Dancing in the dark: galactic properties trace spin swings along the cosmic web

Image

Yohan Dubois

IAP

A large-scale hydrodynamical cosmological simulation, Horizon-AGN , is used to investigate the alignment between the spin of galaxies and the large-scale cosmic filaments above redshift z = 1.2. The analysis of more than 150 000 galaxies per time step in the redshift range 1.2 &less; z &less; 1.8, resolved with...

Exploring the Role of AGN Feedback in Galaxy Formation

Image

Rebekka Bieri

IAP

Feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) is routinely included in semi-analytic and numerical simulations, which have shown that such feedback is able to quench cooling flows and decrease star formation. Radio-mode feedback models from AGN jets are, however, still in the early stages of development. The impact of the jet...

The Epoch of Reionization: observations and simulations

Image

Benoît Semelin

LERMA, Observatoire de Paris

I will first briefly review the current observationnal constraints on the Epoch of Reionization, then I will describe the basic physics of reionization and emission of the 21 cm signal. I will then describe the current status and future prospects of 21cm observations and finally I will present modeling techniques...

A Dynamically Collapsing Cloud Core and a Precursor of a Core in a Filament Supported by Turbulent and Magnetic Pressures

Rei Furuya

Tokushima University

To understand the formation of molecular cores, the eventual sites of star formation, it is not enough to know only the physical state of the star-forming high-density gas. One must also determine the velocity field and density structure of the more diffuse medium surrounding the dense gas. One can go...

Radiation transport calculation of the thermal radiation from gamma-ray burst jets

Sanshiro Shibata

Konan University

Gamma-ray bursts (GRB) are the one of the most energetic phenomena in the universe, with typically 1051 erg in gamma rays emitted within of order few tens of seconds. In the case long gamma-ray burst, the radiation is emitted from relativistic jets launched as a result of the gravitational collapse...
