The solar chromosphere is the boundary layer between the interior and exterior of the Sun, routing the origins of the coronal heating.

El neurólogo Ben Barres, que murió hace unos pocos años, escribió un texto en Nature muy interesante sobre ciencia y género y en él decía: "The progress of science increasingly depends on the global community, but only 10% of the world’s population is male and caucasian.

The formation of massive stars, objects with masses larger than 8 times solar, is central to both stellar astronomy and galactic evolution. In recent years, significant progress has been made in understanding the formation of high-mass young stellar objects (MYSOs; i.e.

The search for technosignatures - remotely observable indicators of advanced extraterrestrial life - addresses one of the most profound questions in science: are we alone in the universe as intelligent life?

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.

In this talk, I will present how the aperture masking interferometric (AMI) mode of the JWST works. I will describe the main characteristics of this mode. In particular, I will show some of the advantages of the mode complementary to standard imaging and coronagraphic observations.

Solar Orbiter is a space mission of international collaboration between ESA (European Space Agency) and NASA. Solar Orbiter was launched on February 9th 2020 from Cape Canaveral, FL onboard of an Atlas V 411 rocket.

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has imaged the black hole shadows of the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87 (M87*) and at the center of the Milky Way (Sgr A*).

In the realm of astronomical exploration, cutting-edge technologies are indispensable. Single-Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) sensors offer unparalleled precision, enabling the detection of individual photons with remarkable timing resolution.

Rocky planets located in the habitable zones around very low-mass objects are ideal targets for searching for life outside our Solar System. In order to better understand their formation and evolution, N-body simulations are needed.

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.

Massive stars are important throughout the universe, but their formation remains poorly understood. I review current understanding of how massive stars form in our Galaxy, in particular examining observational tests of various predictions of Core Accretion and Competitive Accretion theories.

The characterization of solar-type stars is fundamental for various fields in astrophysics, including exoplanet detection and the chemical evolution of our Galaxy.

History tells us that with new telescopes and new data processing techniques come new discoveries and breakthroughs in pulsar astrophysics. Despite nearly 55 years since their discovery, fundamental open questions remain in almost all areas of research.

The defense of our planet against asteroid impacts counts on international collaboration. NASA's OSIRIS-REx and Japan's Hyabusa2 spacecraft studied two potentially hazardous asteroids Bennu & Ryugu and bring samples back to Earth.

About a decade ago, the upgrade from the classic Very Large Array into the EVLA, i.e. the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA), made it possible to observe fainter radio continuum emission than ever before. The project Continuum Halos in Nearby Galaxies - an EVLA Survey (CHANG-ES, PI: J.

Polarimetry is a very important technique for understanding magnetic fields and high-energy processes in the Universe.

El jueves 27 de abril a las 12:00 CEST, el Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) y el Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) celebrarán un evento gratuito y abierto para investigadores interesados en la Ciencia Abierta y posibles sinergias con el CTAO, así como para estudiantes d

The processes that explain the evolution of galaxies from the blue cloud to the red sequence are still under discussion.

During the last two decades, multiple observation techniques have enabled the study of exoplanet atmospheres, informing us about their chemical composition, thermal distribution and transport processes.

The angular size of a star is a critical factor in determining its basic properties. Together with the distance, it provides the physical diameter of the star which can be used to yield luminosity and mass estimates.
