Hi!, I’m Sara Guerrero and I have been the last two months working in the StarFormMapper project at Quasar during my traineeship. During my stay my main task has been plotting the star positions and proper motions from Gaia together with the gas and dust from Herschel images. This is […]
My name is Helena García. During this summer I had the great opportunity to do a traineeship at Quasar SR. Quasar is collaborating in the StarFormMapper Project, a European H2020 RIA proyect, which was, by the time I joined , in the final phase of the software development. I had […]
The Sociedad Española de Astronomía (SEA) organized its XIII Scientific Annual Meeting in the city of Salamanca between the 16th and 20th of July 2018. This year the meeting took place at the Hospedería del Colegio Arzobispo Fonseca, as one of the acts taking place within the celebration of the VIII […]
I am Adrián, and I have just finished a traineeship at Quasar where I have spent the last three months working for the StarFormMapper Project. When I joined the project, the Quasar team was in the final phase of the software development. Quasar provides the software and technical support that […]
Star Cluster Formation: Mapping the first few Myrs We are pleased to announce a 2.5-days workshop on the formation and early evolution of star clusters that will be held in Grenoble, 29-31 August 2018. This will provide a forum for the star formation community to discuss the big issues of […]
The SFM Consortium is meeting at Leeds during the 18-19th of January 2018 to review the work that needs to be ready in preparation for the GAIA DR2. Below are some of the members of the Consortium attending the meeting. In this meeting Quasar is given an update on the […]
I am Irene J. M., and I had a traineeship this summer at Quasar SR. My favourite task was using Python to plot both the star positions and the proper motions from the Gaia data, alongside the gas and dust data from Herschel. The scientific value of this combination stands […]
It has been a year already since the Kick of Meeting at Cardiff of the H2020 StarFormMapper (SFM) project. We just had on the 14th of July 2017 the first year review meeting at the EC headquarters in Brussels. From left to Right: Jesús Salgado (Quasar Science Resources), […]
I’m Begoña, and I just finished my internship at Quasar. My main input to the SFM project has been to work in identifying a suitable star cluster with information in both GAIA and Herschel and look for GAIA catalogue data and dust map images from Herschel in both data archives […]
“Do you ever look up at the stars and try to contemplate the ends of the universe?” – Ruth Ahmed, When Ali Met Honour My name is Begoña, and I just started my internship at Quasar. I am an undergraduate at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, finishing […]
Star Cluster Formation: Mapping the first few Myrs Summary: A 2-day workshop, 14th-15th of June 2017, on the formation and early evolution of massive stars and their natal star clusters. Combining observation and theory, this workshop will tackle the the big issues of this field, including: the clustering of […]
The scientific work of the H2020 SFM project kicked off in London on the 4th and 5th of January 2017. The meeting took place at the Royal Astronomical Society in the William Herschel conference room. In a warm and collaborative atmosphere, the new team, made out of scientists and software […]
The annual Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems (ADASS) conference provides a forum for scientists and programmers concerned with algorithms, software and software systems employed in the acquisitions, reduction, analysis and dissemination of astronomical data. The 2016 ADASS conference is held 16-20 October at the Stazione Marittima Conference Centre, Trieste, Italy, […]
The H2020 StarFormMapper project kicked off on the 21st of July 2016 in Cardiff, UK. The four members of the Consortium, including Quasar S.R., met on a one day meeting at Cardiff University to start up the project and discuss the project expectations. The project has created a website where […]
A proposal with title A Gaia and Herschel Study of the Density Distribution and Evolution of Young Massive Star Clusters was submitted to the EC Horizon 2020 – Space call on April 2015. The proposal has just been accepted. The consortium is led by the University of Leeds, and has participation from […]
