Intrinsic alignments: theoretical and numerical insights

by | Nov 11, 2014 | Events, Talk

Intrinsic alignments: theoretical and numerical insights In this talk, I will show how both dark matter and hydrodynamical simulations predict that the morphology of galaxies is correlated with the cosmic web. This large-scale coherence of galaxy shapes could possibly...

Cosmological Simulations of Galaxy Cluster Outskirts

by | Nov 10, 2014 | Events, Talk

Cosmological Simulations of Galaxy Cluster Outskirts The observational study of galaxy cluster outskirts is a new territory to probe the thermodynamic and chemical structure of the X-ray emitting intracluster medium (ICM). Cluster outskirts are particularly important...

Massive neutrinos and the Large Scale Structure of the Universe

by | Nov 7, 2014 | Events, Talk

Massive neutrinos and the Large Scale Structure of the Universe Massive neutrinos have peculiar effects on several observables in current and future redshift surveys. A precise determination of them is crucial not only to constraint properly neutrino masses but also...

Recent Progress in Large-Scale Structure

by | Oct 9, 2014 | Events, Talk

Recent Progress in Large-Scale Structure I will discuss recent progress in the understanding of how to model galaxy clustering. While recent analyses have focussed on the baryon acoustic oscillations as a probe of cosmology, galaxy redshift surveys contain a lot more...
