Nowadays, it is widely accepted that most galaxies undergo an active phase in their evolution. The impact of the energy released by active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the interstellar medium (ISM) of the host galaxy has been proposed as a key mechanism responsible for regulating star formation (SF). The mid-infrared (IR) is the ideal spectral range to

Astrophysical observations at (sub)mm wavelengths (from ~300 micron to ~3mm) allow us to study the cold and dense material in the Universe, hence probing the formation of stars and planets, and the interstellar and circumgalactic medium within galaxies across cosmic time. The current generation of 15m-class single-dish telescopes has delivered some

Almost thirty years ago, we pointed out that there is a connection between the Sq-non additive entropies, introduced by Tsallis in 1988, and the polytropic distributions in stellar dynamics. This was the first application of the Sq entropies to a concrete physical problem. The Sq-polytropic connection stimulated diverse developments in physics and
