  1. 44. Do We Understand the Universe?
    Raul Jimenez (ICREA & ICC University of Barcelona)

    Talk

    Astronomical Surveys have brought us a major advance in our understanding of the Universe and its physical laws. All observations in the sky can be described by the standard model of cosmology with just six free parameters. However, description is not the same as understanding. Despite the phenomenal progress of astronomical surveys, only a few percentage of the sky has been surveyed. Future...

    Talk

    The launch of the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) on December 9 2021 has opened a new window in X-ray astronomy.
    IXPE is a NASA Small Explorer Mission in collaboration with the Italian Space Agency (ASI). The mission opened a new window of investigation including imaging x-ray polarimetry in the "bouquet" of astrophysical observables.
    The observatory features three identical...

  4. 45. New results from AGILE
    Dr Carlotta Pittori (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare)

    Talk

    AGILE is an Italian Space Agency (ASI) space mission devoted to gamma-ray observations in the 30 MeV - 50 GeV energy range, with simultaneous X-ray imaging in the 18-60 keV band. Launched in April 2007, the AGILE satellite is operating nominally in its 16th year in orbit, and it is substantially contributing to improve our knowledge of the high-energy gamma-ray sky.
    I will present the main...

    Talk

    During the Universe's childhood (from age ~0.5-2 billion years), most of its, still pristine, baryonic matter permeated the Intergalactic medium (IGM), filling the space between gently forming galaxies, nurturing them and in turn receiving heating photons from newly born stars and the first quasars.
    In this early phase of the Universe’s growth, a fraction of these primordial baryons...

  8. 33. Searching for New Physics with Local Measurements of the Hubble Constant
    David Jones (UC Santa Cruz)
    27/09/2022, 11:50
    Talk

    Apparent tension in the Hubble constant (H0) between the local distance ladder and the cosmic microwave background points toward a significant problem in the LCDM cosmological model. To better understand this tension, the SH0ES team (Supernovae and H0 for the Equation of State of dark energy) has recently improved the local measurement of H0 by 1) increasing the precision of geometric anchor...

  11. 32. New Mission Concept: Compton Telescope with Coded Aperture Mask, and its Science Perspectives
    Alexander Moiseev
    27/09/2022, 17:25
    Talk

    The Galactic Explorer with a Coded Aperture Mask Compton Telescope (GECCO) is a novel Explorer-class concept for a next-generation telescope covering the poorly explored hard X-ray and soft gamma-ray energies. This concept builds upon the heritage of past and current missions, improving sensitivity and, very importantly, angular resolution. GECCO uses the combined Coded Aperture Mask and...
