Meeting on Light Pollution: Challenges and Responses for Monitoring it
Light pollution has a direct impact on the environment, on astronomical observations and on the starry sky as a heritage resource of humanity. Excessive light confuses the biological clocks of humans, animals and plants with its spectral composition similar to daylight. As a result, it makes it difficult to distinguish between day and night and between the seasons to which living organisms are physiologically attuned. Light pollution is...

Outflows from low to high luminous AGNs
Outflows are believed to play a major role in the evolution of galaxies and are said to be ubiquitous within the active galactic nuclei (AGN) population. However, we still lack a comprehensive view of their properties and impact in their host galaxies and the surrounding medium. If we focus on the low luminosity part of the AGN family, in particular in low ionisation nuclear emission-line regions (LINERs), the impact of outflows is still largely...

Young massive clusters in the Gaia era
After the detection of gravitational waves and the realisation of the wide diversity among core-collapse supernova explosions, Interest in massive stars has been rekindled. Young open clusters are our natural laboratories to explore the lives and deaths of massive stars, and most of our current understanding comes from their study. Until recently, we have been strongly limited by practical difficulties and small number statistics. Most open...

Coloquio SO: Extracting stellar populations and (mainly) emission line information out of S-PLUS photometry
We present tests of a new method to simultaneously estimate stellar population and emission line (EL) properties of galaxies out of S-PLUS photometry. The technique uses the AlStar code, updated with an empirical prior which greatly improves its ability to estimate ELs using only the survey's 12 bands. The tests compare the output of (noise-perturbed) synthetic photometry of SDSS galaxies to properties derived from previous (STARLIGHT-based)...

SO Colloquium: Studying star-formation in 'collisional' galaxies with MUSE
Galaxies in pre- and post-collisional stages are an excellent laboratory to study the evolution of galaxies, particularly the triggering and suppression of star formation on galactic scales before and after such interactions. In order to analyze the star formation triggered in these systems, we started a series of studies on 'collisional' galaxies with available integral field spectroscopy (IFS) observations. We use Very Large Telescope (VLT)...

SO Colloquium: Testing black hole structure with very-long-baseline interferometry
Black holes hold a tremendous discovery potential, and experiments such as the Event Horizon Telescope and its next generation upgrade could provide important cues about their structure. New physics beyond general relativity can modify the structure of black holes and leave imprints on image features, for instance changing the separation between photon rings or generating additional sets of photon rings. Both cases motivate the study of the...

X-ray emission from Symbiotic Stars: a stellar window to the Astrophysics of AGN
Symbiotic stars (SySts) are binary systems in which a white dwarf (WD) accretes material from a red giant star. X-ray studies of SySts reveal an apparent variety of processes which would suggest different origins. In this talk I will briefly review our current knowledge of the X-ray properties of SySts (their classification and physical parameters), in particular I will describe the iconic systems R Aqr and CH Cyg. Finally I will present our...

SO Colloquium: The demographics of small exoplanets
The diversity of the exoplanet population is beyond our imagination. The more than 5000 known exoplanets vastly differ in mass, size, orbital period, dynamics, and host type. Demographic studies, however, aim to find patterns in the population that inform us about their origin, composition, and evolution. Among these features, perhaps the most surprising is the abundance of planets with no analog in the solar system, also known as sub-Neptunes....

SO Colloquium: The evolution of the accretion process: investigating the protostellar phase to constraints planet formation
The accretion process is responsible for the mass building during the star formation phase, but our knowledge of this phenomenon is still not totally understood. On one side, the magnetospheric accretion scenario describes the accretion on pre-main sequence (Class II/III) low-mass stars. However, most of the material is supposed to be accreted during the earliest stages, i.e. the protostellar phase (Class 0/I), when the forming star and its disk...

During its inauguration, the MeerKAT released, to date, the most detailed image of the centre of the Galaxy at L-band (1.28 GHz). Since then, the data have been exploited for various scientific research. One such exploitation was to produce a high resolution mosaic of the Galactic centre. From this mosaic came a catalogue of newly discovered unresolved point sources. Over 1500 sources were identified, of which 20 are steep spectrum point...

SO Webloquium: Feeding and Feedback: How to Make a Starburst and What that Means for the Host Galaxy
The cycle of star formation governs the evolution of galaxies. In some local galaxies, the star formation rate in their centers are much higher than other normally star-forming galaxies and may be more similar to galaxies at earlier cosmic times. I present observational results from two archetypal nearby starburst galaxies: NGC253 and M82. First, I will discuss how gas flows to the center of NGC253 along its bar to fuel the extreme burst of...

Low-mass exoplanets are showing a diversity in their densities, ranging from silicate-dominated super-Earths to volatile-rich sub-Neptunes. We have developed a coupled interior-atmosphere model that estimates the composition and interior structure of super-Earths and sub-Neptunes assuming water and CO2 atmospheres. The applications of the model include the homogenous analysis of a sample of multi-planetary systems, as well as the assessment of...

In recent years, significant progress has been made in understanding the formation of high-mass young stellar objects (MYSOs; i.e. M∗ ≥ 8 M⊙, Lbol ≥ 5 x 103 L⊙. The latest observational and theoretical studies present evidence that HMYSOs are born in the same way as their low-mass counterparts, via disc...

Near-Infrared Observations of Clustered Massive Star Formation in Outflowing Region AFGL 5180
Massive stars are significant throughout the universe, as they impact their surroundings from the early stages of their formation until they die in the form of supernova. Observations in the near-infrared (NIR) of the bright and large-scale (~pc) jets which young stars ubiquitously produce during their formation process can place important constraints on the phenomenon of massive star formation. Here, we present a detailed NIR view of the star-...

Off-centre supermassive black holes in bright central galaxies
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are believed to reside at the centre of massive galaxies such as brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), the most massive galaxies which can be found in today's Universe.

J-PAS: a survey for tracing the role that star formation and environment play in galaxy evolution
The processes that explain the evolution of galaxies from the blue cloud to the red sequence are still under discussion. Internal processes, named as mass-quenching, because they are linked to the galaxy mass or AGN feedback, could be responsible of the rapid quench of the star formation in galaxies. Besides the stellar mass, the evolution of the galaxy populations is also a function of the environment. Unlike the mass quenching, the...

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.

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....

Los genes como recortables. La edición genética basada en la tecnología CRISPR
En el año 2012, un trabajo publicado en la revista Science demostró que la tecnología CRISPR podía ser usada de una manera precisa y eficiente en la edición del genoma de un ser vivo. Desde entonces, el método ha llevado a miles de laboratorios a utilizarlo en aplicaciones que van desde biomedicina hasta agricultura.

CARMENES-PLUS: a technical upgrade for CARMENES and the impact on its science
CARMENES is a dual (VIS: 550 to 950 nm; NIR: 950 to 1700 nm) high-resolution spectrograph installed at the 3.5 m telescope at the Calar Alto Observatory (CAHA, Almería, Spain). The NIR channel spectrograph uses the radial-velocity method for detecting exoplanets around low-mass stars. Thus, a high thermal stability is required in the NIR cooling system to achieve a high precision in radial velocities. The cooling system was originally conceived...

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...

SO webloquio: The Milky Way Nuclear Star Cluster
The Milky Way nuclear star cluster (NSC) is located within the nuclear stellar disc (NSD) in the Galactic centre. The NSC and NSD are distinct structures of the Milky Way, but also connected to the larger Milky Way structures, e.g. via the inflow and outflow of gas, and the infall of star clusters. Our knowledge of the larger Milky Way structures, Galactic disc, bulge and halo, has expanded in recent years through surveys and dedicated missions...

The ASTRI Mini-Array and its Science
The ASTRI Collaboration is building at the Teide Astronomical Observatory in Tenerife an array of 9 small Cherenkov telescopes capable of observing with good flux sensitivity, energy and angular resolution the gamma-ray sky above an energy threshold of several hundreds of GeV. The ASTRI telescopes adopt a dual-mirror Schwarzschild-Couder optical design. Entrapped amidst the two mirrors the ASTRI camera, based on silicon photon-multipliers...

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...

La génesis de las constelaciones. Mitos y literatura en la astronomía griega
La esfera celeste se divide en la actualidad en 88 constelaciones. Son agrupaciones aparentes de estrellas que aparecen dibujadas sobre la esfera celeste, en un ejercicio intelectual que mucho tiene que ver con la cultura.  Cada civilización ha recreado las constelaciones según sus creencias, aunque las aceptadas por la Unión Astronómica Internacional se basan, sobre todo, en la Era de los Descubrimientos y en la tradición grecorromana....

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....

SO Colloquio: Moving from high to extreme precision in air shower observations: From LOFAR to SKAO
Cosmic rays play an interesting role in understanding the most violent objects in the universe. 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...

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...
