When a globular cluster or a dwarf galaxy is tidally disrupted
due to its host galactic potential, the unbound stars assemble into
coherent filamentary structures known as stellar streams. Given the
ordered nature of their dynamical formation...
The exchange of baryons between galaxies and their surrounding
intergalactic medium (IGM) is a crucial but poorly constrained
aspect of galaxy formation and evolution. I will present results
from the Keck Baryonic Structure Survey (KBSS) and the...
Abstract 1: In this talk I'll give an overview of the Aemulus
\nu simulations: a suite of 150 N-body simulations in a w\nuCDM
parameter space. These simulations take advantage of synergies
between lagrangian perturbation theory in order to mitigate...
Abstract: Heavy-ion collision experiments
have provided overwhelming evidence that quarks and gluons can flow
as a nearly frictionless, strongly interacting relativistic fluid
over distance scales not much larger than the size of a proton. On
the...
