Seminario de Astrofísica en el IFIS. El próximo martes 24 de septiembre, Celeste Artale de la Universidad Andrés Bello presenta “Cosmological Hydrodynamical Simulations as a Tool to Study the Universe” desde las 14:30 en la Sala 208 del Instituto de Física PUCV.
Te dejamos el abstract:
Cosmological hydrodynamical simulations are a powerful tool for exploring and predicting different aspects of the Universe. On one hand, these simulations improve our understanding of how stellar evolution influences the formation and evolution of galaxies. On the other hand, it allows us to explore the large-scale structure of the cosmos. In this talk, I will show how I exploit cosmological hydrodynamical simulations in my current research. Specifically, I will focus on two aspects: 1. The identification of likely host galaxies for binary compact object mergers. By integrating synthetic galaxy catalogs with stellar evolution models, we can investigate the properties of host galaxies and their progenitors, such as high-mass X-ray binaries. 2. The evolution of galaxy populations within high-redshift protoclusters into the massive clusters we observe today. I will show how simulations map different galaxy populations (such as Lyman-alpha emitters and submillimeter galaxies) in protocluster regions and offer robust predictions for upcoming surveys. Finally, I will discuss how future simulations will shed light on the processes shaping our Universe.
