TalkGamma rays from Young Stellar Objects
In the last years star-forming regions and massive protostars have been suggested to be gamma-ray emitters. Isolated massive protostars present powerful...

TalkGlobular clusters systems and their host dark matter halos
In the Λ-CDM galaxy formation paradigm, the star formation history of a galaxy is coupled to the total mass of its dark matter halo through processes like...

TalkGRB 101225A: a stellar murder on Christmas Day
Long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most dramatic examples of massive stellar deaths, usually associated with supernovae ( Woosley et al. 2006). They release...

TalkGTC OSIRIS spectroscopy of a faint L subdwarf identified in UKIDSS
In this Breaking News seminar, I will describe our project dedicated to the search for ultracool low-metallicity dwarfs (or subdwarfs) in the large-scale...

TalkGTC OSIRIS z-band imaging of Y dwarfs
The stellar spectroscopic sequence has now been extended into very cool objects bridging the gap between low-mass stars and classical planets. Those objects...

TalkGTC/OSIRIS spectroscopic confirmation of the first L dwarf in Praesepe
Fundamental properties of brown dwarfs, such as luminosity and effective temperature, evolve with age. Large samples of spectroscopically-confirmed substellar...

TalkHertzsprung-Russell Diagram: from massive Wolf-Rayet stars to stripped helium stars
"Classical Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars" represent a class of hot, hydrogen-depleted stars wtih powerful stellar winds and are prominent progenitors of black holes...

TalkHot Bubbles in Nebulae around Evolved Stars: probing stellar evolution
In this talk we will present our most recent numerical and observational results on the formation, evolution, and X-ray emission from hot bubbles in nebulae...
