TalkDeriving model-based chemical abundances in ionized gaseos nebulae
There is an increasing multiplicity of proposed methodologies to derive chemical abundances in HII regions from the measurement of the relative fluxes of their...

TalkDusty supernovae running the thermodynamics of the matter reinserted by young stellar clusters
Following the observational and theoretical evidence that points at core collapse supernovae as major producers of dust, we calculate the hydrodynamics of the...

TalkFacing the Abundance Discrepancy in the Orion Nebula
The spectral analysis of HII regions allows one to determine the chemical composition of the ionized gas phase of the interstellar medium (ISM) from the solar...

TalkGenuine spectral energy distribution of active galactic nuclei
Spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the central few tens of parsec region of some of the nearest active galactic nuclei (AGN) are presented. Peering into...

TalkKinematics and dynamics of molecular gas in galaxies
Molecular hydrogen (H2) is a fundamental component of galaxies, being the most abundant element in molecular clouds, where stars form, and an important source...

TalkM43, the little sister of the Orion Nebula
We have selected the Galactic HII region M43, a close-by apparently spherical nebula ionized by a single star (HD37061, B0.5V) to investigate several topics of...
