Transients and Stellar Activity as Revealed by Ultraviolet Diagnostic Tracers

Richard de Grijs, Martin A. Barstow, Deepak Chahal +5

Ultraviolet (UV) observations offer unique insights into transient and variable astrophysical phenomena, from the Sun and nearby stars to supernovae and star-forming galaxies. Here…

Stellar wind impact on early atmospheres around unmagnetized Earth-like planets

Ada Canet, Jacobo Varela, Ana I. Gómez De Castro

Stellar rotation at early ages plays a crucial role in the survival of primordial atmospheres around Earth-mass exoplanets. Earth-like planets orbiting fast-rotating stars may unde…

Polarized microwave emission from space particles in the upper atmosphere of the Earth

Jennifer López-Viejobueno, Leire Beitia-Antero, Ana I. Gómez de Castro

Tons of space particles enter the Earth atmosphere every year, being detected when they produce fireballs, meteor showers, or when they impact the Earth surface. Particle detection…

Large-scale structures in the stellar wind of fast-rotating stars spawned by the presence of Earth-like planets

Ada Canet, Ana I. Gómez De Castro

Forming planets around young, fast-rotating solar-like stars are exposed to an intense X-ray/extreme ultraviolet radiation field and strongly magnetized stellar winds, as a consequ…

On the feasibility of studying the exospheres of Earth-like exoplanets by Lyman-alpha monitoring. Detectability constraints for nearby M stars

Ana I. Gomez de Castro, Leire Beitia-Antero, Sabina Ustamujic

Observations of the Earth's exosphere have unveiled an extended envelope of hydrogen reaching further than 10 Earth radii composed of atoms orbiting around the Earth. This large en…

Young Stellar Object candidates toward the Orion region selected from GALEX

Nestor Sanchez, Ana Ines Gomez de Castro, Fatima Lopez-Martinez +1

We analyze 359 ultraviolet tiles from the All Sky Imaging Survey of the space mission GALEX covering roughly 400 square degrees toward the Orion star-forming region. There is a tot…

The Hourglass as seen with HST/WFPC2

J. Maíz Apellániz, L. Úbeda, R. H. Barbá +3

We present a multi-filter HST/WFPC2 UV-optical study of the Hourglass region in M8. We have extracted the stellar photometry of the sources in the area and obtained the separations…

WSO/UV: World Space Observatory/Ultraviolet

M. Hernanz, R. Gonzalez-Riestra, W. Wamsteker +13

We summarize the capabilities of the World Space Observatory (UV) Project (WSO/UV). An example of the importance of this project (with a planned launch date of 2007/8) for the stud…
