Image Seminar Modelling bulk-viscotiy in NS mergers: hydrodynamic challenges Date 14/01 Place Pere Pascual V5.07 Room and via Zoom Abstract: In this talk I will discuss the challenges of modelling dissipative processes in binary neutron star merger simulations, with a focus on reaction-sourced bulk viscosity, likely the dominant dissipative effect. I will begin by reviewing the […]

Image Seminar The Low Surface Brightness Universe with Arrakihs and HARKONENS Date 26/01 Place DAM 7.24 Seminar Room Abstract: A large fraction of the information about galaxy formation is encoded in very faint stellar structures, such as diffuse galaxies, extended stellar halos, and low-mass satellites. These components are extremely difficult to observe, as they lie at […]

Image Seminar Anomaly Detection at Scale: From 30 Million to 1 Billion Sources Date 15/01 Place Pere Pascual V5.07 Room Abstract: Astrophysical anomalies – objects with unusual features, morphologies, or properties – are critical for understanding diverse processes including hierarchical assembly from mergers, environmental effects on galaxies, and cosmological effects such as lensing. To identify rare […]

Image Seminar Ionospheric studies using the LOFAR radio telescope Date 14/01 Place DAM 7.24 Seminar Room Abstract: The LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) is one of the world’s leading low-frequency radio telescopes. It consists of dozens of stations across Europe—each comprising hundreds of dipole antennas—with a dense core in the Netherlands. While LOFAR is currently undergoing an […]

Image Seminar Entanglement asymmetry and spontaneously broken symmetries Date 14/01 Place Pere Pascual V5.07 Room Abstract: Entanglement asymmetry is a relative entropy that faithfully measures the breaking of a symmetry in a subregion. We explore some applications in theories with spontaneously broken higher form symmetries. We will start with discrete abelian symmetries and then discuss continuous […]

ICN2 has collaborated in the development of this interactive web application, which makes it possible to analyse how sound propagates in solid materials and how magnetic fields influence this process. Go to Source

The hunting of large whales goes back much further in time than previously thought. New research from ICTA-UAB and the Department of Prehistory of the UAB reveals that Indigenous communities in southern Brazil were hunting large cetaceans 5,000 years ago, around a thousand years before the earliest documented evidence from Arctic and North Pacific societies. Go […]

Image Seminar Probing gravity with relativistic effects Date 22/01 Place Pere Pascual V5.07 Room Abstract: Theoretical approaches to large-scale structure strongly depend on the physical regimes considered. On large scales, relativistic effects become important as the standard Newtonian description breaks down. Moreover, these relativistic effects could open a new window for probing the nature of gravity. […]

Shell-model study of Si 28: Coexistence of oblate, prolate, and superdeformed shapes Frycz D.; Menéndez J.; Rios A.; Bally B.; Rodríguez T.R.; Romero A.M. Physical Review C, Vol. 110, Num. 054326 (2024) Article 10.1103/PhysRevC.110.054326 Go to Source

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) is leading a study that reveals twisted magnetic fields in the jet of OJ 287, a candidate for a supermassive black hole binary system located 4 billion light-years from Earth. Thanks to the EHT, the dynamic interaction between shock waves and helical pressure waves in the jet of […]

Image Credits Xènia Fuentes, Universitat de Barcelona Language English The University of Barcelona and the Bosch i Gimpera Foundation have honoured former ICCUB researcher Ivan Morera with the Ramon Margalef Award, recognizing his discovery of a new form of quantum magnetism known as kinetic magnetism. The award was presented on December 16th during the XXI […]
