Searching for Strong Gravitational Lenses

Frédéric Courbin, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon

Strong gravitational lenses provide unique laboratories for cosmological and astrophysical investigations, but they must first be discovered - a task that can be met with significant contamination by other astrophysical objects and asterisms. Here we revie ...

CLASSY. VIII. Exploring the Source of Ionization with UV Interstellar Medium Diagnostics in Local High-z Analogs

Adèle Marie Françoise Plat

In the current JWST era, rest-frame UV spectra play a crucial role in enhancing our understanding of the interstellar medium (ISM) and stellar properties of the first galaxies in the epoch of reionization (z > 6). Here, we compare well-known and reliable o ...

Euclid preparation XXX. Performance assessment of the NISP red grism through spectroscopic simulations for the wide and deep surveys

Maurizio Martinelli, Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Michaela Hirschmann, Gianluca Castignani

This work focusses on the pilot run of a simulation campaign aimed at investigating the spectroscopic capabilities of the Euclid NearInfrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP), in terms of continuum and emission line detection in the context of galaxy evo ...

A birth-death-migration model for life in astrophysical environments

Claudio Grimaldi

To assess the number of life-bearing worlds in astrophysical environments, it is necessary to take the intertwined processes of abiogenesis (birth), extinction (death), and transfer of life (migration) into account. We construct a mathematical model that i ...

Challenges and opportunities of gravitational-wave searches at MHz to GHz frequencies

Daniel Garcia Figueroa, Valerie Fiona Domcke

The first direct measurement of gravitational waves by the LIGO and Virgo collaborations has opened up new avenues to explore our Universe. This white paper outlines the challenges and gains expected in gravitational-wave searches at frequencies above the ...

Feasibility of Detecting Interstellar Panspermia in Astrophysical Environments

Claudio Grimaldi

The proposition that life can spread from one planetary system to another (interstellar panspermia) has a long history, but this hypothesis is difficult to test through observations. We develop a mathematical model that takes parameters such as the microbi ...

Data-Driven Convergence Prediction of Astrobots Swarms

Denis Gillet, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Matin Macktoobian

Astrobots are robotic artifacts whose swarms are used in astrophysical studies to generate the map of the observable universe. These swarms have to be coordinated with respect to various desired observations. Such coordination\footnote{\z{A coordination sa ...

Towards Efficient and Accurate Numerical Simulations of Galaxies using Task-based Parallelism and Application to Dwarf Galaxies

Loïc Hausammann

Numerical simulations are of a tremendous help to understand the growth of non-linear cosmological structures and how they lead to the formation of galaxies. In recent years, with the goal of improving their prediction power, new hydrodynamical techniques ...

Probing non-Gaussian stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds with LISA

Daniel Garcia Figueroa, Valerie Fiona Domcke, Nicola Bartolomei

The stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) contains a wealth of information on astrophysical and cosmological processes. A major challenge of upcoming years will be to extract the information contained in this background and to disentangle the con ...

Ultra-low noise microwave signal generation with an optical frequency comb

Romain Dany Bruno Bouchand

Photonic synthesis of radio frequency waveforms revived the quest for unrivalled microwave purity by its seducing ability to convey the benefits of the optics to the microwave world. In this contribution, we will present a high-fidelity transfer of frequen ...

Constraints on violation of Lorentz invariance from atmospheric showers initiated by multi-TeV photons

Sergey Sibiryakov

Parameterizing hypothetical violation of Lorentz invariance at high energies using the framework of effective quantum field theory, we discuss its effect on the formation of atmospheric showers by very-high-energy gamma rays. In the scenario where Lorentz ...

A detection of wobbling brightest cluster galaxies within massive galaxy clusters

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Frédéric Courbin, David Richard Harvey

A striking signal of dark matter beyond the standard model is the existence of cores in the centre of galaxy clusters. Recent simulations predict that a brightest cluster galaxy ( BCG) inside a cored galaxy cluster will exhibit residual wobbling due to pre ...

Prospective constraints on Lorentz violation from ultrahigh-energy photon detection
