Speaker: I. Pillitteri (INAF-OAPA) Titolo: MHD numerical simulations of Star-Planet Interaction related  phenomena Abstract: The discovery of close-in planets (orbiting within 0.1 AU) since the beginning of the exoplanetary astronomy arises the question of which phenomena could be related to Star-Planet interaction (SPI). On a theoretical basis SPI is expected to act through tidal and magnetic interaction. In the talk I

Titolo: Use of supervised machine learning for determination of redshifts of  Gamma-Ray Bursts Abstract: Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) by virtue of their high luminosities are observed up to redshift z=9.4 (Cucchiara et al. 2011), far beyond the most distant quasars or galaxies. and thus have the potential to be vital cosmological probes of earlier processes in the universe, such as reionization, evolution
