Punto vernal: Science, AI, and more
Welcome!
This is the personal blog of Dr. Jorge Abreu Vicente. I see the blog as a window to communicate with you, not as a tool to only share my work. As such, this blog will have different topics on it. From the wonders of the cosmos in Astronomy, to the ultimate wonder of the cosmos: life itself. But it will not be only about Astronomy and Biology. I will bring machine learning, coding, and AI too since they are my current working tools. During the winter season I will bring the observation diary of a backyard amateur astronomer. And the content of the blog will also be filled with other topics such as opinions or career advice.
I hope you like this space and please, make sure to share your thoughs.
Best! ! !

Galactic Paleontology: Unraveling the cosmic web of the Galaxy
We reveal a galactic skeleton formed by large-scale filamentary structures. These objects, which challenge known theoretical laws, may be the key to understanding the process of star formation on a galactic scale and its connection with galactic evolution.
Goolgles for Planck and Herschel. Enhanced calibration of Herschel and Planck Data in the Galactic plane
This blog post delves into the innovative recalibration of Herschel and Planck telescope data to improve our understanding of molecular clouds and star formation processes. By addressing calibration challenges and combining observations from both telescopes, we achieve unparalleled precision in mapping the temperature and density of galactic molecular clouds. This enhanced data offers new insights into the debate between gravity and turbulence as primary drivers of star formation, potentially transforming our understanding of cosmic evolution.
Deciphering the evolutionary journey of molecular clouds
Although we know that stars are ultimately born from the gravitational collapse of molecular clouds, the process that initiates the collapse is not well understood. This study is the first systematic study of density distribution in molecular clouds in the Galactic plane. It highlights the roles of turbulence and gravity in the evolutionary cycle of molecular clouds, offering new insights into the mechanisms driving star formation.
