Introduction to the European Very Long Baseline Interferometry Network (EVN) and the Joint Institute for VLBI ERIC (JIV-ERIC). The presentation will also present the 32-m radio telescope in Toruń, operated by Nicolaus Copernicus University, as a component of the EVN and an important contributor to European and global VLBI research.

The 6.7 GHz methanol maser transition is one of the most powerful tracers of high-mass star-forming regions. We present results from an unique, long-term monitoring program carried out with the Toruń 32-m radio telescope, covering a sample of over 250 methanol sources across the Galactic plane. The monitoring campaign has revealed a rich diversity of variability behaviours, including the...

Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration, high-energy radio pulses originating from extragalactic sources, first discovered in 2007. Their exact origin remains elusive, but leading theories point to highly magnetised neutron stars -- magnetars, or other compact objects undergoing extreme astrophysical processes. The NCU radio telescope in Toruń plays an important role in FRB research...

Our research focuses on the earliest stages of radio activity in active galactic nuclei (AGN), combining time-domain studies of radio transients with low-frequency imaging of compact radio sources. Using multiwavelength observations, we investigate the physical mechanisms responsible for triggering radio jets, their early evolution, and their interaction with the surrounding interstellar...

The star-forming main sequence provides a compact description of how galaxies build their stellar mass as a function of cosmic time. In this talk, I will present a continuity-equation framework for translating an observed redshift-dependent star-forming main sequence into the predicted evolution of the galaxy stellar mass function. Starting from observed high-redshift stellar mass functions,...

In this talk, I will present selected results from radial velocity (RV) follow-up campaigns of small transiting planets (1–4 Earth radii) discovered by Kepler/K2 and TESS. These observations were conducted using the TNG/HARPS-N, ESO/HARPS, CAHA/CARMENES, and VLT/ESPRESSO instruments within the framework of the KESPRINT, THIRSTEE, and CARMENES consortia. Precise RV measurements are essential...

I will present our exoplanet search project, that resulted in detection of 30 exoplanets, mostly around evolved stars, so far. I will briefly present status of the project, our forthcoming results as well as our plans for the future.

A case of the successful Polish-German collaboration in theoretical astrophysics.
Recent studies of the magnetized interstellar medium indicate that cosmic rays accelerated in supernova remnants play a crucial role in driving galactic winds and amplifying galactic magnetic fields. Cosmic rays have a strong dynamical impact on the interstellar medium.
The model, developed through...

Sky surveys, like Gaia, ZTF, OGLE, ASAS-SN and recent LSST, continuously monitor the sky, detecting various transient phenomena such as gravitational microlensing events that can reveal compact objects, including isolated stellar-mass black holes, neutron stars or white dwarfs. Combining photometric, spectroscopic and astrometric data with intensive ground-based follow-up is essential for...

The current standard cosmological model, the LCDM model,replaced the more rough big bang model in the 1990s. This model is precise, but is rejected by the lack of structure above the 10 Gpc/h scale, by the local few hundred megaparsec measurements of the expansion rate, and by the dipole in the 1 Gpc/h scale galaxy distribution. Using the upcoming surveys on Rubin/LSST and 4MOST, the UMK...
