Linear polarization of rapidly rotating ultracool dwarfs
Aims. We aim at studying the near infrared linear polarization signal of
rapidly rotating ultracool dwarfs with spectral types ranging from M7 through
T2 and projected rotational velocities vsini >= 30 km s^{-1}. All these dwarfs
are believed to have dusty atmospheres and oblate shapes, an appropriate
scenario to produce measurable linear polarization of the continuum light.\\
Methods. Linear polarimetric images were collected in the J-band for a sample
of 18 fast-rotating ultracool dwarfs, five of which were also observed in the
Z-band using the LIRIS spectrograph on the Cassegrain focus of the 4.2-m
William Herschel Telescope. The measured median uncertainty in the linear
polarization degree is +/-0.13% for our sample, which allowed us to detect
polarization signatures above ~0.39% with a confidence of >=3\sigma.\\ Results.
About 40+/-15% of the sample is linearly polarized in the Z- and J-bands. All
positive detections have linear polarization degrees ranging from 0.4% to 0.8%
in both filters independently of spectral type and spectroscopic rotational
velocity. However, simple statistics point at the fastest rotators (vsini >=60
km s^{-1}) having a larger fraction of positive detections and a larger
averaged linear polarization degree than the moderately rotating dwarfs
(vsini=30--60 km s^{-1}). Our data suggest little linear polarimetric
variability on short time scales (i.e., observations separated by a few ten
rotation periods), and significant variability on long time scales (i.e.,
hundred to thousand rotation cycles), supporting the presence of "long-term
weather" in ultracool dwarf atmospheres.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figures, recommended for publication in Astronomy and

FoodLab: estandarización de proceso y desarrollo de nuevos productos
En este PAP se realizó un trabajo de mejora de procesos y desarrollo de productos dentro de FOODLAB, una empresa dedicada a la elaboración de productos de gomitas. Después de una primera evaluación y juntas con la persona encargada de la empresa, se determinó que se realizarían procedimientos de estandarización de procesos y de desarrollo de nuevos
productos.
Para el desarrollo de nuevos productos, se trabajó con las Yummy Fruits, realizando diferentes experimentaciones en donde se variaban los agentes gelantes y edulcorantes, así como sus concentraciones, hasta que se obtuvo un producto con características de textura y sabor agradables. Posteriormente se realizaron investigaciones y cotizaciones para ingredientes
funcionales y empaques que podrían ser utilizados para el producto final.
En cuanto a la estandarización del proceso de producción de Yummy Shots se llevó a cabo la toma de datos de 9 corridas de producción, variando condiciones de temperaturas, presión y °Brix, de las cuales se analizaron los distintos datos obtenidos en cada una de ellas y se concentró la información en una tabla donde se aprecian de mejor manera las distintas variaciones. Además, se actualizó la ficha técnica del producto, obteniendo resultados más completos de análisis fisicoquímicos, microbiológicos y bromatológicos de los Yummy Shots, de los cuales existen 2 tipos: sin chile y con chile.ITESO, A.C
La imagen y la narrativa como herramientas para el abordaje psicosocial en escenarios de violencia en los municipios de Florencia y Curillo
El presente trabajo pretende evaluar en el paso 4, los eventos psicosociales traumáticos desde el enfoque narrativo y el análisis del relato para proponer recursos de afrontamiento psicosocial al sufrimiento por violencia. Como tarea 1, se profundizó en el relato de vida 3: Alfredo Campo a partir de unas preguntas orientadoras; así mismo, la tarea 2 permitió el análisis y formulación de una entrevista con preguntas de tipo estratégicas, circulares y reflexivas, para resolverlas con la persona protagonista del relato y así lograr un acercamiento psicosocial ético y proactivo en la superación de las condiciones de victimización.
En la tarea 3, se comprenden en el caso expuesto de peñas coloradas y se amplían reflexiones, de acuerdo el caso de peñas coloradas, emprendiendo lo psicosocial partiendo los ítems, se manifiesta predominando la incursión y el encuentro militar que impactaron a la población estigmatizado como actor armado. Se proponen acciones de acompañamiento a la situación de crisis por el desarraigo presentada en la comunidad bridando apoyo a través de una matriz, estableciendo las estrategias psicosociales en los habitantes de peñas coloradas.
Se anexan el informe analítico sobre la experiencia en la foto voz que se realizó el paso tres en el diplomado de acompañamiento en los escenarios de violencia, refieren a sus debidas conclusiones y en link del blog diseñada por el grupo colaborativo.The present work intends to evaluate in step 4, the psychosocial traumatic events from the narrative approach and the analysis of the story to propose psychosocial coping resources to the suffering due to violence. As task 1, we deepened in the life story 3: Alfredo Campo from some guiding questions; likewise, task 2 allowed the analysis and formulation of an interview with strategic, circular and reflective questions, to solve them with the protagonist of the story and thus achieve an ethical and proactive psychosocial approach in overcoming the conditions of victimization.
task 3, the case of Peñas Coloradas is analyzed, generating reflections on its psychosocial approach based on some items, such as: what psychosocial emergencies are considered to be latent after the incursion and military harassment, and what impacts does it generate for the population to be stigmatized as an accomplice of an armed actor. Likewise, two support actions are proposed in the crisis generated by the uprooting suffered by the community and guidelines are given through a matrix to establish three psychosocial strategies with the inhabitants of Peñas Coloradas, which facilitate the empowerment of coping resources to the situation expressed.
In addition, the analytical and reflective report of the experience of the photo voice carried out in step 3 of the diploma course in psychosocial accompaniment in scenarios of violence is attached, along with its conclusions and the link to the blog of the Wix page designed by the collaborative group
Close companions around young stars
Multiplicity is a fundamental property that is set early during stellar
lifetimes, and it is a stringent probe of the physics of star formation. The
distribution of close companions around young stars is still poorly constrained
by observations. We present an analysis of stellar multiplicity derived from
APOGEE-2 spectra obtained in targeted observations of nearby star-forming
regions. This is the largest homogeneously observed sample of high-resolution
spectra of young stars. We developed an autonomous method to identify double
lined spectroscopic binaries (SB2s). Out of 5007 sources spanning the mass
range of 0.05--1.5 \msun, we find 399 binaries, including both RV
variables and SB2s. The mass ratio distribution of SB2s is consistent with a
uniform for . The period
distribution is consistent with what has been observed in close binaries (
AU) in the evolved populations. Three systems are found to have 0.1,
with a companion located within the brown dwarf desert. There are not any
strong trends in the multiplicity fraction (MF) as a function of cluster age
from 1 to 100 Myr. There is a weak dependence on stellar density, with
companions being most numerous at stars/pc, and
decreasing in more diffuse regions. Finally, disk-bearing sources are deficient
in SB2s (but not RV variables) by a factor of 2; this deficit is
recovered by the systems without disks. This may indicate a quick dispersal of
disk material in short-period equal mass systems that is less effective in
binaries with lower .Comment: 25 pages, 20 figures. Accepted to A
Variable stars in the VVV globular clusters. II. NGC6441, NGC6569, NGC6626 (M28), NGC6656 (M22), 2MASS-GC02, and Terzan10
© ESO 2021. This is the accepted manuscript version of an article which has been published in final form at https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202140546Context. The Galactic globular clusters (GGCs) located in the inner regions of the Milky Way suffer from high extinction that makes their observation challenging. High densities of field stars in their surroundings complicate their study even more. The VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey provides a way to explore these GGCs in the near-infrared where extinction effects are highly diminished. Aims. We conduct a search for variable stars in several inner GGCs, taking advantage of the unique multi-epoch, wide-field, near-infrared photometry provided by the VVV survey. We are especially interested in detecting classical pulsators that will help us constrain the physical parameters of these GGCs. In this paper, the second of a series, we focus on NGC 6656 (M 22), NGC 6626 (M 28), NGC 6569, and NGC 6441; these four massive GGCs have known variable sources, but quite different metallicities. We also revisit 2MASS-GC 02 and Terzan 10, the two GGCs studied in the first paper of this series. Methods. We present an improved method and a new parameter that efficiently identify variable candidates in the GGCs. We also use the proper motions of those detected variable candidates and their positions in the sky and in the color-magnitude diagrams to assign membership to the GGCs. Results. We identify and parametrize in the near-infrared numerous variable sources in the studied GGCs, cataloging tens of previously undetected variable stars. We recover many known classical pulsators in these clusters, including the vast majority of their fundamental mode RR Lyrae. We use these pulsators to obtain distances and extinctions toward these objects. Recalibrated period-luminosity-metallicity relations for the RR Lyrae bring the distances to these GGCs to a closer agreement with those reported by Gaia, except for NGC 6441, which is an uncommon Oosterhoff III GGC. Recovered proper motions for these GGCs also agree with those reported by Gaia, except for 2MASS-GC 02, the most reddened GGC in our sample, where the VVV near-infrared measurements provide a more accurate determination of its proper motions.Peer reviewe

VISIONS:the VISTA Star Formation Atlas I. Survey overview
VISIONS is an ESO public survey of five nearby (d < 500 pc) star-forming molecular cloud complexes that are canonically associated with the constellations of Chamaeleon, Corona Australis, Lupus, Ophiuchus, and Orion. The survey was carried out with the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA), using the VISTA Infrared Camera (VIRCAM), and collected data in the near-infrared passbands J (1.25 μm), H (1.65 μm), and KS (2.15 μm). With a total on-sky exposure time of 49.4h VISIONS covers an area of 650 deg2, it is designed to build an infrared legacy archive with a structure and content similar to the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) for the screened star-forming regions. Taking place between April 2017 and March 2022, the observations yielded approximately 1.15 million images, which comprise 19 TB of raw data. The observations undertaken within the survey are grouped into three different subsurveys. First, the wide subsurvey comprises shallow, large-scale observations and it has revisited the star-forming complexes six times over the course of its execution. Second, the deep subsurvey of dedicated high-sensitivity observations has collected data on areas with the largest amounts of dust extinction. Third, the control subsurvey includes observations of areas of low-to-negligible dust extinction. Using this strategy, the VISIONS observation program offers multi-epoch position measurements, with the ability to access deeply embedded objects, and it provides a baseline for statistical comparisons and sample completeness – all at the same time. In particular, VISIONS is designed to measure the proper motions of point sources, with a precision of 1 mas yr−1 or better, when complemented with data from the VISTA Hemisphere Survey (VHS). In this way, VISIONS can provide proper motions of complete ensembles of embedded and low-mass objects, including sources inaccessible to the optical ESA Gaia mission. VISIONS will enable the community to address a variety of research topics from a more informed perspective, including the 3D distribution and motion of embedded stars and the nearby interstellar medium, the identification and characterization of young stellar objects, the formation and evolution of embedded stellar clusters and their initial mass function, as well as the characteristics of interstellar dust and the reddening law
