In the last years, ground-based and space observations are bringing a wealth of constraints on the chemical composition of exoplanet atmospheres. Chemical...

Globular clusters (GCs) are fascinating objects nearly as old as the Universe that provide insight on a large variety of astrophysical and cosmological...

The discovery of dark matter (DM) followed cosmic gravitational observation (Zwicky, 1933), which remains inconsistent within known physics. Solar system...

Relativistic jets are amongst the most important and powerful phenomena in astrophysics, and yet also amongst the least understood. Most well known in the...

Matter ejection, in the form of either winds or jets, is ubiquitous in accreting X-ray binaries. Although it is clear that accretion and ejection are profoundly...

Over the past five years, numerical simulations of galaxy formation have quietly passed a key milestone. The latest cosmological simulations are now able to...

This talk will address the preferred mass and time for galaxy formation, in dark-matter haloes similar to that of the Milky way but when the Universe was a few...
