Simulating Pixels

Simulating Pixels Pixel simulations are essential in several phases of a project as they provide mock data that allows us to design, test and optimize the analysis of the images, prior to the real observations. They are also key to evaluate the performance of a survey...

Late bursts of star formation in normal elliptical galaxies

Late bursts of star formation in normal elliptical galaxies We normally think of elliptical galaxies as massive, stellar systems which are quasi-spherical, filled with old stars and hot gas and essentially quiescent objects. Successful simulations find them made at...
