Abstract: The CAVITY Survey (Calar Alto Void Integral Field Treasury Survey) represents a significant advancement in our understanding of void galaxies. Conducted in Southern Spain, this comprehensive survey utilizes the state-of-the-art facilities at Calar Alto Observatory to map and analyze galaxies residing in the vast, underpopulated regions of the universe known as cosmic voids. This talk will present the initial results of the survey, highlighting the unique properties of void galaxies. Additionally, I will describe the first public data release, providing the scientific community with unprecedented access to high-quality data for further exploration and study.

Bio: Ruben Garcia Benito is a Senior Scientist at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA) within the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). His expertise spans galaxy evolution, stellar populations, and the interstellar medium, and he has also contributed to instrumentation projects. Previously, he served as a Research Fellow at the Peking University Kavli Institute. With a prolific publication record, he has authored over 130 papers featured in journals including Nature, A&A, and ApJ.

Additionally, he founded CosMonic, a pioneering project that introduces scientific data sonification for outreach and scientific analysis. This innovative initiative explores the auditory dimension, providing an alternative understanding of astrophysics through sound.
