Drifting through the Cosmic Web, 6-11.VII.2015 @Aix-en-Provence, France
by Boud Roukema 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

The goal of this conference is to gather theorists, simulators and observers to brainstorm over the structure of the cosmic web and its influence on galaxy properties. In particular we wish to address the following points: -our theoretical understanding of the cosmic web, its dynamics and evolution (3D structure of the dark matter field, impact of the nature of dark matter on structure formation, mechanism of acquisition of angular momentum of collapsed structures, the dynamics and persistence of cold streams); - the characterization of the components of the cosmic web, i.e. nodes, filaments, walls and voids: what are the different techniques to extract them from simulations and observations? - Numerical predictions and observational signatures of the influence of the cosmic web on galaxy properties (cold streams, cosmic gas accretion as regulator of star-formation and galaxy growth, CGM physics, feedback, metal enrichment); - Challenges: 3D spectroscopy, HI surveys, reconstruction of density fields from galaxy surveys, zoom-in techniques in simulation. Questions and comments should be sent to: aix2015 lam.fr Web site available here : http://aix2015.lam.fr/

Witam wszystkim, If anyone is interested in creating a Polish-institute consortium for participation in 4MOST (multi-fibre spectroscopic complement to GAIA, EUCLID and eROSITA), please contact me so that we can coordinate. Info on 4MOST: http://www.aip.de/en/research/research-area-ea/research-groups-and-projects… Since Poland is about to join ESO (once the Sejm votes it and the President signs), we should have a strong argument for participation. pozdr Boud

Otoz 15 wrzesnia mamy termin skladania listow intencyjnych na misje M4 ESA. Zapadla decyzja - CoRE+ zamierza taki list zlozyc (a potem wlasciwy propozal w styczniu). Aktualnie potrzebna jest w zwiazku z tym: a) lista polskich instytutow, ktore bylyby sklonne sie w misje zaangazowac b) lista "kluczowych osob", ktore by mialy te instytucje reprezentowac Dajcie mi prosze znac do wtorku, czy jestescie zainteresowani - w imieniu Waszych instytucji i wlasnym. Trzeba bedzie sie nastepnie zastanowic, na jaki wklad hardware'owy mamy szanse i jak mozna by go sfinansowac, ale to krok kolejny. Na poczatek potrzebne mi Wasze deklaracje (a jesli kogos pominelam, to tez prosze przypomnijcie!). Pozdrowienia, Agnieszka

by Boud Roukema 29 Apr '14

29 Apr '14

******************* The meeting with the Directore of the Canada-French Hawaii Telescope May 30th, 11:30, CAMK The present director of the CFHT (Canada-French Hawaii Telescope), Doug Simons, and the science director of CFHT, Daniel Devost will visit CAMK with the aim to show the plans of constructing a new telescope - Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer (MSE, earlier nCFHT, see: http://www.ngcfht.org/[www.ngcfht.org]). MSE will be a 10 m telescope devoted to multiobject spectroscopy, with planned repeated observations of a give field of view. This gives the possibility to study the variability of weak sources - mostly galaxies, but also stars and the interstellar/intergalactic medium. The meeting will be held at CAMK, May 30th, most likely at 11:30. If you are interested, please contact us (bcz camk.edu.pl). Polish Astronomical Society is the co-organizer of the meeting. Michał Chodorowski Bożena Czerny Agnieszka Pollo ********************** Spotkanie z Dyrektorami Canada-French Hawaii Telescope 30 maja, 11:30, CAMK, Warszawa 30 maja będą w Polsce z wizytą aktualny dyrektor CFHT (Canada-French Hawaii Telescope), Doug Simons, oraz dyrektor naukowy CFHT, Daniel Devost, żeby opowiedzieć nam o planach nowego planowanego teleskopu - Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer (MSE, wcześniej nCFHT, więcej informacji: http://www.ngcfht.org/[www.ngcfht.org]). MSE ma być 10 m teleskopem przeznaczonym do spektroskopii wieloobiektowej, na dużych obszarach nieba, z opcją prowadzenia przeglądów spektroskopowych powtarzanych w niedługich odstępach czasu (czyli daje możliwości badania zmienności widmowej słabych źródeł - przede wszystkim galaktyk, ale również gwiazd i materii międzygwiazdowej/międzygalaktycznej). Spotkanie odbędzie się prawdopodobnie 30 maja o godz. 11:30 w CAMK (możliwe zmiany). Zainteresowanych prosimy o kontakt (bcz camk.edu.pl). Spotkaniu patronuje PTA.
