Seminarios de especialización
Asistencia a seminarios de la especialidad
Durante el curso, en la Facultad de Ciencias Físicas se organizan múltiples Seminarios sobre temas especializados que se enmarcan en las distintas líneas de investigación. Estos Seminarios se desarrollan fundamentalmente en inglés. Entre estos seminarios, los correspondientes al área de Astrofísica los organiza el Departamento de Astrofísica y Ciencias de la Atmósfera, aunque los otros departamentos involucrados también organizan seminarios similares.
Los Seminarios de la Facultad garantizan una actividad formativa de calidad. No obstante, son igualmente importantes los ciclos de seminarios especializados que se organizan en el resto de centros colaboradores (CEFCA, CAB, IAA, ...).
La Comisión Académica del Doctorado en Astrofísica supervisará que la agenda de eventos se extienda de forma homogénea a lo largo del curso y cubra las diferentes temáticas del programa. También se ocupará de su publicidad.
Durante los dos primeros cursos desde que ingresó en el programa, el doctorando deberá asistir al menos a seis Seminarios de especialización (tres por semestre, con una duración aproximada de 90 minutos). El tutor se encargará de supervisar la asistencia a dichos Seminarios y recomendará los de mayor interés en relación con la actividad investigadora que se está desarrollando. El tutor se encargará de registrar e informar de la actividad en el Documento de Actividades.

"Evidence for cosmological gas accretion in local galaxies".
J. Sánchez Almeida
Martes 12 de marzo de 2019, 15:30 h. Seminario de FTA (4ª planla , 215)
According to the cosmological numerical simulations of galaxy formation, cosmic gas accretion sets the rate of galaxy growth. This ingredient is both central to the theory of galaxy formation, and extremely elusive observationally. One of the best observational supports for this theoretical framework is the fact that galaxies follow the so-called fundamental metallicity relation (FMR; Mannucci+10, Lara-Lopez+10), so that galaxies of the same stellar mass but larger star formation rate (SFR) have smaller gas-phase metallicity (Zg). It is thought to be fundamental because it naturally arises from the stochastic feeding of star-formation from the external metal-poor gas accretion predicted by the models. I will present two recent works of our group on the FMR. First, most star-forming galaxies of the nearby universe (as portrayed by MaNGA) show a local anti-correlation between SFR surface density and Zg (Sanchez-Menguiano+19). Locally enhanced star formation is associated with a drop in metallicity. Second, we prove that the FMR follows from the spatial integration of this local anti-correlation (Sanchez Almeida+19). Local and global laws agree when considering the star-forming galaxies in MaNGA. Thus, understanding the FMR becomes equivalent to understanding the origin of the drop in metallicity of the most actively star-forming regions of each galax

“Direct measurement of stellar angular diameters by the VERITAS Cherenkov Telescopes”
Tarek Hassan (DESY, VERITAS – Helmholtz Association)
Fecha: 27 febrero 2019
Hora: 15:30 h
Aula: Seminario FTA, planta 4, Facultad de CC Físicas
Resumen: 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, when combined with the effective temperature derived from spectral measurements, can be used to yield luminosity and mass estimates. Direct measurement of stellar angular diameters is difficult: at interstellar distances stars are generally too small to resolve by any individual imaging telescope. This fundamental limitation can be overcome by studying the diffraction pattern in the shadow cast when an asteroid occults a star, but only if sufficiently well resolved in time and when the photometric uncertainty is smaller than the noise added by atmospheric scintillation. Atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes used for particle astrophysics observations have not generally been exploited for optical astronomy due to the modest optical quality of the mirror surface. However, their large mirror area makes them well suited for such high-time-resolution precision photometry measurements. Here we report two occultations of stars observed by the VERITAS Cherenkov telescopes with millisecond sampling, from which we are able to provide a direct measurement of the occulted stars’ angular diameter at the < 0.1 milliarcsecond scale. This is a resolution never achieved before with optical measurements and represents an order of magnitude improvement over the equivalent lunar occultation method. We compare the resulting stellar radius measurements with empirically derived estimates from temperature and brightness measurements, confirming the latter can be biased for stars with ambiguous stellar classifications.

“Red dwarfs and the nearest terrestrial planets”
Guillem Anglada-Escudé from Queen Mary University of London, UK
Date: Thursday, 29 November 2018
Time: 10:30 h
Room: B3/B5
Resumen: Exoplanets with properties similar to Earth's can now be systematically detected around the nearest red dwarf stars thanks to the higher sensitivity towards detecting these with current techniques and their high abundance. Despite their potential capabilities of sustaining atmospheres (and therefore support life as we know it) are controversial due to star-planet interactions, they offer unique observing possibilities that should allow
obtaining observational answers in the years to come. I will review where and which planets we can now find, and which observational follow-up opportunities are there depending on the detection method employed.

“Seeing the Sky: Visualization & Astronomers”
Prof. Alyssa Goodman from Harvard University)
Date: Friday, 8 June 2018
Time: 10:30 h
Room: D1
Resumen: Astronomers have a long history of visualization. Going back only as far as Galileo, discoveries were made using sketches of celestial objects moving over time. Today, Astronomy inquiries can, and often do, make use of petabytes of data at once. Huge surveys are analyzed statistically to understand tiny fluctuations that hint at the fundamental nature of the Universe, and myriad data sets, from telescopes across the globe and in space are brought together to solve problems ranging from the nature of black holes to the structure of the Milky Way to the origins of planets like Earth. In this talk, I will summarize the state of partnerships between astronomical, physical, and computational approaches to gleaning insight from combinations of scientific and information visualization in Astrophysics. In particular, I will discuss how the glue linked-view visualization environment (http://glueviz.org), developed originally to facilitate high-dimensional data exploration in Astronomy and Medicine, can be extended to many other fields of data-driven inquiry. In addition, I will explain how the current open-source, plug & play, approach to software facilitates the combination of powerful programs and projects such as glue, WorldWide Telescope, ESA Sky, and the Zooniverse Citizen Science platform.

Título: "Quark matter in the core regions of massive neutron stars (?)"
Conferenciante: Milva Orsaria (Universidad Nacional de la Plata, Argentina),
Time: 14:30 h
Lugar: Seminario de Física Teórica II, UCM
Resumen: The study of neutron stars establishes a direct connection between astronomy and nuclear and particle physics, allowing a better understanding of the behavior of matter under conditions that are difficult to reach in the laboratory. Massive neutron stars provide very important constraints on high-density nuclear matter and its associated Equation of State (EoS), which is still essentially unknown. Depending on neutron star mass and rotational frequency, gravity may compress the matter in the core regions of such objects up to more than ten times the density of ordinary atomic nuclei, thus providing a high-pressure environment in which numerous subatomic particle processes are likely expected to compete with each other and phase transitions to new states of matter, foremost quark matter, may occur. In this talk, I will provide a general discussion of the properties of quark matter and explore its role for the core composition of neutron stars.

Título: "Observations of Circumgalactic, Inflowing Gas with CWI"
Conferenciante: D. Christopher Martin (Universidad de Caltech, EEUU)
Time: 13:00 h
Lugar: Facultad de Matemáticas, UCM. Sala Miguel de Guzmán
Descripción:
I describe observations with the Palomar Cosmic Web Imager and the newly commissioned Keck Cosmic Web Imager of the Circum-Galactic Medium (CGM). We show ubiquitous Lyman alpha emission near 2<z<3 QSOs, a significant number of systems velocity shear and angular momentum, filamentary and disklike morphology, and features expected from cold flow inspiral structures. In particular, new observations with KCWI show unambiguously both rotation and radial inflow in filamentary patterns, strong evidence for a cold-flow origin of high-z star-forming galaxies and for the deliverance of angular momentum via filamentary inflow in forming galaxies. We also provide a brief update to the planned flight of FIREBALL-2 to explore the low redshift CGM.

Descripción:
Bipolar flows, centrifugally driven from magnetized disks are generated during star formation. Though their mechanical input in the circumstellar environment and molecular cloud has been thoroughly studied, their impact in disk evolution is poorly addressed. In this seminar, I'll described the basic paradigma, the characteristics of the solutions and the impact of disk winds both as obscuring screens of stellar Ly-alpha and ultraviolet radiation and as sources of disk heating.

“Habitable Worlds Around Dark Stars: How TRAPPIST-1 Changes the Search for Life Beyond Earth”
Adam Burgasser (University of California San Diego, CA, USA)
Date: Thursday, 14 December 201
Time: 10:30h
Room: B3
Resumen: Efforts to find life beyond Earth typically seek worlds like Earth; terrestrial planets orbiting within the habitable zones of Sun-like stars. Yet transit surveys clearly demonstrate that terrestrial worlds are more likely to be found among the lowest-mass stars, which are themselves the most common and longest-lived stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. Moreover, the proximity of the habitable zones of these dim, small stars makes them readily detectable by the transit method, although it has been challenging to build up a statistically robust sample. The recent discovery of seven terrestrial worlds orbiting an ultracool dwarf star by the TRAPPIST survey, three within the star's habitable zone, has proven the feasibility of this approach. In this talk, I will describe how the TRAPPIST-1 planetary system was found, what we have learned about the host star and its planets, and the ongoing theoretical and observational work aimed at determining whether habitability is a possibility for this cool, active star. I will also describe some of the ancillary science be made possible by this dedicated monitoring program. I will conclude by describing how the next phases of this project, the TRAPPIST and SPECULOOS observatory network, will increase both the number and diversity of planetary systems around the smallest stars.

“Getting close to black holes with X-ray spectral-timing”
Phil Uttley (University of Amsterdam)
Date: Friday 30 June 2017
Time: 10:30h
Room: B3
Resumen: The variable X-ray emission from accreting stellar-mass and supermassive black holes encodes detailed information about accretion and emission processes in the strong gravitational field approaching the event horizon, as well as relativistic effects due to the strong gravity. These compact regions are impossible to resolve spatially with current and planned X-ray telescopes, but the last decade has seen great progress in the development of a new approach, spectral-timing, which simultaneously combines the X-ray spectral and variability information to unlock the secrets of the innermost regions. I will review the development of X-ray spectral-timing and what it tells us about the inner regions of accreting black holes. In particular I will show XMM-Newton’s pivotal role in these discoveries and look forward to new spectral-timing capabilities with the NICER telescope on the ISS and future missions such as eXTP, STROBE-X and ATHENA.

Título: "Physical properties of Gamma-Ray Blazars"
Conferenciante: Vaidehi S. Paliya, Clemson University, SC, USA
Time: 15:00 h
Lugar: Seminario del dpto. FAMN: 3ª Pl, 218.A de la Facultad de Físicas, UCM
Descripción:
Blazars are radio-loud ac/ve galaxies with their powerful relativistic jets pointed towards the observer. Accordingly, the relativistic amplification of the radiation makes them visible even at extremely large redshift (z>4) and thus they can be used as a cosmological tool to study the evolution of the Universe. Until the beginning of the 21st century, the study of blazars was more focused on individual bright objects (e.g., 3C 279, Mrk 421). However, the recent technological advancements in the field of high energy astrophysics, particularly the Swift and the Fermi satellites, have now made it possible to probe the faint end of the blazar population. Motivated by the availability of good quality Multi-Wavelength (MW) dataset of a large number of blazars, an effort has been made to study a few fundamental physical properties of blazars present in the Candidate Gamma-Ray Blazar Survey catalog, such as the accretion-jet connection and the cosmic evolution of relativistic jets. The details of the derived results will be presented with a focus on the role of the upcoming MW missions, e.g., AMEGO, e-ASTROGAM.

Título: "Stellar "GPS": Navigation in the Solar System"
Conferenciante: Christopher Jacobs (NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory)
Time: 13:30 h
Lugar: Aula Magna de la Facultad de Físicas, UCM
Descripción:
How does one navigate to a planet such as Mars? Will GPS work? Since ancient times sailors have navigated by following a path guided by markers with known locations: bottom sounding, landmarks such as mountain peaks, and of course stars overhead in the sky. In modern times the GPS satellites in the sky are providing the needed markers. However, when our spacecraft travel to the planets they go beyond the reach of GPS signals. What then can the navigator do? Needing markers which are very, very stable in position and very far away, the modern navigator chooses beacons powered by supermassive black holes: quasars! Yet even super-powerful quasar signals are very diluted by the time they travel billions of light years to Earth. So we need large antennas (~35-meters) and super- cooled electronics (-270 deg C) and averaging over billions of bits of data in order to detect the quasar signals--and even that is not enough. Next we need to link antennas from around the world into a super-antenna we call an "interferometer.” Only then, with these super-antennas and their lever arms the size of the Earth, can we pinpoint the location of the spacecraft to within about the 100 meters accuracy needed to initiate the landing sequence from the top of the Martian atmosphere. The last part of the trip is the most exciting. First, a parachute slows the lander down enough to fly on auto-pilot (because round trip light time is ~10 minutes) using radar to guide us almost to the ground. Lastly, in the case of MSL, the Curiosity Rover is lowered from a sky crane".

Título: "Exoplanets transits in Lyman-Alpha"
Conferenciante: Ana Inés Gómez de Castro
Time: 16:00 h
Lugar: Sala de Seminarios, Edificio Fisac, Fac. de Estudios Estadísticos Facultad de Estdística, UCM
Descripción:
Observations of the Earth's exosphere have unveiled an extended envelope of hydrogen reaching further than 10 Earth radii composed of atoms orbiting around the Earth. This large envelope increases significantly the opacity of the Earth to Lyman -alpha photons coming from the Sun, to the point of making feasible the detection of the Earth's transit signature from 1.35 pc with an 8~meter primary mirror space telescope, as we show. In this work, we evaluate the potential detectability of Earth analogues orbiting around nearby M-type stars by monitoring the Lyman-alpha flux variability.
We show that, in spite of the interstellar, heliospheric and astrospheric absorption, the transit signature is detectable with a 4-8 m class telescope for many sources. A 2-m class telescope, such as the World Space Observatory, would suffice to detect an Earth-like planet orbiting around Proxima Centauri.
Such monitoring programs would enable measuring the robustness of planetary atmospheres under heavy space weather conditions like those produced by M-type stars

18.00 horas Calle Valverde, 22
Resumen:
Se conocen en la actualidad más de 3000 planetas que orbitan alrededor de estrellas de nuestra Galaxia. Estos planetas, conocidos como exoplanetas por ser exteriores a nuestro Sistema Solar, presentan configuraciones muy diversas, que son además diferentes de la de nuestro Sistema Solar. Para entender estos sistemas y conocerlos con suficiente detalle, se hace necesario estudiar las estrellas jóvenes en las que los exoplanetas se forman a partir del gas y el polvo en los discos que las circundan.
En esta conferencia se presentarán diversas observaciones recientes que permiten replantear la formación de estrellas como un proceso simultáneo de generación de estrellas y planetas. Se resumirán asimismo algunos resultados obtenidos mediante observaciones con las nuevas generaciones de telescopios y radiotelescopios, y se discutirán los principales retos a los que se enfrenta este campo en un futuro inmediato.

Título: "The TROY project: looking for orbitmates"
Conferenciante: Jorge Lillo-Box (ESO, Chile),
Time: 14:30 h
Room: B3, ESAC
Abstract: During planet formation, minor bodies can get trapped and grow in the Lagrangian
gravity wells of a planet-star system. These objects, called trojans, co-orbit with the
planet. They are thus outgrowths of planet formation and early evolution processes,
so their mere existence and characterization can provide key information about the
first stages of the life of planetary systems. The most well-known trojans are located
in Jupiter's L4 and L5 points, but other planets like our own Earth also host trojan
bodies. In the Solar System, their wide variety of properties (libration amplitudes,
inclinations, etc.) are providing important hints on the history and evolution of our
planetary system. Consequently, the detection of the first exotrojan bodies will open
a new scientific window to unveil planet formation and migration in outer systems.
In this context, we have started the TROY project, a multi-technique effort to find
these bodies around known extrasolar planets. In this talk I will present the main
goals of the project and the scientific outcomes that will be extracted from our joint
observational and theoretical plan, as well as some preliminary results.

Título: "Constraining the fine structure of stellar jets close to the launching site: comparing numerical simulations with observations"
Conferenciante: Sabina Ustamujic
Time: 15:00 h
Lugar: Sala de Seminarios, Edificio Fisac, Fac. de Estudios Estadísticos Facultad de Estdística, UCM
Descripción:
The early stages of a star birth are characterised by a variety of mass ejection phenomena, including outflows and collimated jets, that contribute to regulate the angular momentum balance and are therefore strongly related to the accretion process developed in the context of the star disc-interaction. After been ejected, jets move through the ambient medium, interacting and producing shocks and complex structures that are observed at different wavelength bands. On the theoretical side, numerical simulations are becoming ever more sophisticated and are a key tool for any analysis in this field.
In this talk I will introduce PLUTO, a numerical code for computational astrophysics, and I will describe the models I have developed during my thesis. I performed a set of 2.5-dimensional MHD numerical simulations modelling supersonic jets ramming into a magnetized medium, exploring different cases, and compared the model results with observations, via the count rate and the X-ray luminosity synthesized from the simulations.

Título: "Two views in Numerical Astronomy: Predictability in Galactic Potentials and Evolution of Protoplanetary Discs"
Conferenciante: Juan Carlos Vallejo Chavarino
Time: 15:00 h
Lugar: Sala de Seminarios, Edificio Fisac, Fac. de Estudios Estadísticos Facultad de Estdística, UCM
Descripción:
Despite the fact that Astronomy is an experimental science, astronomers have no direct means to gain access to the observed objects, neither they can modify the main parameters of the studied systems. Moreover, the evolutionary time scales of astronomical systems are totally different from common human time scales. Therefore, numerical simulations are a key tool for any analysis. Numerical Astronomy is then a multidisciplinary field, joining tools and techniques both from Physics and Computational Sciences. This talk will present two different researches carried out within the common frame of Numerical Astronomy.
The first part of the talk will present the concept of Predictability of numerical simulations. We will focus on the study of Galactic mean potentials, modelled as dynamical systems based on ordinary differential equations. The use of numerical computations here implies an analysis of the goodness of the simulation results and also of the time scales over which those results can be considered valid. These time scales strongly depend on the stability of the solutions and the presence of nonlinear phenomena. In turn, we will see how these phenomena depend on some of the modelled physical characteristics, such as, for instance, the presence of triaxial dark haloes.
The second part will present the initial steps carried out for analysing a model of an evolutionary protoplanetary disc, based on a classic diffusion process modelled by a system of partial differential equations. Within this approach, simulations based exclusively on viscous processes show a too simple secular evolution. The so-called “UV-switch” model includes photevaporation processes that add another time scale to the model and triggers a quicker clear-out of the inners parts of the disc.

Título: "Multi-wavelength spectroscopic observations of gas in YSO: dynamics and spatial distribution"
Conferenciante: Pablo Riviere-Marichalar (ESAC/ESA, Madrid, Spain),
Time: 10:30 h
Room: B3, ESAC
Abstract: During my Fellowship at ESA I collected a catalogue of Herschel-PACS
observations of young stellar objects (YSO), with more than 300 stars
covering all early evolutionary stages, from very embedded sources to
protoplanetary and debris discs. The catalogue of [OI] and H2O at 63
microns is ready for scientific exploitation. Taking advantage of the
spatial resolution of PACS, the spatial distribution of different
species can be studied. Furthermore, in favorable cases many dynamical
components can be observed. Preliminary results show a tendency for
early evolutionary stages to show extended emission in [OI], as well as
multiple dynamical components. The analysis for H2O is uncertain, since
the lack of extended emission or multiple components seems to be
connected with the low SNR of the lines. The most likely scenario to
explain the observed features in the [OI] at 63 microns line is one
where different physical components contribute to the emission, those
components being: jets and winds, the envelope and the disc. By
modelling individual sources we can get more insight on the actual
contribution of each component. After finishing my ESA Research
Fellowship I will move to OAN, where I will use radio observations of
Class 0 to Class II sources, combined with PACS and HIFI observations,
to model some of this sources in detail using MADEX, and furthermore,
to look for statistical trends in the observed lines that can help to
understand the global picture.
26 de enero de 2017 - SEMINARIO del Grupo de Investigación AEGORA, UCM
Título: "Planets beyond Pluto?"
Conferenciante: Raúl de la Fuente Marcos
Time: 14:30 h
Lugar: Sala de Seminarios, Edificio Fisac, Fac. de Estudios Estadísticos Facultad de Estdística, UCM
Descripción: For decades, the trajectories of asteroids and comets moving beyond Neptune could be explained without considering that additional planets may exist beyond Pluto. But this is no longer true! Twenty-one (and the list keeps growing) minor bodies that never cross paths with Neptune follow an orbital choreography that cannot be explained within the eight-planets-only Solar System paradigm. One or more trans-Plutonian planets must exist! In this talk, we will review the latest scientific results (including those obtained with the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias) on one of the hottest topics in Planetary Astronomy.

Título: "The Search for the Philae Lander"
Conferenciante: Laurence O'Rourke (ESAC/ESA, Madrid, Spain),
Time: 10:30 h
Room: B3, ESAC
Abstract: On the 12th November 2014, the Philae Lander separated from Rosetta and
descended during 7 hours to make a soft touch down on its surface. At
that point, things started going wrong as the harpoons didn't fire and
Philae bounced across the surface. It finally landed in a location over
1 km from its original landing site, hidden in the shadows of an ice
rocky terrain. The search for its final location began in fact the
exact moment it stopped moving and continued through to nearly 2 year
later in early September this year when we finally took the definitive
picture of Philae on the surface of 67P. So how did we find Philae in
the end, why was it so difficult, what were the challenges to be faced,
who was involved, what techniques were needed to put together an
observing campaign to hone in on its final location, how many Philae
imposters did we find, what did we learn in having found it, what would
we do differently in the future for landers? All of these questions and
more will be answered in this talk. The talk itself will be based
purely on imagery and videos so expect to be entertained in one of the
final science talks leading to Christmas.
24 November 2016 - Thursday - ESAC science seminar
Título: "Characterising the lunar crust-mantle transition with
visible-near infrared spectroscopy to constrain the
evolution of our Moon"
Conferenciante: Melissa Martinot (Vrije University Amsterdam, The Netherlands),
Time: 10:30 h
Room: B3, ESAC
Abstract: Studies of the lunar crust composition and its lateral and vertical
heterogeneities provide important constraints to understand the
magmatic and thermal evolution of the Moon. Several global surveys of
the crustal composition have been performed using various lunar remote
sensing datasets: ultraviolet-visible multispectral data, visible-near
infrared imagers data or multi-channel reflectance and infrared data.
The conclusions of these surveys vary: some authors proposed that the
mafic content of the lunar crust increases with depth whereas other
authors estimated that there is no general trend, but rather localised
vertical and lateral heterogeneities in the crust. This study aims to
investigate which of these hypotheses is the most probable by surveying
the mineralogy of impact craters’ central peaks, where material from
depth is exposed. Craterisation equations predict that some impact
craters potentially excavated material originating from around the
lunar crust-mantle interface. A selection of such craters was made for
the present survey. Reflectance data is used to study the mineralogy of
their central peaks, and confronted to data from other instruments that
orbited our satellite in the last decades. This allows to better
understand the geological context of the craters, giving information on
the lunar crust vertical and horizontal structures. Determining
compositional zonation in turn can give constraints on the crust
magmatic evolution.

Título: "An Improved Measurement of the Expansion Rate of the Universe and a Path to 1% with Gaia"
Conferenciante: Adam Riess (Johns Hopkins University / Space Telescope Science Institute, Baltimore, USA),
Time: 14:30 h
Room: D1/D2, ESAC
[Adam Riess shared both the 2006 Shaw Prize in Astronomy and the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics with Saul Perlmutter and Brian P. Schmidt for providing evidence that the expansion of the universe is accelerating.]
Abstract: The Hubble constant remains one of the most important parameters in
the cosmological model, setting the size, volume, and age scales of the
Universe. Present uncertainties in the cosmological model including the
nature of dark energy, the properties of neutrinos and the scale of
departures from flat geometry can be constrained by measurements of the
Hubble constant made to higher precision than was possible with the
first generations of Hubble Telescope instruments. A streamlined
distance ladder constructed from infrared observations of Cepheids and
type Ia supernovae with ruthless attention paid to systematics now
provide 2.4% precision and offer the means to do much better. By
steadily improving the precision and accuracy of the Hubble constant,
we now see evidence for significant deviations from the standard model,
referred to as LambdaCDM, and thus the exciting chance, if true, of
discovering new fundamental physics such as exotic dark energy, a new
relativistic particle, or a small curvature to name a few
possibilities. Further improvements may be anchored by upcoming
parallax measurements from Gaia coupled to homogeneous galactic and
extragalactic photometry from HST to approach ~1% precision. I will
review recent and expected progress.

Título: "The new Planetary Science Archive: why is it interesting for you?"
Conferenciante: Sebastien Besse (ESA/ESAC)
Time: 10:30 h
Room: B3, ESAC
Abstract: The Planetary Science Archive (PSA) is the European Space Agency’s (ESA) repository
of science data from all planetary science and exploration missions. The PSA provides
access to scientific datasets through various interfaces at http://archives.esac.esa.int/psa.
All datasets are scientifically peer-reviewed by independent scientists, and are compliant
with the Planetary Data System (PDS) standards. The PSA is currently implementing a
number of significant improvements, mostly driven by the evolution of the PDS standard,
and the growing need for better interfaces and advanced applications to support science
exploitation. The newly designed PSA will enhance the user experience and will significantly
reduce the complexity for users to find their data promoting one-click access to the scientific
datasets with more specialised views when needed. This includes a better integration with
Planetary GIS analysis tools and Planetary interoperability services (search and retrieve data,
supporting e.g. PDAP, EPN-TAP). It will be also up-to-date with versions 3 and 4 of the PDS
standards, as PDS4 will be used for ESA’s ExoMars and upcoming BepiColombo missions.
Users will have direct access to documentation, information and tools that are relevant to
the scientific use of the dataset, including ancillary datasets, Software Interface Specification
(SIS) documents, and any tools/help that the PSA team can provide. A login mechanism will
provide additional functionalities to the users to aid / ease their searches (e.g. saving queries,
managing default views).

Título: "Structures in plasma turbulence: from MHD to Vlasov"
Conferenciante: Sergio Servidio (University of Calabria, Cosenza, Italy)
Time: 10:30 h
Room: B3, ESAC
Abstract: Magnetic reconnection, non-thermal plasma processes and turbulence
represent three main features of space plasmas, suggesting that these
phenomena need to be investigated with nonlinear plasma models. A
description of intermittent structures, that spontaneously emerge in
turbulence, is presented. Systematic analysis of numerical simulations
of two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (2D MHD) turbulence reveals the
presence of a large number of X-type neutral points, where magnetic
reconnection locally occurs. The associated reconnection rates are
distributed over a wide range of values and scales, exhibiting a good
agreement with existing theories of magnetic reconnection. This
scenario has been further inspected in the context of Hall MHD and
Vlasov 2D simulations.
Hybrid Vlasov-Maxwell (HVM) simulations are presented, establishing a
link between kinetic effects and turbulence. Using a five-dimensional
geometry (2D in space and 3D in the velocity space), it is found that
kinetic effects (or non-fluid effects) manifest through the deformation
of the proton velocity distribution function (DF), with patterns of
non-Maxwellian features being concentrated near regions of strong
magnetic gradients. Results have been confirmed by recent 6D Vlasov
simulations, and by numerical models of multi-ion turbulence.
The simulations are directly compared to spacecraft observations,
where usually proton temperature anisotropy is observed. Both
simulations and solar wind data suggest that temperature anisotropy
is not only associated to magnetic intermittent events, but also with
gradient-type structures in the flow and in the density. This
connection between kinetic features and turbulence open a new path on
the study of processes such as heating, particle acceleration, and
temperature-anisotropy, being also crucial for upcoming solar wind
missions.

Título: "Hubble Space Telescope: Piecing Together the Workings of the Universe"
Conferenciante: Dr. Robert Williams Space Telescope Science Institute (Baltimore)
Hora: 12h00m
Lugar: Sala de seminarios, CEFCA, Teruel
Abstract: In orbit for 24 years and still operating well, in planning and development for 15 years before that, HST was the most expensive
scientific project in history until CERN's LHC. Its unique features of high spatial resolution, ultraviolet sensitivity, and low sky background
together with its unified, well calibrated, publicly available data archive have produced many notable astronomical discoveries. Highlights
of Hubble Telescope's scientific mission will be discussed in the context of processes that have been key to our current understanding of the
evolution of the universe from the earliest times to the present epoch. These include gravitational lensing, the Hubble deep fields which have
revealed early galaxy formation, galaxy mergers that form black holes, and the initial attempts of analysis of the atmospheres of planets around
other stars.
