Solar interior and solar dynamo

The study of solar acoustic modes over the last decades has allowed the interior ofour star to be reconstructed with extreme accuracy (stratification, internal rotation andcomposition), providing critical information on its evolution, composition, dynamics andactivity. The contribution from helioseismology has also been fundamental in the solution of the solar neutrino problem, providing an experimental confirmation of the Standard Solar Model. Italian astronomers have been involved in studies and observations of solar oscillations for many years, participating in the largest helioseismological experiments. The Italian helioseismology community is one of the 10 members of the "HELAS" network, the European Helio and Asteroseismology Network.

GRB-SN Association within the Binary-Driven Hypernova Model The GRB-SN association, probably the most constraining property of GRB theoretical models, is the subject of a new article by an ICRA-ICRANet collaboration, accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal

The polyhedric scientist and his sharp tones

Sep 08, 2023

Tomaso Belloni passed away suddenly on August 26th. He was a leading scientist of the Italian astrophysics community and was well known internationally for his work on compact objects in the X-ray and gamma-ray bands
