Description
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) has created the Office of for Astronomy Outreach (IAU-OAO). Its mission is to promote and coordinate the activities of astronomy outreach worldwide. For this purpose, the IAU-OAO has established a network of partners based on what was established to celebrate the International Year of Astronomy (IYA2009). The nodes of this new network (IAU National Outreach Contacts, IAU-NOC) act as National Contact Points (NCPs) statewide and their mission is to contribute to the implementation of the objectives of the IAU-OAO. The commitment of the NOC is a three-year renewal charge. The replacement or the renewal will occur during the celebration of the relevant General Assembly of the IAU. In the case of Spain, the Comisión Nacional de Astronomía (CNA) decided to appoint a Vice-NOC and NOC and the relay will occur during the next IAU General Assembly to be held in Honolulu in August 2015.

    Convection, rotation, and magnetic activity of solar-like stars from asteroseismology
    During the last decade, our understanding of stellar physics and evolution has undergone a tremendous revolution thanks to asteroseismology. Space missions such as CoRoT, Kepler, K2, and TESS have already been observing millions of stars providing high-precision photometric data. With these data, it is possible to study the convection of stars

    Tales of stellar & binary co-evolution, told by stellar oscillations
    Stellar binarity and stellar oscillations are mostly seen and studied as two separate phenomena. Sometimes, one process is even complicating the analysis of the other beyond the liking of one or the other research community. However, the complete picture painted by the physical constraints provided by the combination of both processes represents a

    The Multimodal Universe: 100 TB of Machine Learning Ready Astronomical Data
    We present the Multimodal Universe, a new framework collating over 100 TB of multimodal astronomical data for its first release, spanning images, spectra, time series, tabular and hyper-spectral data. This unified collection enables a wide variety of machine learning (ML) applications and research across astronomical domains. The dataset brings
