SEMINARIO: "The Eastern Edge of the Kappa Ori cluster" - Ignazio Pillitteri (INAF Osservatorio Astronomico di Palermo)
ABSTRACT:
Orion is a forgery of young stars, composed of several groups and associations that span different ages  (1-15 Myr) distances (350-450 pc) and masses (from BDs to O type stars). X-rays can be used to infer distances of groups of young stars and thus the spatial structure of the Orion complex.  Exploring the synergy of IR and X-ray observations, I present the first results from a recent XMM observation of a group
of young stellar objects around V1818 Ori. This is a follow up devoted to explore the eastern edge of a ring of dust around Kappa Ori(a B0 V star) that embeds groups of YSOs to the west of the star itself. My preliminary analysis shows that also the group of V1818 Ori belongs to  the Kappa Ori cluster at 250 pc and is unrelated to the Mon R2 region to which it has been associated so far.

8 giugno ore 11.00  Seminario D. Coero Borga e S. Parisini La struttura di Comunicazione dell’INAF

Come sapete da maggio 2016 l’Inaf ha formalizzato una nuova struttura dedicata alla comunicazione. Com’è organizzata? Chi ci lavora? Cosa si intende per press release, news, conferenza stampa, embargo, comunicato congiunto, virgolettato e cose simili? A chi serve? E, soprattutto, perché parlano di qualunque cosa tranne che delle mie ricerche? Nel corso della prima parte di questo incontro, dedicata a tutti ma in particolare a ricercatrici e ricercatori (precari e non, dai laureandi agli associati già in pensione) tenteremo di soddisfare queste e altre curiosità e dubbi su due dei quattro compiti della struttura di comunicazione: ufficio stampa e Media Inaf. E di raccogliere i vostri suggerimenti. L’obiettivo è migliorare la comunicazione interna, riducendo al minimo i fraintendimenti e cercando di rendere il più possibile serene – magari perfino divertenti – le occasioni d’interazione con noi.
8 giugno ore 14.30 Seminario D. Coero Borga e S. Parisini Utilizzo di videocamera per la produzione di materiale multimediale

Il pomeriggio è dedicato ad una parte più tecnica – rivolta a chiunque ne abbia voglia ma in particolare a chi è interessato a produrre materiale multimediale (perlopiù video) per l’ufficio stampa, Media Inaf e Inaf-Tv – durate la quale daremo qualche rudimento sulle riprese video e faremo qualche simulazione d’intervista. Simulazioni che non verranno messe in rete, promesso: dunque massimo relax e nessun dress code.

SEMINARIO: Constraining the structure of the accretion-shock region in CTTS: possible XMM+HST observing program / Costanza Argiroffi (UNIPA/OAPA)
Sep 18 @ 15:00 – 16:00

Classical T Tauri stars are bright in the soft X-ray and far UV bands, because of large amounts of plasma at T~105-106 K, associated with the accretion-shock regions. Inspecting the emission from the shock region is important since it can potentially reveal fundamental properties of the accretion-stream material (i.e. geometry/density/velocity/abundances). However, the precise location of these hot plasmas (pre-shock? post-shock? different shock regions with different temperatures?) is still unclear. To constrain location and properties of these accretion-related hot plasmas, X-rays and UV observations are needed. The next XMM call (deadline 6 October 2017) offers the possibility to investigate this issue. I would like to discuss with you the opportunity to propose a joint XMM+HST program, focused on TW Hya, to perform time-resolved high-resolution spectroscopy on time scales down to 15 ks, simultaneously in the X-ray and UV bands. Correlated or uncorrelated variability of plasmas at 105 and 106 K will indicate whether or not they are located in the same accretion-shock regions. That will provide important constraints on the physical properties of the accretion streams in CTTS.

Exploring the importance of location and environment in star formation. Danae Polychroni (Universidad de Atacama – INAF-IAPS)
Oct 27 @ 15:00 – 17:00
Abstract:  The last few years have seen the advent of new technologies in the sub-mm and IR regimes that allow for unprecedented quality observations of star forming regions. As such we are finally able to produce statistically significant samples of star forming cores at the same time as mapping their surrounding environment with high spatial resolution. In this talk I will present results from the Herschel Space Observatory Gould Belt and HOBYs surveys that covered the Orion A Molecular Cloud complex and the W3 Giant Molecular Cloud. Both these regions contain intermediate to high mass star formation and a rich environment that includes triggered and spontaneous star forming regions as well as a plethora of filaments. We have obtained a statistically significant sample of star forming cores located in different environments and thus derived the properties both of the dense cores as well as their surrounding environment. As such, in this talk I will discuss the role of the environment in deciding the final mass of the forming stars with a focus in the presence of filaments and triggering phenomena in these two star forming regions.

The orbital and astrochemical signatures of giant planet migration around the Sun and beyond. Diego Turrini (INAF-IAPS – Universidad de Atacama)
Oct 30 @ 15:00 – 17:00

Abstract: For decades the Solar System has been our sole example of a planetary system, resulting in the classical view of planetary formation as a local, orderly process producing stable planetary systems. The ever growing sample of known exoplanets, however, has shown us the major role played by orbital migration and chaos in determining the evolution of planetary systems in our galaxy. This brought to questioning our very understanding of the history of the Solar System and to suggesting that it also could have undergone a more violent evolution than previously thought. In this talk I will describe how the compositional information on the planetary bodies of the Solar System can be used to shed new light on its past, illustrating the past and current investigations performed in the framework of the NASA missions Dawn and Juno, and I’ll discuss how the same principles, if not the same techniques, can be used to investigate of histories of extrasolar planets.
