Using an isolated Milky Way-mass galaxy simulation, we compare results from nine state-of-the-art gravitohydrodynamics codes widely used in the numerical community. We utilize the infrastructure we have built for the AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulation ...

Hubble Frontier Fields: predictions for the return of SN Refsdal with the MUSE and GMOS spectrographs

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement, Mathilde Jauzac, Hakim Atek, Markus Rexroth, Richard Massey, Johan Richard

We present a high-precision mass model of the galaxy cluster MACS J1149.6+ 2223, based on a strong gravitational lensing analysis of Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Fields (HFF) imaging data and spectroscopic follow-up with Gemini/Gemini Multi-Object Spect ...

Current and future large redshift surveys, as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (SDSS-IV/eBOSS) or the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), will use emission-line galaxies (ELGs) to probe cosmological ...

Chemo-dynamical N-body simulations are an essential tool for understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies. As the number of observationally determined stellar abundances continues to climb, these simulations are able to provide new constraints on ...

Searching for decaying dark matter in deep XMM-Newton observation of the Draco dwarf spheroidal

Alexey Boyarsky, Andrii Neronov, Oleg Ruchayskiy

We present results of a search for the 3.5 keV emission line in our recent very long (similar to 1.4 Ms) XMM-Newton observation of the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy. The astrophysical X-ray emission from such dark matter-dominated galaxies is faint, thus t ...

The evolution of the [O II], H beta and [O III] emission line luminosity functions over the last nine billions years

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Johan Comparat, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Jeffrey Newman, Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac, Johan Richard

Emission line galaxies are one of the main tracers of the large-scale structure to be targeted by the next-generation dark energy surveys. To provide a better understanding of the properties and statistics of these galaxies, we have collected spectroscopic ...

Tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs) are recycled objects that form within the collisional debris of interacting and merging galaxies. They are expected to be devoid of non-baryonic dark matter, since they can only form from dissipative material ejected from the di ...

The last stages of star formation in the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sextans

Romaine Theler

This thesis is anchored in the research of better understanding of the chemical evolution of galaxies. Many dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSph) are orbiting the Milky Way displaying various star formation histories. The formation of these dwarf galaxies and t ...

We describe a new method that only focuses on the local region surrounding an infalling dwarf in an effort to understand how the hot baryonic halo alters the chemodynamical evolution of dwarf galaxies. Using this method, we examine how a dwarf, similar to ...

The nongravitational interactions of dark matter in colliding galaxy clusters

David Richard Harvey, Richard Massey

Collisions between galaxy clusters provide a test of the nongravitational forces acting on dark matter. Dark matter's lack of deceleration in the "bullet cluster" collision constrained its self-interaction cross section sigma(DM)/m
