Title: ALMA follow-up of ∼3,000 red-Herschel galaxies: the nature of extreme submillimeter galaxies.
Abstract: Understanding the physical properties of Submillimeter Galaxies (SMGs), as well as their formation and evolution within the large-scale structure of the Universe, is a challenging task even these days. These galaxies, which have extreme infrared luminosities (L$_IR$>10^{12} L$_{\odot}$) and intense star formation rates (SFR>100 M$_{\odot}$/yr), are known to contribute significantly to the cosmic star formation history at z>2.
In this work, we present the analysis of over 3,000 red-Herschel sources (𝑆_250𝜇m < 𝑆_350𝜇m < 𝑆_500𝜇m ) using public data from the ALMA archive and the Herschel-ATLAS survey. This represents the largest sample of red-Herschel sources with interferometric follow-up observations to date.
The high ALMA angular resolution and sensitivity allow us to classify the sample into individual sources, potential lenses and/or close mergers, and multiple systems. Some of these multiple systems are likely galaxy overdensities at the same redshifts tracing high-redshift galaxy proto-clusters.
We performed spectral energy distribution (SED) fits for all the sources, combining the ALMA 1.3 mm fluxes and the optimized Herschel/SPIRE photometry (extracted through a deblending technique). This allows us to derive different physical properties (e.g. redshift distribution, LIR, SFR, gas/dust masses, etc) and characterize the extreme nature of this population. The main results from this large survey and recent follow-ups with the VLA and LMT will be presented in this talk.

Title: Numerical Challenges in Computational Astrochemistry
Abstract: Astrophysical numerical models encounter substantial computational challenges when integrating complex, time-dependent chemistry with physical processes. To address these issues, I will present the use of autoencoders for the dimensionality reduction of chemical networks, enabling efficient solutions with standard ODE solvers while preserving key network features. Additionally, I will discuss the application of interpretable machine learning techniques to connect synthetic spectra with model parameters, facilitating the assessment of information retention in observational data.

Title:Powerful supernovae from collapses of rotating massive stars
Abstract: Massive stars, with more than about ten times the mass of the Sun, eventually become gravitationally unstable and begin to collapse. Some of these collapsing stars explode as supernovae, which then leave behind neutron stars. However, in cases where the collapsing core of the star is too compact, the explosion can fail, leading to the formation of a black hole instead.

When the star rotates rapidly, the stellar envelope can form a disk around this new black hole. This black hole-disk system may release energy, and it is thought to be a key driver of gamma-ray bursts — intense, brief flashes of gamma rays from space. Some gamma-ray bursts are followed by unusually powerful supernovae, with energy about ten times higher than typical supernovae. How this large amount of energy and radioactive nickel, which makes these supernovae so bright, are produced is still a mystery.

Over recent decades, it has been suggested that outflows from the disk around the black hole might explain these energetic supernovae. With advances in computer simulations, we can now model complex processes, including fluid dynamics, neutrino interactions, and changing spacetime, to test this idea. My simulations show that the disk outflows in these “collapsar” systems can indeed produce the powerful explosion energy and the large amount of nickel seen in these exceptional supernovae.

Title:Probing the earliest stage of planet formation

Abstract: It is commonly accepted that planets are formed in disks around young stars in the course of star formation. This indicates that the formation of planets is closely associated with the formation of stars. Despite significant advancements in our understanding of planet formation in recent years, the link between this process and star formation has remained unclear. This is because previous studies of planet formation have concentrated on objects that are mostly in the Class II stage of star formation, where the primary processes of star formation, such as mass infall and accretion, have largely been completed. As a consequence, a fundamental question pertaining to planet formation—namely, “when and how planet formation occurs during star formation”—remains unanswered. However, recent studies have suggested that planet formation may occur earlier than the Class II stage, i.e., the Class 0/I stage, where the central star is still deeply embedded in a natal dense molecular core. In this presentation, I will discuss early planet formation in embedded disks, with an emphasis on our ALMA large program, eDisk, which is studying early planet formation in a more systematic manner at a high angular resolution.

Title: The contribution of the faint Lyman alpha galaxies to cosmic reionization as seen by MUSE/VLT

Abstract:
At the end of the Dark Ages, when the first structures of the Universe were formed,
radiation from these structures ionized the neutral hydrogen atom surrounding
its environment. This crucial phase is known as cosmic re-ionization. It is the last phase
transition undergone by the Universe, finishing around z~6. Today, various hypotheses
exist concerning the main contributors to this process, such as Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN),
star-forming galaxies, etc. I assess the contribution of the star-forming galaxies to cosmic
reionization by studying the evolution of the luminosity function with redshift, estimating
their star formation rate density as well as the escape fraction of Lyman alpha photon
at different redshift ranges through the use of VLT/MUSE as well as gravitational lensing.
For this purpose, the work assembles the largest sample of lensed Lyman-alpha emitters: faint
galaxies identified by the Lyman-α emission line (LAEs) to date (at redshifts between 2.9 and 6.7).
The best-fit results of the Schechter function at different redshift ranges allow us to determine
the luminosity density and convert it to the star formation rate density. These results, compared
with those of the critical value for the star formation density, suggest that galaxies selected by their
Lyα emission could be responsible for reionization assuming a Lyα photon escape fraction of 8%,
with a typical clumping factor of ∼ 3. On the other hand, when assessing the escape fraction of Lyman
alpha photons from star-forming galaxies we found that the LAE population could have provided
all the photons necessary for reionisation at z=6 using well-motivated assumptions about the ionising
photon efficiency and the escape of ionising photons from these galaxies.

Title:Accretion and outflows in the Gamma Ray Bursts central engines

Abstract:Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are powered by transient jets launched by a central engine.
The plausible model of such engine is based on a black hole surrounded by the magnetized accretion disk.
This model explains various phenomenology of GRBs, such as its energetics, durations, and jet structure.
In addition, the neutrino-cooled winds from the central engine are found to be sites of r-process nucleosynthesis.
In this talk, I will present results of numerical simulations performed by our group at Center for Theoretical Physics in Warsaw. Our models address formation of the GRB engine through the compact binary mergers, as well as collapsar scenarios. I will dicuss the broad band emissions of GRBs jets and disk outflows. The prospects for multimessenger astrophysical phenomena will also be briefly presented.

Title:Hidden cataclysms in the infrared sky

Abstract: Multiplicity is ubiquitous in stars and the remnants they leave behind. While eruptive mass transfer has profound impacts on their long term evolution, the resulting processes are commonly enshrouded in dust produced by mass outflows, preventing direct observational constraints at optical/X-ray/UV bands. In pursuit of a complete census of the role of accretion outbursts in stellar and black hole evolution, I will present the WISE Transients Project (WTP) — a new effort aimed at a complete census of the variable mid-infrared sky using 15 years of data from the NEOWISE survey. With systematic selection from millions of new infrared variables, I will highlight recent and ongoing work revealing i) a missed population of dusty stellar mergers in our Galactic backyard, ii) new insights into the fiery fates of close planetary worlds, iii) the birth of black holes from dusty eruptions of stripped stars and iv) the growth of supermassive black holes via tidal captures of stars in Galactic nuclei. I will end with an overview of the exciting upcoming decade of infrared surveys that is poised to finally reveal a complete roadmap from stellar birth to the stellar graveyard.

Title: Where 3-dimensional analysis matters: dust distribution in protoplanetary disks under planet-disk interactions

Abstract:
Protoplanetary disks are the birthplaces of planets. However, these disks also
embed young planets, making them extremely difficult to detect. Substructures
within the disks, especially those observed in millimeter-wavelength dust thermal emissions, such as gaps and rings, have been used to suggest the presence of planets.
Nevertheless, planet-disk interactions are not the only mechanisms that can explain these features. Therefore, distinguishing substructures caused by planets from those of other origins is crucial for current planet-hunting efforts and understanding the planet formation process. In this talk, I will summarize our recent studies on dust dynamics under planet-disk interactions, utilizing three-dimensional numerical simulations.
Our findings show that incorporating the vertical dimension in planet-disk models reveals a wealth of dynamics, leading to possible characteristic features in observations.

Title:The 100-year endeavor for observing the Universe’s most energetic particles

Abstract: Clarifying origins and acceleration mechanisms of the most energetic
particles in the universe has been over-100-year endeavor, being one of the
most intriguing mysteries in an interdisciplinary research among
astroparticle physics, high-energy physics and nuclear physics. Since
ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are deflected less strongly by the
Galactic and extra-galactic magnetic fields due to their enormous kinetic
energies, their arrival directions would be correlated with their origins. A
next-generation “astronomy” using UHECRs is hence a potentially viable
probe to disentangle mysteries of extremely energetic phenomena in the
nearby universe.
In my talk, I will give an introduction of cosmic-ray physics, detection
techniques, history over 100 years, the latest results of the Telescope
Array experiment and ongoing upgrades, including the detection of an
extremely high-energy cosmic ray, dubbed “Amaterasu” particle. I will share
a new interdisciplinary project for combining the Subaru telescope and
cosmic ray detectors to decipher details of extensive air showers, dubbed
Air-shower Lensing Observatory at High Altitude (ALOHA).
