Magnetar candidates: new discoveries open new questions
I will review our current knowledge of soft gamma repeaters (SGR) and anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXP), two peculiar classes of pulsars believed to be 'magnetars'...
Magnetic field components analysis of the SCUPOL 850 microns polarization data catalog
I will present an extensive analysis of the 850 microns (353 GHz) polarization maps of the SCUBA Polarimeter Legacy (SCUPOL) Catalogue produced by Matthews et...
Approximately 10 per cent of massive OBA main-sequence (MS) and pre-MS stars harbour strong, large-scale magnetic fields. At the same time, there is a dearth of...
Recent observations of the solar atmosphere have provided new insights concerning medium-sized jet phenomena taking place in the solar corona. These jets are...
Magnetic fields at galactic and larger scales is a challenging issue for astrophysics and cosmology. In this talk, I'll review the methods to detect magnetic...
Based on radial profiles, disk can be divided into three categories:Type I, classical single exponential (10%); Type II, down-bending joint exponential (60%)...
Masgomas-1: Discovery of a young, obscured and massive stellar cluster
I am going to present the new massive and obscured cluster Masgomas-1. This cluster, discovered by our group formed by astronomers from the IAC and CEFCA, is...
Mass, age and metallicity of the central star of the multiple system HR8799
The multiple system HR8799 was the first multiple system discovered using direct imaging. In addition, this system has a debris disk with two rings, the central...
Massive Runaway and Walkaway Stars: Space Astrometry from Gaia and Hubble
The existence of apparently isolated massive stars has been recognized for some time, and various explanations have been proposed to explain these ranging from...
