Growing a 'cosmic beast': observations and simulations of MACS J0717.5+3745

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, David Richard Harvey, Matthew Aaron Robertson, Elena Cristina Dalla Vecchia, Barney Frederick Drake

We present a gravitational lensing and X-ray analysis of a massive galaxy cluster and its surroundings. The core of MACS J0717.5+3745 (M(R < 1Mpc) similar to 2 x 10(15) M-circle dot, z = 0.54) is already known to contain four merging components. We show th ...

Potential Recoiling Supermassive Black Hole, CXO J101527.2+625911

David Richard Harvey

We have carried out a systematic search for recoiling supermassive black holes (rSMBH) using the Chandra Source and SDSS Cross-Match Catalog. From the survey, we have detected a potential rSMBH, CXO J101527.2 +625911, at z = 0.3504. The source CXO J101527. ...

What is the Milky Way outer halo made of? High resolution spectroscopy of distant red giants

Pascale Jablonka, Pierre North

In a framework where galaxies form hierarchically, extended stellar haloes are predicted to be an ubiquitous feature around Milky Way-like galaxies and to consist mainly of the shredded stellar component of smaller galactic systems. The type of accreted st ...

Dust grain coagulation modelling: From discrete to continuous

Paola Paruta

In molecular clouds, stars are formed from a mixture of gas, plasma and dust particles. The dynamics of this formation is still actively investigated and a study of dust coagulation can help to shed light on this process. Starting from a pre-existing discr ...

Computational issues in chemo-dynamical modelling of the formation and evolution of galaxies

Pascale Jablonka, Yves Revaz, Vivien François Bonvin, Alexis Arnaudon, Matthew Luke Nichols

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 ...

The Lyman alpha reference sample VII. Spatially resolved H alpha kinematics

Hakim Atek

We present integral field spectroscopic observations with the Potsdam Multi-Aperture Spectrophotometer of all 14 galaxies in the z similar to 0.1 Lyman Alpha Reference Sample (LARS). We produce 2D line-of-sight velocity maps and velocity dispersion maps fr ...

A Consistent Picture Emerges: A Compact X-Ray Continuum Emission Region In The Gravitationally Lensed Quasar Sdss J0924+0219

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Malte Tewes

We analyze the optical, UV, and X-ray microlensing variability of the lensed quasar SDSS J0924+ 0219 using six epochs of Chandra data in two energy bands (spanning 0.4-8.0 keV, or 1-20 keV in the quasar rest frame), 10 epochs of F275W (rest-frame 1089 angs ...

Effect of salt on the H-bond symmetrization in ice

Philippe Gillet, Richard Gaal, Livia Eleonora Bove Kado

The richness of the phase diagram of water reduces drastically at very high pressures where only two molecular phases, proton-disordered ice VII and proton-ordered ice VIII, are known. Both phases transform to the centered hydrogen bond atomic phase ice X ...

Crustal differentiation in the early solar system: Clues from the unique achondrite Northwest Africa 7325 (NWA 7325)

Philippe Gillet

The unique achondrite NWA 7325 is an unusual olivine gabbro composed chiefly of calcic plagioclase (An(85-93)), diopsidic pyroxene (En(50.1-54.0) Wo(44.8-49.3) Fs(0.6-1.3)), and forsteritic olivine (Fo(97)). It is Al and Mg-rich and Fe and Na-poor and disp ...

Understanding The Unique Assembly History Of Central Group Galaxies

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib

Central galaxies (CGs) in massive halos live in unique environments with formation histories closely linked to that of the host halo. In local clusters, they have larger sizes (R-e) and lower velocity dispersions (sigma) at fixed stellar mass M-*, and much ...
