Descripción
Long suspected on theoretical grounds and supported by tantalising observational evidence, the connection between supernovae and gamma-ray bursts was definitely established in 2003. Since then, a number of events have forced us to revise what we thought we knew about SNe and GRBs. This SN/GRB connection went from tentative to definitive, to maybe not, to maybe in most cases. I will briefly review the major milestones along this road and describe the situation as it is today.

    Decoding the state transition in X-ray binaries: a spectral-timing perspective
    X-ray binaries (XRBs) are binary systems where a compact object, either a black hole or a neutron star, accretes matter from a stellar companion via an accretion disc. As this material spirals in, it heats up and emits X-rays, typically exhibiting transient outburst behaviour.During these outbursts, XRBs often transition between hard states

    The delicate interplay between accretion, ejection and magnetism in neutron stars X-ray binaries
    Matter ejection, in the form of either winds or jets, is ubiquitous in accreting X-ray binaries. Although it is clear that accretion and ejection are profoundly intertwined in these types of systems, the origin and the details of such an interconnection are yet to be unraveled. This is particularly true for systems where a low-magnetized neutron

    Understanding stellar structure and evolution significantly impacts our understanding of the tight-knit evolution of galaxies and exoplanet systems. However, hidden behind the luminous layers of the stellar atmosphere, the deep interior of a star is eluding from direct measurements. The seismic study of waves propagating the deep interior provides
