The delicate interplay between accretion, ejection and magnetism in neutron stars X-ray binaries
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...
The Emergence of Dwarf Galaxies, Star Clusters and Something In-between
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...
The James Webb Space Telescope: a cosmic story for the ages

Exactly a hundred years ago, in January 1926, Schr ödinger established the famous equation bearing his name which mark ed the birth of quantum physics . Among...
The Mass Accretion Rate on Young Stellar Objects: the challenge of the early stages
One of the most fundamental questions in astronomy is how stars, the building blocks of the Universe, form. We generally understand that stars emerge from dense...
