From Thursday 16th to Saturday 18th of August 2018, a teacher training for secondary level teachers will be offered shortly before the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union. During this teacher training, four topics will be introduced in teaser…
This August, Vienna will welcome more than 3000 astronomers from over 88 countries at the general assembly of the International Astronomical Union. The conference includes also several events for the local community, free and open to the public. I am…
Mid- and far-infrared observations of the environment around embedded protostars reveal a plethora of high excitation molecular and atomic emission lines. In this paper recently accepted for publication in Astronomy & Astrophysics we present spectro-imaging observations of the HH211 system…
Star formation in the era of Herschel and ALMA: paving the way to JWST The birth of Sun-like stars is a complex process where several physical processes are involved but whose respective roles are not yet clear. On the one…
Ancient civilization is mainly related to and studied through arts and literature; technology is however an equally important aspect reflected in the degree of abstraction and complexity of antique devices. In this talk I will present a short overview of…
A new lecture focusing in the formation and role of solids in diverse astrophysical environments will be available in the fall of 2016. The wide spectrum of topics that will be covered, lectures will be given by specialists in different…
The star-formation feedback onto the parent cloud is conventionally examined through the study of molecular outflows. Little is however known on the effect that atomic ejecta, tracing fast shocks, can have on the global cloud properties. In this study we employ Herschel/PACS…
Our project JetPro* has been awarded full funding from the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) in the framework of the 12th Austrian Space Applications Programme (ASAP). In the following years we will have the opportunity to study the influence of protostellar ejecta…
I am happy to co-organize a 3-day symposium in the framework of the European Week of Astronomy and Space Science that this year will be held in Athens, Greece. The meeting will take place between 4 and 8 of July…
The database of the DiscAnalysis project is now online at a beta-test version. It contains a collection of panchromatic datasets of 85 protostellar sources including T-Tauris, transitional disks and HAeBe protostars. Each dataset spans from the X-rays to cm wavelengths…
