    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...

    The Golden Mass of Galaxies and Black Holes
    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
    On December 25, 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope was launched from Earth towards its ultimate destination at the L2 Lagrange Point, 1.5 million kilometers...

    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...

    The multiple routes of galaxy transformation across the cosmic epochs
    In the local universe most of the stellar mass is in passive galaxies, where star formation isabsent or at very low levels. Understanding what are the...

    The origin of Fast X-ray Transients
    Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) are minute-to-hours long flashes of X-rays, first discovered serendipitously in X-ray satellite data (mainly Chandra and XMM-Newton...
