Cosmic evolution of the physical conditions for star and star cluster formation
Recent observations from ALMA and JWST have revealed the complex and turbulent nature of galaxies at high redshift, during the epoch of formation of globular clusters. The emergence of large disks at cosmic dawn (z > 10) and the almost ubiquity of massive star forming clumps at cosmic noon (z~2) question the formation scenarios of globular clusters. Although gravitational lensing pushes the obs...

Breeding seeds to grow supermassive black holes in the cosmological context: theory and semi-analytical forecasts
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are indispensable components of galaxy ecosystems. Their origin, growth, and feedback to the host galaxies are among the most fundamental questions in galaxy formation. In this talk, I will introduce a theoretical framework that coherently describes the formation of SMBHs from their seeding epoch to the present within the cosmological context. I will show that t...

Finding QPE-like systems in MOCCA simulation
QPE(Quasi Periodic Eruptions) is new type of X-ray transient event first observed in 2018. It's characterized by the periodic X-ray outbursts in contrast to its quiescent radiation. One of the proposed model for QPE events involves a secondary body orbiting around the central massive black hole, generating periodic flares as the mass of the secondary object accretes onto the BH. These systems ...

Current and future characterization of small exoplanet atmospheres from ground and space
Planets between the size of Earth and Neptune, also known as sub-Neptunes, pose a conundrum. They are absent in the solar system, but more than half of all Sun-like stars in the Galaxy host a sub-Neptune interior to 1 au. Although the number of sub-Neptunes atmospheres probed so far has been very low, a major breakthrough in exo-atmospheres science is happening right now thanks to the increased...
