Hubble Space Telescope Grism Spectroscopy Of Extreme Starbursts Across Cosmic Time: The Role Of Dwarf Galaxies In The Star Formation History Of The Universe

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek, Patrick Mccarthy

Near infrared slitless spectroscopy with the Wide Field Camera 3, on board the Hubble Space Telescope, offers a unique opportunity to study low-mass galaxy populations at high redshift (z similar to 1-2). While most high-z surveys are biased toward massive ...

Cold gas in the inner regions of intermediate redshift clusters

Pascale Jablonka

Determining the nature and modes of star formation at galactic scales requires an understanding of the relationship between the gas content of a galaxy and its star formation rate. Remarkable progress has been made in understanding the conversion mechanism ...

On the effect of image denoising on galaxy shape measurements

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Marc Gentile, Guldariya Nurbaeva

Weak gravitational lensing is a very sensitive way of measuring cosmological parameters, including dark energy, and of testing current theories of gravitation. In practice, this requires exquisite measurement of the shapes of billions of galaxies over larg ...

The fundamental plane of EDisCS galaxies The effect of size evolution

Pascale Jablonka

We study the evolution of spectral early-type galaxies in clusters, groups, and the field up to redshift 0.9 using the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS) dataset. We measure structural parameters (circularized half-luminosity radii R-e, surface brightness ...

Model independent constraints on mass-varying neutrino scenarios

Julien Lesgourgues

Models of dark energy in which neutrinos interact with the scalar field supposed to be responsible for the acceleration of the Universe usually imply a variation of the neutrino masses on cosmological time scales. In this work we propose a parametrization ...

The cosmic decline in the H2/HI ratio in galaxies

Danail Obreschkow

We use a pressure-based model for splitting cold hydrogen into its atomic (HI) and molecular (H2) components to tackle the co-evolution of HI, H2, and star formation rates (SFR) in 3x10^7 simulated galaxies in the Millennium simulation. The main prediction ...

Galileon as a local modification of gravity

Riccardo Rattazzi

In the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) model, the "self-accelerating" solution is plagued by a ghost instability, which makes the solution untenable. This fact, as well as all interesting departures from general relativity (GR), are fully captured by a four- ...

The Cosmic Evolution of Atomic and Molecular Hydrogen in Galaxies

Danail Obreschkow

Neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) and molecular hydrogen (H2) play a primordial role in the cosmic evolution of galaxies. However, little is known about the co-evolution of these two gas phases. This discrepancy and the design of future telescopes like the SKA ...

Gravitational lenses

Christel Vuissoz

The Hubble constant H0 is one of the most important parameters in cosmology, as it encodes the age of the Universe and is necessary for any distance determination at a cosmological scale. It is, however, only poorly constrained by traditional methods. The ...

Soft masses in superstring models with anomalous U(1) symmetries

Claudio Scrucca

We analyze the general structure of soft scalar masses emerging in superstring models involving anomalous U(1) symmetries, with the aim of characterizing more systematically the circumstances under which they can happen to be flavor universal. We consider ...
