Speaker: Andrea Bonfanti (Austrian Academy of Sciences, Graz, Austria) Title: Insights into the M-dwarf radius and density valley Abstract M dwarfs are quite attractive in the domain of exoplanetology: Because of their low mass and small radius, it is easier to detect low-mass planets with the transit method and the radial velocity (RV) technique. In addition, it is more likely that the

 

Speaker Dominique Meyer (Institute of Space Sciences ICE, CSIC, Campus UAB, Barcelona, Spain) Titolo: “Supernova remnants of massive stars” Abstract: Stars more massive than our Sun by at least a factor of ten are rare but seminal objects in galaxies such our Milky Way. Their powerful radiation, stellar winds, and explosive deaths are dominant engines driving the cycle of matter in the interstellar medium

Speaker: F. Mirabello  (INAF) Titolo: Il Cerchio di Ramsden, un prodigio tecnologico Abstract:  IL CERCHIO DI RAMSDEN, UN PRODIGIO TECNOLOGICO  Più di 30 anni fa, Paolo Brenni (1954-2021), esperto di strumentazione scientifica di fama internazionale, si recava a Palermo presso l’Osservatorio Astronomico “G. S. Vaiana” per valutare lo stato conservativo del più importante strumento storico dell’Osservatorio, il cerchio astronomico altazimutale realizzato

 

Speaker: Manami Sasaki (Universita’ di Bamberg – Germania) Titolo: The hot phase of the interstellar medium Abstract: The interstellar medium (ISM) is heated and ionized by radiation, by stellar winds, and finally, by supernova explosions of massive stars. Since these processes are often correlated in space and time, they can form large interstellar structures called superbubbles, which are filled with

SHARP – A Near-IR Multi-mode Spectrograph Conceived for the Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics Module MORFEO@ELT Abstract: The world’s largest aperture combined with state-of-the-art Adaptive Optics systems will enable the ELT to capture better data than the JWST in both sharpness and depth. Therefore, the spectrograph intended for the 2nd port of the Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) system MORFEO@ELT will be the
