"The Evolution of Crustal Magnetic Fields in Isolated Radio Pulsars" The long term evolution of neutron star magnetic fields remains an important open problem in pulsar astrophysics, with direct implications for the observed properties of isolated radio pulsars. In this work, we investigate the...

Séminaire – Elena Shablovinskaia (MPIFR Bonn)
"AGN (spectro)polarimetry as a probe of black hole environments: from scattering regions to compact nuclear activity" Why do some supermassive black holes launch powerful relativistic jets while others remain radio-quiet? Magnetic fields are likely an important part of the answer, yet they...

Séminaire – Joanna Berteaud (Royal Holloway, University of London)
"Artificial Intelligence for Exceptional Interiors" Neutron stars are exceptionally dense. They offer a unique window into understanding the mysterious equation of state of dense matter, which can be probed via radio and X-ray observations of pulsars. Sudden spin-ups, mainly detected at radio...

Séminaire – Alba Covelo Paz (ObAS)
"Star formation in the first billion years: a James Webb Space Telescope perspective" The first billion years of cosmic history witnessed the formation and build-up of the first galaxies, likely through a bursty process characterised by stochastic bursts of star formation followed by more...

Séminaire – Gayathri Gururajan (SISSA)
"The role of environment in the star-formation and evolution of galaxies at Cosmic noon" The cosmic star-formation rate density, molecular gas density and the AGN activity of the Universe peak at z ∼ 2-3, showing the Universe is most active at this epoch. The nature of the galaxies at these...

Séminaire – Lina Necib (MIT)
"Dancing in the Dark: Data, Models, and the Milky Way's Dark Matter" In this talk, I will explore the interfacing of simulations, observations, and machine learning techniques to construct a detailed map of dark matter in the Milky Way, and argue that progress now hinges on the dance between...

Séminaire – Giacomo Cordoni (Australian National University, Canberra)
"Cores, Outskirts, and Streams: Probing the Formation and Evolution of Globular Clusters" Globular clusters are among the oldest stellar systems in the Universe, acting as long-lived fossils of the early stages of galaxy formation. Their ages, dynamics, and chemical patterns show that they were...
