellar populations in globular clusters: Properties, origin, open questions Globular clusters (GCs) are fascinating objects nearly as old as the Universe that provide insight on a large variety of astrophysical and cosmological processes. However, their formation and their early dynamical evolution are far from being understood. In particular, the classical paradigm describing GCs as large systems of coeval stars formed out of chemically homogeneous material has been definitively swept away by recent high-precision...

Artificial radio signals are perhaps the best known example but there are also many other possibilities e.g. excess infra-red emission due to waste... Dr. Mike Garrett |

SO Web-Colloquia: The influence of the star-forming environment on planetary systems Planet formation occurs at the same time as star formation, and so the environments in which stars are born are also the birthplaces of planetary systems. Star forming regions are very dense, meaning that encounters between stars and planetary systems are common. Furthermore, the intense UV radiations fields from intermediate and massive stars can truncate, or destroy protoplanetary discs. In this talk, I will describe the detrimental effects of...

In 2015, we predicted the clustering and broad mass distribution of PBH, which peaks at several Msun, and whose high-mass tails could be responsible for the seeds... Dr. Juan García-Bellido |
