Galaxies Hidden in the Forest as a new BAO tracer (and other applications) The acceleration of the expansion rate of the Universe is yet to be explained. Several models, including LCDM, try to explain this acceleration. LCDM bases its explanation on a mysterious dark energy, adding up to ~75% of the total energy density of the Universe. Other models present modified theories of gravity to explain this effect. But which one is correct? The expansion history of the Universe is a great observable to discriminate between...

Jets in Planetary Nebulae At the end of the 20th century, we thought we had a solid understanding of how low-mass stars evolved into planetary nebulae. However, by studying the stages leading up to these nebulae, we discovered a puzzle: the energy needed to form them was too large to be explained by traditional models. This revelation led us to explore a more complex scenario: the interaction of binary stars. The gravitational energy and angular momentum of these... Dr. Guillermo García Segura |

What Stops Star Formation in Isolated Dwarf Galaxies in the Most Underdense Cosmic Regions? The shallow potential wells of low-mass galaxies, commonly known as dwarf galaxies, make them highly susceptible to environmental effects, often leading to the complete cessation of star formation. But is quenching solely driven by external forces in harsh environments, or can dwarf galaxies also self-quench through mechanisms like strong stellar winds or supernova feedback, independent of external influences? In this contribution, I present our... Dr. Bahar Bidaran |

Impacts of Cosmic Dust in the Atmospheres of Mars and Venus Cosmic dust particles are produced from the sublimation of comets and by collisions between asteroids. Because the particles enter a planetary atmosphere at hypersonic velocities, collisional heating with air molecules causes a fraction of them to melt, leading to vaporization of their metallic constituents. The injection of these elements causes a wide variety of atmospheric phenomena in the terrestrial atmosphere, including the formation of... Dr. John Plane |

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...

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 |

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 |

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 |

Acerca de la Cosmología La Cosmología como ciencia empírica comenzó en los años 20 del pasado siglo. Desde entonces varios hitos observacionales han inspirado y sostenido el mejor modelo cosmológico que nos hemos podido dar. Sin embargo la materia y la energía oscura, la masa de los neutrinos, y otros nuevos datos observacionales nos obligan a replantearnos algunas preguntas y explorar, quizás, otras aproximaciones a la pregunta de cómo se formó y evoluciona...

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 |

Dust in protoplanetary disks, (still) that great unknown Planetary systems are a side effect in the formation of a star. Planets are believed to be just simply the last remaining of dusty circumstellar disks which is formed around the protostar at very early stages. Thus, understanding how planets are formed requires to understand how dust evolve in these disks. It is less than ten years that we have the possibility of mapping the dust distribution in protoplanetary disks with great detail with... Carlos Carrasco González |

New possibilities for atmospheric analysis with Monte Carlo In recent years, significant advancements have been made in scientific computing utilizing the Monte Carlo method, particularly at the intersection of two key communities: the heat transfer community and the computer graphics community. The first breakthrough is that the computation time required to solve radiative transfer becomes invariant, whether the ground is described by a single building or thousands of them, whether the 3D clouds are...

The art of astrophysical measurements: An elementary lecture on photon counting and S/N Have you ever dared to understand how many photons are detected by your camera when you are pointing the telescope to the sky? Is the action of the spectrograph fully understood when analyzing those photons? Do typical image formation rules hold when studying the polarization of light? All these are a few examples of questions addressed by researchers when designing instruments, which are later constrained by technological capabilities. This... Dr. José Carlos del Toro Iniesta |
