Cosmic Web: galaxies and the large-scale structure

Motivation: we will focus on few selected topics related with the formation of galaxies and the large-scale structure of the universe.

List of main topics:

  • Formation of galaxies in the expanding Universe: models, simulations, physics
  • Early stages of galaxy evolution: gas around galaxies, absorption lines, infall and outflow of gas.
  • Neutral hydrogen and reheating, Ly-a forest
  • Large-scale structure: non-linear and quasi-linear effects. Baryonic oscillations.
  • Large cosmological simulations: constraints on cosmological parameters.

This workshop is sponsored by the Astrophysics and Cosmology Center (ACCent) - a focus-activity center within the Los Alamos National Laboratory's Institute for Advanced Studies, one of five joint LANL-academia institutes operating under the umbrella of the National Security Education Center at Los Alamos. The IAS promotes and enhances
collaborations between LANL and three New Mexico universities (New Mexico State, New Mexico Tech, and the University of New Mexico). In addition, the IAS promotes strategic connections with the national and international scientific community in its thrust areas.
