COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Yves Revaz, Malte Tewes

We present accurate time delays for the quadruply imaged quasar HE 0435-1223. The delays were measured from 575 independent photometric points obtained in the R-band between January 2004 and March 2010. With seven years of data, we clearly show that quasar ...

Reionization by UV or X-ray sources

Yves Revaz

We present simulations of the 21-cm signal during the epoch of reionization. We focus on properly modeling the absorption regime in the presence of inhomogeneous Wouthuysen-Field effect and X-ray heating. We ran radiative transfer simulations for three ban ...

The simulated 21 cm signal during the epoch of reionization: full modeling of the Ly-alpha pumping

Yves Revaz

The 21 cm emission of neutral hydrogen is the most promising probe of the epoch of reionization (EoR). In the next few years, the SKA pathfinders will provide statistical measurements of this signal, such as its power spectrum. Within one decade, SKA shoul ...

Simulations of galactic disks including a dark baryonic component

Yves Revaz, Daniel Pfenniger

The near proportionality between HI and dark matter in outer galactic disks prompted us to run N-body simulations of galactic disks in which the observed gas content is supplemented by a dark gas component representing between zero and five times the visib ...

A Population of Compact Elliptical Galaxies Detected with the Virtual Observatory

Yves Revaz

Compact elliptical galaxies are characterized by small sizes and high stellar densities. They are thought to form through tidal stripping of massive progenitors. However, only a handful of them were known, preventing us from understanding the role played b ...

The dynamical and chemical evolution of dwarf spheroidal galaxies

Pascale Jablonka, Yves Revaz

We present a large sample of fully self-consistent hydrodynamical Nbody/Tree-SPH simulations of isolated dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs). It has enabled us to identify the key physical parameters and mechanisms at the origin of the observed variety in th ...

Cold gas in the Perseus cluster core: excitation of molecular gas in filaments

Yves Revaz

We have recently detected CO lines in the well-known filaments around NGC 1275, the galaxy at the centre of the Perseus cluster of galaxies. These previous observations, with the HERA multi-beam array at the IRAM 30 m telescope enabled us to make a large m ...

Observations of CO in the eastern filaments of NGC 1275

Yves Revaz

We recently found extended CO(2-1) emission from cold molecular gas embedded in the network of Ha filaments surrounding the galaxy NGC 1275 (Salome et al. 2006). We now present CO(2-1) interferometer maps of the eastern filaments, at high spatial and spect ...
