3DMAP-VR: a project to develop 3D astrophysical models for Virtual Reality

The development of numerical models is a powerful method to explore properties and evolution of astrophysical objects, mainly for remote objects or when the necessary spatial details are higher than the resolution of modern telescopes. These models can be both hydrodynamical or magneto-hydrodynamical, depending on the importance of the effects related to the magnetic fields. In the last years, the

Confirmed around a 40 million years old star the youngest planet discovered by TESS so far

The final architecture of a planetary system is the result of a complex interplay between several processes, such as the dispersion of the protoplanetary disk from which the planetary system formed, and the gravitational interaction between the newborn planets. Besides, these processes can be affected by the environment and by their central star. One of the most important process dictating

IC 443: un caso unico di SNR con jet sovra-ionizzato

di Mario Giuseppe Guarcello    ( segui mguarce)     Lo studio dei resti di supernova, nubi formate dalle esplosioni di supernova, sono oggetti di grande interesse scientifico. Queste nebulose, infatti, non sono semplicemente il residuo di uno dei fenomeni più violenti che  avvengono nell’Universo (un’esplosione di supernova dal collasso di una stella massiva, ossia le “core-collapse supernovae”, produce un’energia pari
