Chi Yan Law

The “DRAMA” about star formation pdf

In this brief talk, I will introduce myself and share my journey in studying how stars form.

 

Andrea Celati

The impact of nuclear equations of state on extreme core-collapse supernovae pdf

The gravitational collapse of massive stars at the end of their lives leads to powerful supernova explosions. These events form new stellar-mass compact objects, regulate the dynamics of their host galaxies, and produce heavy elements that contribute to the chemical evolution of the Universe. The goal of our work is to quantify the impact of the nuclear equation of state used to model dense matter have on the multi-messenger emission, including neutrinos and gravitational waves.

The strange case of a Biotechnologist at Arcetri pdf

Come join us to understand why a biotechnologist from Padova ended up working on the possibility of photosynthesis on extrasolar planets and in the search for life on Mars!

Guided tours in Arcetri: status, future perspectives and how to contribute pdf

For many years, the Arcetri Observatory has been organizing a robust program of guided tours for the public. Thousands of primary and secondary school students, as well as adults, have visited the observatory, experiencing firsthand the research carried out in our institute and learning its history. In this brief talk, I will describe how this program is organized, highlighting its successes and challenges. I will also explain how and why anyone can contribute and, finally, outline possible future developments.
