Speaker: Arshia Maria Jacob Title : CH as a tracer for molecular hydrogen: forming synergies between its FIR and radio fingerprints Abstract: The existence of “CO-dark” molecular hydrogen has motivated the search for alternative chemical tracers for H2 in diffuse clouds. A search that resulted in the use and establishment of interstellar hydrides such as HF, […]

Speaker: Laura Vega Garcia Title: Space VLBI studies of internal structure and physical processes in extragalactic relativistic jets Abstract: 0836+710 is a high redshift quasar that was observed with extremely high resolution with space VLBI using RadioAstron at 1.6~GHz, and 22~GHz between October 2013 and January 2014. A spectral analysis, together with a kinematic analysis using […]

Speaker: Eric Faustino Jimenez-Andrade Title: Hot vs cold mode of star formation: New insights from radio continuum emission of galaxies over 0.35<z<2.25 Abstract: Most star-forming galaxies (SFGs) follow a tight correlation in the SFR-stellar mas plane; i.e. the “main-sequence” (MS) of SFGs. While the steady accretion of cold gas from the cosmic web (cold mode) is […]

Speaker: Abel Schootemeijer Title: Mixing processes in massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud Abstract: The evolution of massive stars, which are the progenitors of exciting phenomena such as (superluminous) supernovae and gravitational waves, critically depends on the efficiency of a number of internal mixing processes. Although some of these mixing processes are well-known and also […]
