The Universe is filled with energetic charged particles known as cosmic rays that can reach energies more than a million times higher than is possible to attain in our laboratories, for example the LHC at CERN. Where and how cosmic rays are produced in the Galaxy is an important question in modern physics. Matter in space, and cosmic rays in particular, is collisionless, meaning that the …
The Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory (SWGO) is poised to become a key facility for ground-based gamma-ray astronomy in the Southern Hemisphere. Its wide field of view and high duty cycle will complement the capabilities of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO), the next-generation gamma-ray observatory currently under construction. This synergy will enable continuous m…
The visible matter in the Universe is predominantly in a plasma state, i.e., it is composed of magnetized and ionized or partially ionized gas. The High Energy and Plasma Astrophysics group (GAPAE) at IAG-USP, having as partners researchers of CRAAM, EACH-USP and UFABC, has been exploring, for more than two decades, fundamental plasmas and high energy processes in astrophysical sources, u…
A Escola deverá ter uma duração de 11 dias e será voltada a estudantes de graduação, pós-graduação e pesquisadores da área de Astrofísica de Plasmas, Altas Energias e Cosmologia, visando, sobretudo, a preparação para o Telescope Array Cherenkov (CTA) - a nova geração de instrumenção para a investigação de raios-gama no Universo.A Escola deverá conter mini-cursos (lectures) de 3 hrs que co…
Most of the visible matter in the Universe is in a plasma state, i.e., is composed of ionized or partially ionized gas permeated by magnetic fields. The High Energy and Plasma Astrophysics group of E. M. de Gouveia Dal Pino of the Instituto de Astronomia, Geologia e Ciências Atmosféricas da Universidade de São Paulo (IAG-USP), A. B. M. Valio of the Centro de Radioastronomia e Astrofísica …
We present an extensive analysis of the 850 um polarization maps of the SCUBA Polarimeter Legacy (SCUPOL) Catalogue produced by Matthews et al., focusing exclusively on the molecular clouds and star-forming regions. For the sufficiently sampled regions, we characterize the depolarization properties and the turbulent-to-mean magnetic field ratio of each region. Similar sets of parameters a…

Magnetic fields and turbulence play a fundamental role in governing the dynamics of the intergalactic (IGM) and intracluster medium (ICM). Despite significant progress, the origin, amplification, and large-scale structure of cosmic magnetic fields remain unresolved issues in contemporary astrophysics. This project aims to investigate the interplay among turbulence, magnetic fields, cosmic…
Cosmic rays (CRs), spanning energies from 10^9 to 10^20 eV, are produced in diverse astrophysical systems, yet their acceleration mechanisms remain only partially understood. While lower-energy CRs are Galactic, the origins of ultra-high-energy CRs are still debated. Gamma-ray astronomy serves as a critical tool to study CR production, as charged particles are deflected by magnetic fields…
Star formation (SF) is a fundamental process in the cosmic cycle of matter, spanning a wide range of spatial scales and involving complex interactions between gas, radiation, magnetic fields, and cosmic rays (CRs). CRs are closely linked to the life cycle of massive stars and are believed to be produced in several astrophysical environments, including massive star clusters (MSCs), superno…
Black holes (BHs) play major roles in astrophysical processes through phenomena like accretion and relativistic jets, acting as cosmic ray accelerators and gamma-ray emitters. They encompass stellar-mass BHs in binaries and supermassive BHs in active galactic nuclei (AGNs), being also crucial for powering gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Relativistic jets from BHs attain high Lorentz factors, ess…

This is a scholarship renewal solicitation to conclude the fifth year of the student's Ph.D. thesis who has a FAPESP scholarship (2019/04992-4) linked to the Thematic Project (2013/10559-5) coordinated by her advisor, which will be concluded in the coming July 31, 2023. During the first four years, most of the research of the initial Proposal has been carried out on studies of the origin …
Relativistic Jets emanating from Black Holes (BH), especially those from active galaxies, are believed to be among the most extreme particle accelerators and very high energy (VHE) emitters in the universe. Only lately, combining theory, numerical simulations and observations, we have started to understand the potential physical processes that prevail in the surrounds of these BHs in orde…
Particle acceleration by magnetic reconnection is now recognized as an important process in magnetically dominated regions of galactic and extragalactic sources, like pulsars and black holes. This process helps to solve current puzzles specially related to the origin of very high energy flare emission in these sources. Recent analytical studies and multidimensional numerical (special and …
