Institute of Space Sciences Annual Report 2017 Institute of Space Sciences Annual Report 2017 An institute of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient´ıficas(CSIC). Affiliated with the Institut d'Estudis Espacials de Catalunya (IEEC). Credit of the figure: Raining gas clouds on to a binary of two supermassive black holes. This figure comes from a suite of smoothed-particle-hydrodynamic simulations to study the formation and evolution of gaseous structures around a MBHB constantly perturbed by the incoherent infall of molecular clouds. We conclude that the formation of of extended circumbinary structures around the binary is challenging, to say the least (taken from arXiv:1801.06179, based on research done at the Institute in 2017).

CSIC is the largest public institution dedicated to research in Spain and the third largest in Europe, and depends on the central government. CSIC has about 6% of all the staff dedicated to Research and Development in Spain, and they generate approximately 20% of all scientific production in the country. ICE is part of a new breed of research centers. It was officially created on January 17, 2008 (BOE #15, 3507, Orden ECI/4063/2007, of December 27, 2007), based on a proposal made about a decade before by the Governance of CSIC (Acta #11, 11/99). Thus, in 2018, the Institute would have been formally active for just 10 years. The Institute of Space Sciences articulates CSIC's participation in the confederation of independent institutes affiliated with the `Institut d'Estudis Espacials de Catalunya' (IEEC). This is a non-for-profit foundation, founded in February 1996. Thus, ICE benefits from the interaction and collaboration with both the larger CSIC structure as well as with the Catalan community and government. The Director of the Institute of Space Sciences is at once, co-Director of the IEEC, while currently, one other member of ICE is executive Director of IEEC. In 2015, ICE moved to a new facility located at the campus of the Universitat Aut`onomade Barcelona. This building (property of CSIC and built on purpose for our Institute) has 3500 square meters of useful space, distributed in laboratories and offices. In November 2017, there were 74 persons working full time at ICE. Of these, 17 were faculty members, 2 were staff engineers, 4 were senior Ram´ony Cajal fellows (long-term, positions reminiscent to a tenure track), 32 were postdocs and engineers, and 12 were PhD students. Five administration personnel gave support to operate the institute on a day-to-day basis. Constantly updated information on personnel numbers can be obtained from our website: http://www.ice.csic.es/ 1.2 Status The Institute of Space Sciences is making great efforts towards consolidating itself as a reference center in European research. This annual Report gives a brief summary of our activities, reflected in a large productivity in deep theo- retical, observational, and experimental research. The Institute recently appointed (in 2016) its first International Advisory Committee, whose members are world- renown scientists, directors of institutes in other European countries: • Karsten Danzmann, Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics, Hannover. Expert on Gravitational Waves physics, is Director of the Division of Laser Interferometry and Gravitational Wave Astronomy. • Manuel Mart´ın-Neira,(ESA/ESTEC) Earth Observation, ESA Senior Staff Scientist. Expert on Earth observa- tions, has been SMOS Principal Engineer, member of the Academie des Technologies of France. • Luigi Stella, INAF - Osservatorio Astronomico di Roma, Italy, Full Professor Expert on high energy astrophysics. Editor of the Astrophysical Journal Letters. OMRI Commander (Italy) and Full Astronomer / Professor at INAF. • Giuseppina Micela, Director, Osservatorio di Palermo. Expert on Planets and Exoplanets, clusters and star formation. Has been also a member of several steering committees in X-ray space missions. 5 Institute of Space Sciences 6 • Michael F. Bode, Astrophysics Research Institute, John Moores University, Former Director. Expert on Novae and Supernovae and robotic observatories. Professor of Astrophysics. Has been leader in ASTRONET (the European Roadmap for Astronomy). They visited the institute for a few days in early 2017 (May 9-11, 2017), and analyzed our research in detail, writ- ing a comprehensive report. What this report unveiled was their unanimous surprise on us being a mid-to-small-size institute, yet versatile and with extremely productive personnel, allowing us to excel in so many different research avenues and instrumental endeavours. Indeed, our main asset is the ability to produce cutting-edge theoretical modelling of what we study observationally, with instruments we help building. This three-fold

While these first satellites returned a wealth of new data, they were limited by the tiny 11 kilogram (25 Explorer S-1 was launched from Cape Canaveral on pound) payload capability of the Juno I.

Bordeaux, CNRS, UMR 5804, 33615 Pessac, France Received 26 May 2017 / Accepted 29 January 2018 ABSTRACT Context. The Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS) subset of the first Gaia catalogue contains an unprecedented sample of proper motions and parallaxes for two million stars brighter than G 12 mag. Aims. We take advantage of the full astrometric solution available∼ for those stars to identify the members of known open clusters and compute mean cluster parameters using either TGAS or the fourth U.S. Naval Observatory CCD Astrograph Catalog (UCAC4) proper motions, and TGAS parallaxes. Methods. We apply an unsupervised membership assignment procedure to select high probability cluster members, we use a Bayesian/Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique to fit stellar isochrones to the observed 2MASS JHKS magnitudes of the member stars and derive cluster parameters (age, metallicity, extinction, distance modulus), and we combine TGAS data with spectroscopic radial velocities to compute full Galactic orbits.
