We find that a significant intrinsic Beff was present in all Type 1 AGNs in our sample. Moreover, we do not see strong differences in intrinsic Beff slopes in different types of AGNs, which probably have different physical properties such as inclination, broad line region (BLR) geometry, or accretion rate.

The detailed evolution of exoplanetary atmospheres has been the subject of decade-long studies. Only recently, investigations began on the possible atmospheric mass loss caused by the activity of galactic central engines. This question has so far been explored without using available exoplanet data. Aims. The goal of this paper is to improve our knowledge of the erosion of exoplanetary atmospheres through radiation from super- massive black holes (SMBHs) undergoing an active galactic nucleus (AGN) phase. Methods. To this end, we extended the well-known energy-limited mass-loss model to include the case of radiation from AGNs. We set the fraction of incident power available to heat the atmosphere as either constant ( = 0:1) or flux dependent ( = (FXUV)). We calculated the possible atmospheric mass loss for 54 known exoplanets (of which 16 are hot Jupiters residing in the Galactic bulge and 38 are Earth-like planets (EPs)) due to radiation from the Milky Way’s (MW) central SMBH, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), and from a set of 107,220 AGNs generated using the 33,350 AGNs at z < 0:5 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey database.

The programme was initiated in 2009 as an Erasmus Mundus Masters Course and is now continuing within the framework of the new Erasmus+ programme of the European Union. The Masters Course is offered by a consortium of 5 partner universities in Austria, Italy, Germany, and Serbia, with the participation of 4 research institutions as associated partners in Italy, Serbia, and Germany. The main objective of the programme is to provide top-ranked students with an excellent background in Astrophysics, to introduce them to the world of modern astrophysical research, and foster their future career in this field. At the same time, in the spirit of the Erasmus Mundus programmes, we promote cultural exchanges between non-European and European students and academics. AstroMundus students carry out their master studies in at least 2 and up to four of these countries, in a stimulating and scientifically excellent international environment. The official language of the course is English, but students are given the possibility to learn the languages of the host countries by attending language courses at the partner universities. Successful students will be awarded a Joint Master Degree by all partner universities they have visited during the Master studies. In addition they will obtain a Diploma Supplement to facilitate the recognition of their degree in other universities/countries.

Each year the IAYC takes place in a different location in Europe. About sixty-five people from all over the world live and work together for the duration of the camp. Participants are between 16 and 24 years old (16 and 24 included) and all share a common interest: astronomy. The IAYC is different from other astronomical camps for two reasons: (1) the international atmosphere and (2) the fact that you will carry out your own small research project. You will not just accept facts, but you will discover them yourself while working together with other people. The IAYC is not like a typical astronomical summer school. Every participant, with his or her own cultural background, forms an integral piece in the complex puzzle that is camp life. Therefore the success of the camp will also depend on your contribution! IWA – The Organisation Participants behind the IAYC To participate in the IAYC you must be 16 to 24 years old (16 and 24 included).

Montmerle, ed. doi:10.1017/S1743921314012125 Astronomy development in Serbia in view of the IAU Strategic Plan Olga Atanackovi´c Department of Astronomy, Faculty of Mathematics, University of Belgrade email: [email protected] Abstract. An overview of astronomy development in Serbia in view of the goals envisaged by the IAU Strategic Plan is given. Due attention is paid to the recent reform of education at all levels. In the primary schools several extra topics in astronomy are introduced in the physics course. Attempts are made to reintroduce astronomy as a separate subject in the secondary schools. Special emphasis is put to the role and activities of the Petnica Science Center the biggest center for informal education in SE Europe, and to a successful participation of the Serbian team in International astronomy olympiads. Astronomy topics are taught at all five state universities in Serbia. At the University of Belgrade and Novi Sad students can enroll in astronomy from the first study year. The students have the training at the Ondrejov Observatory (Czech Republic) and at the astronomical station on the mountain Vidojevica in southern Serbia. Astronomy research in Serbia is performed at the Astronomical Observatory, Belgrade and the Department of Astronomy, Faculty of Mathematics, University of Belgrade. There are about 70 researchers in astronomy in Serbia (and about as many abroad) who participate in eight projects financed by the Ministry of Education and Science and in several international cooperations and projects: SREAC, VAMDC, Belissima (recruitment of experienced expatriate researchers), Astromundus (a 2-year joint master program with other four European universities), LSST.
