The VLASS is part of a new generation of radio sky surveys. It covers the entire sky above -40 degrees declination. Observations started with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array in 2017 and the first epoch covering the entire survey area will be completed by July 2019.

Re-ionisation brought a major change in the history of the Universe. Most theories assume that re-ionisation proceeded in patches and lasted for some time.

Our view of the gas and its physical conditions in the central region of AGN has been enriched by the discover of fast and massive outflows of HI and molecular gas. These outflows can be driven by radiation/winds but also by the interaction of the radio plasma with the ISM.

The new generation of cosmological surveys like DESI, J-PAS and Euclid will measure the effect of dark energy on the expansion history of the universe.

Mergers and tidal interactions between massive galaxies and their dwarf satellites are a fundamental prediction of the Lambda-Cold Dark Matter cosmology.

El objetivo de esta charla es presentar a todo el Instituto el I Plan de Igualdad de género. Plantearé las motivaciones y necesidades de contar con un plan de igualdad en un instituto de investigación, cuando ya el CSIC está preparando su III Plan de Igualdad.

LoI for new instruments for 3.5m Telescope

The AAO is a consortium of three Australian instrumentation groups, based at Macquarie University, University of Sydney, and the Australian National University. Collectively, the consortium has delivered hundreds of instrument projects for astronomy, for our own telescopes and internationally.

Solar atmosphere and solar wind provide a unique laboratory for understanding the nonlinear dynamics of space and astrophysical plasmas.

The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), currently in construction, shall be the Cherenkov Telescope Observatory for VHE Gamma Ray Astronomy, and shall provide crucial data for the understanding of the extreme universe in the recently open multimessenger era.

In the context of the upcoming SRG/eROSITA survey, I will present in this talk a methodology to construct mock catalogs for X-ray selected AGN samples based on dark matter only N-body simulations.

In this seminar I will describe the results of a large study designed to determine the input rate of cosmic dust to the terrestrial atmosphere, using a self-consistent treatment of cosmic dust from the outer solar system to the Earth’s surface.

Long γ-ray bursts are associated with energetic, broad-lined, stripped-envelope supernovae that are characterised by an high-velocity ejecta, of the order of 30,000 km/s.

We are entering a golden age for radio astronomy. New and existing facilities operating at submm-to-m wavelengths are shedding new light on the formation of planets, black holes, and even the first galaxies.

The central region of our Galaxy contains a huge amount of molecular gas. This region is often referred to as the "central molecular zone (CMZ)". High-velocity compact clouds (HVCC) are a peculiar population of molecular clouds found in the CMZ of our Galaxy.

Life, planets, exoplanetary systems, stars, and our galaxy evolve with time, and the best and sometimes only way for understanding this evolution is dating stars. THOT is a Marie Curie Project devted to gathering and updating all the stellar dating techniques into a single computational tool.

The habitability of a planet depends on various factors, such as delivery of water during the formation, the coevolution of the interior and the atmosphere, as well as the stellar irradiation which changes in time.

The first trans-Neptunian object was discovered in 1930 and we waited over 60 years to discover the second one. The discovery of Albion (a.k.a. 1992QB1) enticed the minor bodies community to characterize the new population, called collectively as trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs).
