Evolution of the UV slope of galaxies at cosmic morning (z > 4): The properties of extremely blue galaxies

We present an analysis of the UV continuum slope, β, using a sample of 726 galaxies with z > 4, selected from a mixture of JWST ERS, GTO, and GO observational programs. We considered only spectroscopic data obtained with the low-resolution (R ∼ 30−300) PRI ...

Distinct origins of environmentally quenched galaxies in the core and outer virialised regions of massive clusters at 0.8 &lt; z &lt; 1.5

Yannick Michael Bahé

High-redshift (

z

∼ 1) galaxy clusters are the domain where environmental quenching mechanisms are expected to emerge as important factors in the evolution of the quiescent galaxy population. Uncovering these initially subtle effects requires exploring mu ...

Rubies: Jwst/nirspec Confirmation of an Infrared-luminous, Broad-line Little Red Dot with an Ionized Outflow

Michaela Hirschmann

The JWST discovery of "little red dots" (LRDs) is reshaping our picture of the early Universe, yet the physical mechanisms driving their compact size and UV-optical colors remain elusive. Here, we report an unusually bright LRD (zspec = 3.1) observed as pa ...

3d Cmz. III. Constraining the 3d Structure of the Central Molecular Zone Via Molecular Line Emission and Absorption

Robin Gopala Tress

The Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is the largest concentration of dense molecular gas in the Galaxy, the structure of which is shaped by the complex interplay between Galactic-scale dynamics and extreme physical conditions. Understanding the 3D ...

Beyond MACS: physical properties of extremely X-ray luminous clusters at z > 0.5

Benjamin Emmanuel Nicolas Beauchesne

We present a sample of over 100 highly X-ray luminous galaxy clusters (L-X,L-0.1-2.4keV similar to 10(45 )erg s(-1)) at z similar to 0.5-0.9, discovered by the extended Massive Cluster Survey (eMACS) in ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) data. Follow-up observati ...

Euclid preparation: LXX. Forecasting detection limits for intracluster light in the Euclid Wide Survey

Georges Meylan

The intracluster light (ICL) permeating galaxy clusters is a tracer of the cluster assembly history and potentially a tracer of their dark matter structure. In this work, we explore the capability of the Euclid Wide Survey to detect ICL using HE-band mock ...

Investigating the Impact of Supernova Feedback on Satellites in Elliptical Galaxies

Michaela Hirschmann

We investigate the influence of supernova (SN) feedback on the satellites of elliptical host galaxies using hydrodynamic simulations. Utilizing a modified version of the GADGET-3 code, we perform cosmological zoom-in simulations of 11 elliptical galaxies w ...

Euclid preparation: LXII. Simulations and non-linearities beyond Lambda cold dark matter. 1. Numerical methods and validation

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan

To constrain cosmological models beyond ACDM, the development of the Euclid analysis pipeline requires simulations that capture the non-linear phenomenology of such models. We present an overview of numerical methods and N-body simulation codes developed t ...

Development of a dynamic-mesh porosity transport model for multi-dimensional fuel performance codes

Andreas Pautz, Alessandro Scolaro, Edoardo Luciano Brunetto

The porosity redistribution within nuclear fuel pellets exposed to high power ratings plays a critical role in the thermo-mechanical behavior of fast reactor fuel. Traditional fuel performance codes predict porosity migration through advection-dominated tr ...

Euclid: Early Release Observations – Unveiling the morphology of two Milky Way globular clusters out to their periphery

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan

As part of the Euclid Early Release Observations (ERO) programme, we analysed deep, wide-field imaging from the VIS and NISP instruments of two Milky Way globular clusters (GCs), namely NGC 6254 (M10) and NGC 6397, to look for observational evidence of the ...

DESI 2024 III: baryon acoustic oscillations from galaxies and quasars

Jiaxi Yu, Daniel Felipe Forero Sanchez, Antoine Philippe Jacques Rocher, Rafaela Gsponer

We present the DESI 2024 galaxy and quasar baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) measurements using over 5.7 million unique galaxy and quasar redshifts in the range 0.1 < z < 2.1. Divided by tracer type, we utilize 300,017 galaxies from the magnitude-limited ...

Fiducial-cosmology-dependent systematics for the DESI 2024 BAO analysis

Jiaxi Yu, Antoine Philippe Jacques Rocher

When measuring the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) scale from galaxy surveys, one typically assumes a fiducial cosmology when converting redshift measurements into comoving distances and also when defining input parameters for the reconstruction algorit ...

Crimson Behemoth: A massive clumpy structure hosting a dusty AGN at z =4.91

Michaela Hirschmann

The current paradigm for the co-evolution of galaxies and their supermassive black holes postulates that dust-obscured active galactic nuclei (AGNs) represent a transitional phase towards a more luminous and unobscured state. However, our understanding of ...

The phase-space distribution of the M 81 satellite system

Oliver Müller, Nick Heesters

The spatial distribution of dwarf galaxies around their host galaxies is a critical test for the standard model of cosmology because it probes the dynamics of dark matter halos and is independent of the internal baryonic processes of galaxies. Comoving pla ...

Dwarf galaxies as a probe of a primordially magnetized Universe

Yves Revaz, Salim Bennouna, Mahsa Sanati

Aims. The true nature of primordial magnetic fields (PMFs) and their role in the formation of galaxies remains elusive. To shed light on these unknowns, we investigated their impact by varying two sets of properties: (i) accounting for the effect of PMFs o ...

Strong gravitational lensing's 'external shear' is not shear

David Richard Harvey

The distribution of mass in galaxy-scale strong gravitational lenses is often modelled as an elliptical power-law plus 'external shear', which notionally accounts for neighbouring galaxies and cosmic shear along our line of sight. A small amount of externa ...
