Graduation day at Yachay Tech University! We have 32 more #ISYA alumni now! #ISYA46 International School for Young Astronomers 2025 Ecuador 🔭
Today at #ISYA46 we have lectures on Virtual Observatory by Thiago S. Gonçalves @astrogoncalves.bsky.social (Valongo, UFRJ, Brazil) ... lots of progress in the computer room #ISYA
Today at #ISYA46 , among other topics, how to write a scientific paper by #ISYA Deputy Director David Mota (Univ Oslo, Norway) with lots of interesting bibliography! 🔭
Our local director of #ISYA46 Nicolás Vázquez (EPN, #Ecuador) starts his course on Cultural Astronomy, on the social value of doing #Astronomy 🔭 #ISYA
But he is also into #Astrophotography : view of the Milky Way from Yachay Tech Univ. campus with a Smartphone, superposing 4sec integration images. Our students cannot say any longer they have not yet seen it with their own eyes #ISYA46 #ISYA 🔭 📷
It is Igancio Ranea's (Argentina) last lecture on Compact Objects at #ISYA46 in #Ecuador, and he is today doing a through tour on Black Hole physics 🔭 #ISYA
The 46th #ISYA at the Yachay Tech University, in Ecuador, has gathered 32 students from 11 Latin American & Caribbean countries. The students participating in this 3-week program are meeting with an international team of expert lecturers from 8 countries to enhance their research work. 🔭 #ISYA46

Juan Rafael Martínez Galarza (CfA, USA), an #ISYA alumni from 2005, is starting his course on Machine Learning for #Astrophysics at #ISYA46 in #Ecuador 🔭
Ignacio Ranea (Univ. Nac. La Plata, Argentina) is starying today his course on Compact Objects at #ISYA46 in Ecuador #ISYA 🔭
Today Sandro Bressan (SISSA, Italy) starts his Stellar Evolution course at #ISYA46 in Ecuador 🔭 #ISYA
Today @ #ISYA46 we have started the courses on Radioastronomy 🔭 by Helga Denés and Python for Astronomy by Wladimir Banga Barragán, both from Uni Yachay Tech, Ecuador #ISYA
Students at #ISYA46 are now split into groups to start projects they will have to develop throughout the school and present towards the end. Here they are led by tutors Helga Denés (YTU, Ecuador) and Fernando Buitrago (U. Valladolid, Spain). #ISYA 🔭

We are starting today the 46th International School for Young Astronomers 🔭 (#ISYA46) at Yachay Tech University in #Ecuador #ISYA with 30 students from 11 Latin Ametican & Caribbean countries
Mirjana Povic (ESSTI, Ethiopia/IAA, Spain) last lecture at #ISYA2024DZ too! She is training studrnts on the use of Virtual Observatory tools so that they can exploit the rich 🔭 databases available for research. #ISYA
My course on Galaxies is finished at #ISYA2024DZ and is is now time to close Cosmology with David Mota (Univ. Oslo). The students take the role of baryons oscillating in the dark matter potential wells at the time of release of the Cosmic Microwave Radiation 🔭 #ISYA Big laughs as they (de)compress
Today we closed the Interstellar Medium course by Frèdèric Galliano (Saclay, France) at #ISYA2024DZ. These students will have to review in the coming months the excellent material presented! #ISYA 🔭
It is a day of goodbyes at #ISYA2024DZ even if we still have three days to go Sandro Bressan (SISSA, Italy) finished his course on Stellar Evolution and Naceur Bouziani (CRAAG, Algeria) on Solar System, and Astrobiology #ISYA 🔭
It is James Chibueze's (UNISA, South Africa) last lecture on Radioastronomy today at #ISYA2024DZ . Students are set to synthesize an image of CenA acquired with the VLA 🔭. #ISYA
I am saddened to see the large numbers of adults that have never seen the Milky Way. It is such a humbling and breathtaking experience 🔭 Our modern life is keeping us from developing that sense of awe at contemplating the vastness of the Galaxy. #ISYA2024DZ #ISYA
The weekend of #ISYA2024DZ came full of adventures to discover one of the emblematic communities in Sahara. We had a naked eye 🔭 session in the dunes of Sebseb, where many students saw the Milky Way for the first time in their lives! #ISYA
3rd week of the #ISYA2024DZ with courses that start... Cosmology with David Mota (Univ. Oslo, Norway) in action now 🔭 #ISYA
Helena Domínguez (IFCA, Spain) is also closing today her Machine Learning course at #ISYA2024DZ with some current aplications in 🔭 #Astronomy. #ISYA
Tiago Pereira's (Univ. Oslo, Norway) last session on Solar Physics at #ISYA2024DZ starts with practice on Sun spot classification 🔭 All students running the python notebooks for this task. #ISYA
Next is the first lecture on Interstellar Medium by Frèdèric Galliano (Univ. Paris-Saclay, France), introducing the different phases, abundance and associated masses in the Milky Way 🔭 #ISYA2024DZ #ISYA
We are starting the day with the Solar Physics 🔭 lectures of Tiago Pereira (Univ. Oslo) at #ISYA2024DZ #ISYA , showing the radiation and convection zones of the Sun and its relationship with the main nuclear reaction chain.
