METIS is one of the three first instruments for the European Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), Europe’s next-generation ground-based telescope for optical and infrared wavelengths which is currently under construction at the ESO site at Cerro Armazones in Chile.

FPGAs are key components in space equipment due to their versatility and performance to implement digital functions.

Feedback originated from star formation and AGN activity in galaxies can have a significant impact on their evolution.

During the last decades, many authors have put large efforts to shed light on the mechanisms responsible of the generalized growth in size of galaxies, as well as to disentangle the main “driver” of their stellar content.

Line diagnostics is very important to understand the physics of astronomical sources.

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project is an international effort to build the largest radio telescope on Earth, which will be able to make revolutionary contributions to Astrophysics, Astrobiology and Fundamental Physics.

The discovery of collimated outflows in planetary nebulae (PNe) has changed the paradigm of PN formation. They actively participate in the nebular shaping immediately before or while fast stellar winds and D-type ionization fronts shock and swept the nebular envelope.

A growing number of studies report linkages between unrelated stratospheric and upper atmospheric phenomena. For example, stratospheric warmings correlate with ionospheric perturbations, and with reductions in polar mesospheric cloud occurrence.

One of the problems we are facing in the study of evolved low- and intermediate-mass stars such as Planetary Nebulae (PNe) is the lack of completeness. Most known PNe belong to the bright or intermediate part of the luminosity function, leaving out those at the faint end.

Orion is the massive star formation region closest to the Sun and in consequence it has been studied in detail. I will present three recent results from the IRyA group on this region.

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.
