1. Dynamics of Core Collapse Supernovae: Simulations, Observations, and Detectability

Marco Cusinato

1/3/24 10:00

Core collapse supernovae (CCSNe) mark the dramatic conclusion of massive stars' lives, serving as captivating laboratories for multi-messenger astrophysics, including neutrino and gravitational wave emissions, as well as the synthesis of heavy elements. Despite their significance, comprehending these events poses formidable challenges across theoretical, observational, and computational realms...

2. Exploring magnetic field geometry in binary neutron stars: Implications for short gamma-ray bursts

Inês Andrade Rainho

In 2017, the coordinated detection of gravitational waves by three interferometers (event GW170817) made it possible to triangulate the position of the source and therefore look for electromagnetic signals in that area of the sky. This detection was followed by a multitude of electromagnetic signals, including a short-gamma ray burst and a kilonova. These combined detections paved the way for...

3. Studying the nonlinearities in the delta Scuti Stars through Asteroseismology

Miriam Rodríguez Sánchez

Asteroseismology is the study of the interior of stars through their pulsations and oscillations, much like Seismology studies the interior of the Earth. By delving into stellar pulsations, researchers can obtain relevant physical information about the stars' evolution, chemical composition, and internal processes such as convection or magnetic fields.

Delta Scuti stars are pulsating stars...
