We describe how a simple class of out of equilibrium, rotating and asymmetrical mass distributions evolve under their self-gravity to produce a quasi-planar...
Transitioning from Science to Industry - Hurdles, Pros and Cons
After a scientific career spanning over 10 years, in November 2014, I finally decided to leave scientific work behind and join a company. In this talk, I will...
Triggered star formation on the borders of H II regions
The formation of massive stars is not fully understood. The high luminosity and temperature of massive protostars complicate the accretion mechanism at work in...
In the 50 years since their discovery, it has become increasingly recognised that quasars are not merely signposts to the distant Universe, but also play a key...
Truncations in stellar disks and warps in HI-layers in spiral galaxies
Disks in spiral galaxies consist of stars and gas. The stellar disks show radially an exponential surface brightness distribution (and vertically one resembling...
Tsunami in the Procedure Room, the Growing Challenge of Managing Data in Image Guided Interventions and Surgery
The amount of data available in image guided medical interventions and surgeries is growing at a rapid rate. More data per device and more devices present...
Twinkle – a low-Earth orbit visible and infrared exoplanet spectroscopy observatory
The Twinkle Space Mission is a space-based observatory that has been conceived to measure the atmospheric composition of exoplanets, stars and solar system...
We review some ideas and facts and disputes related to the research about the stellar density distribution in the Galactic bulge in the last decades: the...
Ultraluminous Supersoft X-ray sources as super-critical accretion onto stellar black holes
While ultraluminous supersoft X-ray sources (ULSs) bear features for intermediate mass black holes or very massive white dwarfs possibly close to Chandrasekhar...
