Beatriz Villarroel introduces the discussion of astronomical anomalies across a wide range of topics, from cosmology to the search for alien life. World-leading experts give their opinion on how anomalies challenge -- or complement -- our perceptions of astrophysics and the workings of our Universe. We discuss failures in the Standard Model of Cosmology, galaxies without dark matter and the ongoing search for natural, and unnatural, objects in the sky. Speakers include Martin Lopez Corredoira, Pavel Kroupa, Avi Loeb, Ignacio Trujillo, and Massimo Teodorani.
Bio: Beatriz Villarroel is the project leader of the ”Vanishing & Appearing Sources during a Century of Observations” (VASCO) project where she is searching for vanishing stars and other anomalies in the sky. She received her PhD in Astronomy from Uppsala University in 2017. She is currently an international postdoctoral researcher sharing her time between the Nordisk Institut for Teoretisk Fysik (NORDITA) and Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC). In March 2021, she received the L’Oreal-UNESCO For Women in Science prize in Sweden for her research on vanishing stars.
