THOT: Dating stars Life, planets, exoplanetary systems, stars, and our galaxy evolve with time, and the best and sometimes only way for understanding this evolution is dating stars. THOT is a Marie Curie Project devoted to gathering and updating all the stellar dating techniques into a single computational tool. In this presentation, I will present some of the most promising techniques for stellar dating, and show the current main contributions of this project (...

What we (don't) know about the trans-Neptunian objects The first trans-Neptunian object was discovered in 1930 and we waited over 60 years to discover the second one. The discovery of Albion (a.k.a. 1992QB1) enticed the minor bodies community to characterize the new population, called collectively as trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). Today we know the existence of over 2,000 objects and counting. Nevertheless, it seems that we have reached our technological limitation in terms of observational studies...

The planetary nebula HuBi 1, a rebel with a cause Planetary nebulae, the descendants of low- and intermediate-mass stars, have characteristic onion-like ionization structure, with the highest ionization species closer to the central star. This is true for all planetary nebulae, but HuBi 1, which shows an inverted ionization inner shell. There is a reason for this oddity, a peculiar stellar evolution of its central star, which makes HuBi 1 the missing link of the population of cool C-rich... Dr. Martin Guerrero IAA-CSIC, Spain |

The peculiar case of the active galactic nuclei in PBC J2333.9-2343 Under unification schemes, active galactic nuclei (AGN) can be explained by orientation effects. However, some sources show properties at different frequencies that led to incongruent classifications and cannot be explained by such unification scheme. This is the case of PBC J2333.9-2343; its optical spectrum is of a type 2 AGN but its X-ray spectrum does not show signs of absorption, and in the radio it has many features typical of a blazar but...

Optical spectroscopy of local type-1 AGN LINERs The Balmer emission originated in the broad line region (BLR) of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) could be either weak and difficult to detect, or even absent, for low luminosity AGNs, as low ionization nuclear emission-line regions (LINERs). This makes LINERs challenging to fit in the AGN unification scheme. Moreover, a long debate can be found in the literature proposing different ionization sources at the origin of optical emission lines and no... Dr. Sara Cazzoli IAA-CSIC, Spain |

Extreme quasars at high redshift The study of the AGN accreting close to the Eddington limit (L/LEdd~1) has taken an important role, due to their potential use as standard candles for cosmological applications. With the purpose to understand the physics of extreme quasar, we perform a spectroscopic analysis of a sample of highly accreting quasars at high redshift (z~2–3).

What do environments can tell us about supernovae? The advent of Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS) applied to supernova (SN) environmental studies have shown the potential of this technique to directly characterize the galactic environmental parameters at SN locations, compare them to those at different locations of the galaxy, and put constraints on progenitor stars for different SN types. Here, I will summarize past works and present ongoing efforts, including the PISCO compilation and the... Dr. Luis Galbany University of Pittsburg, EEUU |

Physical and statistical properties of High Frequency Peaked blazars In the class of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), blazars are the most extreme objects, with their relativistic jets closely aligned to our line-of-sight. The emission of blazars is mostly non-thermal, spanning the entire electromagnetic spectrum, and is often linearly polarized providing us with important insights on the magnetic field structure. An emerging radio-loud AGN population is represented by high synchrotron peaked (HSP) blazars,... Dr. Lico Universidad de Bologna,Italy |

On the ultra-compact dwarf galaxy-nuclear star cluster connection Ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) are predominatly found in the cores of nearby galaxy clusters, regions that are dominated by early-type galaxies, among them nucleated dwarf ellipticals. One of the favourite scenarios for the origin of UCDs is that they are isolated nuclei from threshed dwarf galaxies or maybe also from disrupted late-type spiral galaxies that fell into the clusters. In this scenario one would expect to find super... Dr. Michael Hilker ESO |

Lightning – from Its Base to Space Lightning has been studied for centuries with surprisingly meager progress since the early breakthroughs of Franklin. There are numerous reasons for this lack of progress: lightning is complex, it is very energetic with large peak power - hard for in-situ probes to survive, it is spatially and temporally sparse – hard to place a sensor in an optimal location. However, modern technological advances and innovations have led to new remote... Prof. Hugh Christian Earth System Science Center,University of Alabama in Huntsville, USA |

Can CALIFA tell us something about the cosmic evolution of the star formation rate and stellar mass of the Universe? We investigate the cosmic evolution of the absolute and specific star formation rate (SFR, sSFR) of galaxies as derived from a spatially-resolved study of the stellar populations in a set of nearby galaxies from the CALIFA survey. The results show again the uniqueness of the CALIFA survey to characterize the cosmic evolution of the spatially- resolved SFR and stellar mass of galaxies.

GRB 170817A: a peculiar low-luminosity short gamma-ray burst associated with a NS-NS merger gravitational wave signal Short-duration gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs) have long been proposed to be produced in systems involving the coalescence of double neutron stars (NS-NS), and the observations of sGRB afterglows and host galaxies are consistent with such a conjecture. Based on the estimated event rate density derived from previously observed sGRBs at cosmological distances, the chance of detecting a sGRB within a small volume for detectable NS-NS mergers by advanced...

Surprising characteristics of the dwarf planet Haumea revealed by a stellar occultation The solar system currently contains 8 planets and 5 dwarf planets. Among the 5 dwarf planets, 4 of them dwell in the transneptunian region, and among the transneptunian dwarf planets, the only one that remained poorly characterized was Haumea. This was because all other dwarf planets had been visited by spacecraft or had produced stellar occultations which allowed us to determine some of their basic physical properties with accuracy.
