First Light And Reionisation Epoch Simulations (FLARES) VIII. The Emergence of Passive Galaxies at
Christopher C. Lovell, Will Roper, Aswin P. Vijayan +9
Passive galaxies are ubiquitous in the local universe, and various physical channels have been proposed that lead to this passivity. To date, robust passive galaxy candidates have…
Robust topological oscillators govern a tunable phase transition to synchronized circadian rhythms
Chongbin Zheng, Peter Thomas, Evelyn Tang
The paper proposes a mechanism by which stochastic circadian KaiC proteins, which follow topologically protected cycles, can synchronize through a phase transition that depends on…
Simulating Supernovae Remnants in Gas Clouds
Simon Goodwin, Frazer Pearce, Peter Thomas
The Hydra -body hydrodynamics code has been modified to model, from the end of the Sedov phase, the effects of supernovae on the surrounding medium. The motivation is to investi…
Nebular Line Emission During the Epoch of Reionization
Stephen M. Wilkins, Christopher C. Lovell, Ciaran Fairhurst +6
Nebular emission lines associated with galactic HII regions carry information about both physical properties of the ionised gas and the source of ionising photons as well as provid…
Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA): halo formation times and halo assembly bias on the cosmic web
Rita Tojeiro, Elizabeth Eardley, John A. Peacock +10
We present evidence for halo assembly bias as a function of geometric environment. By classifying GAMA galaxy groups as residing in voids, sheets, filaments or knots using a tidal…
Monte Carlo Markov Chain Parameter Estimation in Semi-Analytic Models of Galaxy Formation
Bruno Henriques, Peter Thomas, Seb Oliver +1
[abridged] We present a statistical exploration of the parameter space of the De Lucia and Blaizot version of the Munich semi-analytic model built upon the millennium dark matter s…
Galaxy formation in WMAP1 and WMAP7 cosmologies
Qi Guo, Simon White, Raul E. Angulo +5
Using the technique of Angulo & White (2010) we scale the Millennium and Millennium-II simulations of structure growth in a LCDM universe from the cosmological parameters with whic…
Variational Quantum Harmonizer: Generating Chord Progressions and Other Sonification Methods with the VQE Algorithm
Paulo Vitor ItaboraÃ, Tim Schwägerl, MarÃa Aguado Yáñez +4
This work investigates a case study of using physical-based sonification of Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problems, optimized by the Variational Quantum Eigens…
Eye Gaze Controlled Interfaces for Head Mounted and Multi-Functional Displays in Military Aviation Environment
LRD Murthy, Abhishek Mukhopadhyay, Varshit Yellheti +6
Eye gaze controlled interfaces allow us to directly manipulate a graphical user interface just by looking at it. This technology has great potential in military aviation, in partic…
The Lyman-continuum photon production efficiency in the high-redshift Universe
Stephen M. Wilkins, Yu Feng, Tiziana Di Matteo +4
The Lyman Continuum photon production efficiency () is a critical ingredient for inferring the number of photons available to reionise the intergalactic medium. To es…
Galaxy formation in the PLANCK cosmology - III. The high-redshift universe
Scott Clay, Peter Thomas, Stephen Wilkins +1
We present high-redshift predictions of the star-formation-rate distribution function (SFR DF), UV luminosity function (UV LF), galactic stellar mass function (GSMF), and specific…
Simulating the joint evolution of quasars, galaxies and their large-scale distribution
Volker Springel, Simon D. M. White, Adrian Jenkins +14
The cold dark matter model has become the leading theoretical paradigm for the formation of structure in the Universe. Together with the theory of cosmic inflation, this model make…
Developing a Framework for Sonifying Variational Quantum Algorithms: Implications for Music Composition
Paulo Vitor ItaboraÃ, Peter Thomas, Arianna Crippa +3
This chapter examines the Variational Quantum Harmonizer, a software tool and musical interface that focuses on the problem of sonification of the minimization steps of Variational…
Galaxy formation in the Planck Cosmology - I. Matching the observed evolution of star formation rates, colours and stellar masses
Bruno Henriques, Simon White, Peter Thomas +5
We have updated the Munich galaxy formation model to the Planck first-year cosmology, while modifying the treatment of baryonic processes to reproduce recent data on the abundance…
Simulations of the galaxy population constrained by observations from z=3 to the present day: implications for galactic winds and the fate of their ejecta
Bruno Henriques, Simon White, Peter Thomas +4
We apply Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) methods to large-scale simulations of galaxy formation in a LambdaCDM cosmology in order to explore how star formation and feedback are con…
The effect of dwarf galaxies disruption in semi-analytic models
Bruno Henriques, Serena Bertone, Peter Thomas
We present results for a galaxy formation model that includes a simple treatment for the disruption of dwarf galaxies by gravitational forces and galaxy encounters within galaxy cl…
L-GALAXIES 2020: Spatially resolved cold gas phases, star formation and chemical enrichment in galactic discs
Bruno Henriques, Rob Yates, Jian Fu +5
