Novae as Lithium factories in the Milky Way The abundance of Lithium observed in very young stellar populations is ~4 times larger than the primordial one estimated by recent Planck measurements. Since Lithium is easily destroyed in stellar interiors, the search for astrophysical sources responsible for of the observed Lithium over-abundance was a mystery for decades. In this seminar I'll discuss the recent detection of Lithium in the spectra of two slow novae, V1369 Cen and V5668 Sgr,... Dr. Luca Izzo |

Witnessing the birth of a planetary nebula Planetary nebulae are one of the last stages of evolution of stars like our Sun. The beginning of photoionization, giving rise to a new planetary nebula, will certainly produce dramatic changes in the object, but this instant is difficult to observe, since it will only take a few decades. During of a long-time study of water masers in post-AGB stars and planetary nebulae, we identified an object (IRAS 15103-5754) in which we believe... Dr. Jose Francisco Gómez |

Multiwavelength analysis of PBC J2333.9-2343 Nuclear activity as is observed in active galactic nuclei (AGN) might be a phase occurring in all galaxies, and this activity could be recurrent. A perfect laboratory to test these scenarios are the giant radio galaxies, since their emission can be as old as 10⁷-10⁸ years. In the present work we focus on the nucleus of PBC J2333.9-2343, which called our attention because it is a giant radio galaxy that shows different and incompatible... Dr. Lorena Hernández García |

The CaII triplet in Quasars: from the accretion disk to the star formation Active galactic nuclei (AGN) show a great diversity of optical and UV emission line properties. Dynamical and physical models should be built accordingly. The presence of strong FeII emission suggested the existence of a region shielded from high energy photons, where the low ionization lines are emitted. Mary Loli Martínez Aldama |

Issues in star and cluster formation The upper mass stellar initial mass function is similar to the mass function of young star clusters. I argue that this is a basic result expected when gravitational focusing on scales much larger than the Jeans length operate. I will also present recent VLBI studies of Orion which yield new distance estimates. Prof. Lee Hartmann |

Shaking the grounds of unification: are type 1 and type 2 AGN intrinsically different? The simplest standard unified models of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), put forward more than 30 years ago, postulate that the diversity of observed properties of AGN can be largely explained as a viewing angle effect resulting in anisotropic nuclear obscuration. A key ingredient of these models is a homogeneous distribution of dust and gas located at tens of parsecs that obscures the AGN nuclear region from certain lines-of-sight (the ‘torus’)....

Challenges of the Doppler technique in the presence of stellar noise for the detection of Earth-like exoplanets The Doppler method is still the most efficient one in detecting exoplanets around nearby stars which are amenable for further characterization. In particular, planets as small as the Earth can in principle be detected in hot orbits around sun-like stars (G and K dwarfs), and warm to temperate orbits around M-dwarfs (M<0.5 sun) in orbital periods from a few days to tens of days. Unfortunately, these time-scales are plagued with structured... Dr. Guillem Anglada-Escude |

Dissecting a rare galaxy merger (the Hummingbird) with radio and mm-observations The Bird is a luminous infrared galaxy product of a triple merger. Previous infrared observations have shown that the ongoing star formation in the least massive of the components (the head) outshines that of the mprimary nuclei (the heart and the body). This clashes with the commonly accepted major merger scenario in which the SF is expected to be higher in central compact regions. Here I will present preliminary results...

Baryon Acoustic Oscillations and the Expansion History of the Universe The tiny inhomogeneities left over from the inflationary phase seeded the early Universe with primordial density perturbations. The photon-baryon fluid reacted to these perturbations by forming spherical pressure waves known as baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO). These waves propagated through the primordial plasma until the Universe became transparent to radiation, effectively stopping the dragging of the baryons by the photons. This left... A. J.

Observing the onset of outflow collimation in a massive protostar: assembling the puzzle The current paradigm of star formation through accretion disks, and magnetohydrodynamically driven gas ejections, predicts the development of collimated outflows, rather than expansion without any preferential direction. We present radio continuum observations of the massive protostar W75N(B)-VLA 2, showing that it is a thermal, collimated ionized wind and that it has evolved in 18 years from a compact source into an elongated one. This... José María Torrelles |

Observaciones radiointerferométricas de discos de transición Los discos de transición son discos protoplanetarios con cavidades o huecos en sus zonas internas. Se han sugerido varios mecanismos para explica estas cavidades. El más aceptado y apoyado tanto por simulaciones como por observaciones es el del vaciado de material debido a la interacción gravitatoria del disco con un planeta recién formado. En esta charla explicaré cuáles son los rasgos observacionales característicos de los diferentes... Enrique Macías - Sala de Juntas del Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) |

Agujeros negros: observando lo invisible Un agujero negro absorbe todo lo que está a su alrededor, incluida la luz, por lo podríamos decir que es un objeto invisible. Sin embargo, sí pueden detectarse sus efectos debido al intenso campo gravitatorio que genera. Antxon Alberdi |

Ionized gas in the CALIFA galaxies We present here the most recent results we have obtained in our exploration of the gas abundances using the IFU data from the CALIFA survey. Using our own developed tools we have extracted the ionized gas properties of ~10.000 HII regions, in order to explore: (i) the relation between these properties and those of the host galaxies and the underlying stellar population; (ii) the local relation between the gas...

Astronomía y literatura ¿Tiene sentido esta mezcla? A tenor de las páginas que ya existen en la red, incluso parece que la idea está muy extendida. ¿Qué hace la Astronomía y qué hace la Literatura? En ambos casos, el científico y el escritor tratan de darnos su visión del mundo, son aproximaciones humanas a un entorno desconocido y a veces desconcertante. El primero trata de explicar, el segundo de conmover, pero ambos conmueven y explican. Emilio J. Alfaro y Susana Escudero |

Understanding the obscuring torus and the nuclear star formation of AGN using GTC/CanariCam observations The fueling of black holes occurring in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is fundamental to the evolution of galaxies. AGN themselves are largely explained in the context of a unified theory, by which a geometrically and optically thick torus of gas and dust obscures the AGN central engine. The torus intercepts a substantial amount of flux from the central engine and and reradiates it in the infrared. There are still many... Almudena Alonso-Herrero |

¿Por qué nos importan las formas de las galaxias? Las galaxias aparecen en el universo con formas distintas (unas son más esféricas, otras elípticas, espirales, o totalmente irregulares), y con una gran diversidad de estructuras (bulbos, discos, barras nucleares, brazos espirales, anillos, colas, etc). Estudiar estas propiedades morfológicas de las galaxias es justamente uno de los parámetros clave para entender cómo se forman y evolucionan. Mirjana Povic |

FORMATION AND EVOLUTION OF COSMIC DUST: THE NANOCOSMOS PROJECT Evolved stars are the factories of cosmic dust. This dust is made of tiny grains that are injected into the interstellar medium and plays a key role in the evolution of astronomical objects from galaxies to the embryos of planets. However, the fundamental processes involved in dust formation and evolution are still a mystery. The aim of the NANOCOSMOS project is to take advantage of the new ... J. Cernicharo, C. Joblin & J.A.

Activity and Evolution of Oort Cloud Comets Comets formed early in the evolution of the solar system while material was accreting to form planets. When proto-planets became large enough, a population of comets was dynamically ejected into the Oort cloud. Comets entering the inner solar system for the first time are called dynamically new comets. These objects have not been heated by the Sun and retain some of the most primordial material available for observation in the solar system... Dr. Dennis Bodewits |

Historia de un planeta canijo (o elogio de la soberbia)” La misión Solar Orbiter ocupa el lugar M1 del programa Cosmic Vision de la ESA. Se trata de una nave que orbitará el Sol con órbitas muy elípticas cuya mínima distancia al Sol será tan pequeña como la del radio medio de la órbita de Mercurio: tan solo un 30 % de la distancia entre la Tierra y el Sol. Dichas órbitas, además, se elevarán del plano de la eclíptica hasta 35º con lo que ofrecerán una visión inédita de los polos del Sol. Jose Carlos del Toro Iniesta |

Structural properties of isolated galaxies Distinct components of galaxies are products of internal and environmental processes throughout their lifetimes. Disentangling these processes is an important issue for understanding how galaxies form and evolve. In this context isolated galaxies represent a fruitful population to explore as they should be mainly affected by internal processes (minimal merger/accretion/tidal effects). I will present the structural analysis of a representative... Mirian Fernández Lorenzo |
