Various particle models for d ark matter give rise to different small-scale distributions of mass in the lens galaxy\, which can be differentiated if the observation is sensitive enough. The sensitivity of a gravitational lens observation to the presen ce (or absence) of low-mass dark structures in the lens galaxy is determin ed mainly by the angular resolution of the instrument and the spatial stru cture of the source.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present results from the ana lysis of a global VLBI observation of a gravitationally lensed radio jet. With an angular resolution better than 5 milli-arcseconds and a highly ext ended\, spatially resolved source\, we are able to place competitive const raints on the particle mass in fuzzy dark matter models using this single observation. I will also present preliminary results from our analysis of warm dark matter models using this lens system. Our results illustrate the key role that next-generation VLBI observations will play in revealing th e nature of dark matter\, especially in light of the ~105 gravitational le ns systems with radio-bright sources that will be discovered by the Square Kilometre Array.\n\nhttps://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/ses sion/6/contribution/25 LOCATION:MPI for Mathematics in the Sciences Leibniz Conference Hall URL:https://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/session/6/contributi on/25 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Classification games at the radio universe DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T134000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T135500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260812T232753Z UID:indico-contribution-339-26@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. VARDOULAKI\, Eleni (Thüringer Landessternwarte Tautenburg)\nState of the art radio observations of the universe enable us to image in high resolution and sensitivity the active galactic nuclei (A GN) radio population\, and\, by using multi-wavelength data available\, to extract information about the radio properties and their interaction with the environment. I will discuss how the combination of visual and machine learning techniques\, and the inclusion of citizen science\, can provide widely applicable tools for use in the SKA era. Such tools include a commo n language for classification\, using natural language processing\, as wel l as machine/deep learning approaches to classify radio structures in surv eys. In the spirit of providing viable examples that could be adopted for ngVLA\, I will discuss real science cases drawn from studies with the COSM OS JVLA and MeerKAT-MIGHTEE DR1 GHz data\, and the Evolutionary map of the Universe (EMU) Radio Galaxy Zoo (RGZ-EMU) citizen science project.\n\nhtt ps://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/session/6/contribution/26 LOCATION:MPI for Mathematics in the Sciences Leibniz Conference Hall URL:https://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/session/6/contributi on/26 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:LOFAR2.0\, Diffuse Radio Emission in Galaxy Clusters\, and Cosmic Magnetic Fields DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T135500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T141000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260812T232753Z UID:indico-contribution-339-27@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. HOEFT\, Matthias (Thüringer Landessternwarte Ta utenburg)\nhttps://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/session/6/con tribution/27 LOCATION:MPI for Mathematics in the Sciences Leibniz Conference Hall URL:https://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/session/6/contributi on/27 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Unveiling Planet Formation with ngVLA DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T113000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T114500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260812T232753Z UID:indico-contribution-339-20@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: WILNER\, David (Center for Astrophysics | Harvard &a mp\; Smithsonian)\nA key science goal of the ngVLA is to probe emerging pl anetary systems when planet masses\, compositions\, and orbital architectu res are established in the disks around young stars. The ngVLA will have t he unique combination of high resolution and sensitivity at millimeter wav elengths to image thermal dust emission at sub-au scales in 100's of these planet-forming disks. In particular\, the ngVLA will detect and resolve t hermal dust emission features resulting from planet-disk interactions\, su ch as rings\, azimuthal asymmetries\, and spirals. Simulations show that t he ngVLA can detect disk dust structures produced by Earth-mass planets or biting at 1 au around Sun-like stars in nearby star-forming regions. Such structures are not accessible to any other existing or planned facility\, due to insufficient resolution or high dust opacities. The short orbital t imescales will allow for multi-epoch ngVLA observations to produce "movies " that track the proper motions of the dust structures.\n\nhttps://events. mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/session/4/contribution/20 LOCATION:MPI for Mathematics in the Sciences Leibniz Conference Hall URL:https://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/session/4/contributi on/20 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:The impact of the ngVLA on planet formation studies: From protoste llar disks to debris disks DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T111500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T113000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260812T232753Z UID:indico-contribution-339-21@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Prof. WOLF\, Sebastian (Uni-Kiel)\nhttps://events.mp ifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/session/4/contribution/21 LOCATION:MPI for Mathematics in the Sciences Leibniz Conference Hall URL:https://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/session/4/contributi on/21 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:TBD DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T123000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T124500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260812T232753Z UID:indico-contribution-339-22@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: LIN\, Yuxin ()\nhttps://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/ind ico/event/339/session/9/contribution/22 LOCATION:MPI for Mathematics in the Sciences Leibniz Conference Hall URL:https://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/session/9/contributi on/22 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Starformation and Galactic Winds in Compact Low Mass Starbursts DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T124500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T124700Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260812T232753Z UID:indico-contribution-339-23@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Prof. BOMANS\, Dominik (Astronomical Institute\, Ruh r University Bochum)\nhttps://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/se ssion/9/contribution/23 LOCATION:MPI for Mathematics in the Sciences Leibniz Conference Hall URL:https://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/session/9/contributi on/23 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:High angular resolution stellar radio astrometry DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T141000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T142500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260812T232753Z UID:indico-contribution-339-28@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. DZIB QUIJANO\, Sergio Abraham (MPI für Radioast ronomie)\nRadio interferometers are fantastic astrometric instruments. The y offer several advantages to optical and IR astrometry. First\, radio obs ervations are not affected by dust extinction\, then it allows to study ve ry deeply embedded objects that are inaccessible to shorter wavelengths. S econd they are phase-referenced with background quasars\, then the astrome try is nearly absolute. Phase-referencing with quasars also allows to comb ine observation taken with decades apart\, at different frequencies and ev en different interferometers. Finally\, VLBI radio-observations have astro metric accuracies similar and better than the Gaia telescope (the state of the art of optical astrometry). Furthermore\, the angular resolution of V LBI observation are two order of magnitude better than Gaia's\, enabling t o resolve tight binary systems that Gaia cannot. In this talk\, I will pre sent a short review of my stellar radio astrometry studies during the last decade\, highlighting our recent studies of tight binary systems\, and fu ture prospects with the ngVLA.\n\nhttps://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/ event/339/session/6/contribution/28 LOCATION:MPI for Mathematics in the Sciences Leibniz Conference Hall URL:https://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/session/6/contributi on/28 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Neutrino Emission in AGN Jets DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T144000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T145500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260812T232753Z UID:indico-contribution-339-29@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Prof. KADLER\, Matthias (Universitaet Wuerzburg)\nht tps://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/session/10/contribution/29 LOCATION:MPI for Mathematics in the Sciences Leibniz Conference Hall URL:https://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/session/10/contribut ion/29 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Science with a next-generation Very Large Array DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T092000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T093500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260812T232753Z UID:indico-contribution-339-5@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: MURPHY\, Eric (National Radio Astronomy Observatory) \nhttps://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/session/0/contribution /5 LOCATION:MPI for Mathematics in the Sciences Leibniz Conference Hall URL:https://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/session/0/contributi on/5 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:ngVLA: Project Update DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T090500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T092000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260812T232753Z UID:indico-contribution-339-4@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: BEASLEY\, Anthony (NRAO)\, PROJECT TEAM\, ngVLA (NRA O)\nThe next-generation Very Large Array (ngVLA) is a large ground-based r adio telescope concept under development for the U.S. National Science Fou ndation (NSF) and global research community.

They are launche d in the direct vicinity of rotating supermassive black holes and accelera te particles to highest energies. However\, the detailed launching and acc eleration mechanism are still unknown. Next generation Very Long Baseline Interferometers (VLBI) will allow us to reliable observe and image simulta neously the accretion flow around the supermassive black holes together wi th the jet launching and acceleration zone. In order to explore these uniq ue capabilities and to provide theoretical expectations we perform general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of accretion on to black hol es and jet launching taking different particle heating models into account . From our simulations we compute multi-wavelength radiative signatures wh ich can be used to distinguish between heating models\, particle distribut ions and their acceleration sites using jet observations with future VLBI arrays.\n\nhttps://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/session/10/co ntribution/31 LOCATION:MPI for Mathematics in the Sciences Leibniz Conference Hall URL:https://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/session/10/contribut ion/31 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:AGN jets evolution at all scales DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T142500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T144000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260812T232753Z UID:indico-contribution-339-30@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. BACZKO\, Anne-Kathrin (Chalmers University of Te chnology)\nDecades of astrophysical research have left the process of jet formation and acceleration in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) as a central un solved problem. Using high-resolution VLBI at mm wavelengths\, we find evi dence for magnetic acceleration by the black hole and accretion disk in th e innermost jet expansion region. On the other hand\, the international LO FAR telescope has made significant progress at longer wavelengths\, provid ing high-resolution images of AGN host galaxies\, which allows a detailed study of AGN feedback and black hole feeding. Combining AGN studies across the radio spectrum\, from LOFAR wavelengths to mm-VLBI\, is crucial to un raveling the physics underlying jet formation\, acceleration\, collimation \, and their interplay with host galaxy properties. Using as examples mult i-wavelength radio studies of the radio galaxies NGC3894 and NGC1052 I wil l discuss the power of VLBI to uncover the processes of jet expansion and evolution in AGN and how these pursuits can be extended through future adv ances\, represented by the ngVLA and the SKA.\n\nhttps://events.mpifr-bonn .mpg.de/indico/event/339/session/10/contribution/30 LOCATION:MPI for Mathematics in the Sciences Leibniz Conference Hall URL:https://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/session/10/contribut ion/30 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Discussion Introduction DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T154500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230927T155500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260812T232753Z UID:indico-contribution-339-35@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Prof. KADLER\, Matthias (Universitaet Wuerzburg)\, P rof.

()\nThe unparallel sensitivi ty and dsistematic ynamic range and the superb spectral and polarization p erformance of the ngVLA are expected to revolutionize observational studie s in a number of scientific areas. For any emitting regions brighter than ~1 mJy/beam\, the effective imaging resolution of ngVLA at 116 GHz is expe cted to be superior to that of the present day EHT observations at 230 GHz . Application of frequency phase transfer\, both with fast frequency switc hing and cluster-cluster modes\, should provide relative astrometry at a ~ 1 µas positional accuracy. Continuum and line spectra would be probed at a better than ~1 mJy/beam level at a fractional spectral resolution of 10^ -6. These improvemnts in particular will open up new horizons in studies o f cosmic black holes and weakly interacting particles.

Over the last fe w decades\, thanks to the possibilities offered by the Very Long Baseline Interferometry observations\, crucial steps forward in unveiling their nat ure have been made. Relativistic jets are expected to initially propagate as magnetic-dominated outflows and to progressively reach the equipartitio n state on sub-parsec and parsec scales. Over the same distances\, they co llimate reaching opening angles of a few degrees\, and accelerate up to hi gh relativistic velocities. Despite these advances\, several pieces of the puzzle remain elusive\, preventing a comprehensive understanding of such processes.\n\nIn this presentation\, the topic is addressed by focusing on the nearby giant radio galaxy NGC 315. Thanks to its vicinity and large b lack hole mass\, NGC 315 offers a unique opportunity to unveil various asp ects of its jet formation on scales down to a few hundred Schwarzschild ra dii. We analyze the observational constraints within the framework of diff erent theoretical models\, offering insights into numerous jet properties\ , including the nature of the magnetic fields and the mechanisms behind th e acceleration process. The results on NGC 315 are then compared with the known properties of other AGN jets to offer a broader and complete view of the subject.\n\nFinally\, we highlight how the emerging capabilities of t he ngVLA will provide a unique opportunity to link the known jet propertie s on compact scales with the extended jet structures\, providing unprecede nted tools to explore the establishment of relativistic outflows.\n\nhttps ://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/session/10/contribution/32 LOCATION:MPI for Mathematics in the Sciences Leibniz Conference Hall URL:https://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/339/session/10/contribut ion/32 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
