The dusty, albeit ultraviolet bright infancy of galaxies

J. Devriendt, C. Rimes, C. Pichon +11

The largest galaxies acquire their mass early on, when the Universe is still youthful. Cold streams violently feed these young galaxies a vast amount of fresh gas, resulting in ver…

Eulerian and Lagrangian propagators for the adhesion model (Burgers dynamics)

Francis Bernardeau, Patrick Valageas

Motivated by theoretical studies of gravitational clustering in the Universe, we compute propagators (response functions) in the adhesion model. This model, which is able to reprod…

Merging and fragmentation in the Burgers dynamics

Francis Bernardeau, Patrick Valageas

We explore the noiseless Burgers dynamics in the inviscid limit, the so-called ``adhesion model'' in cosmology, in a regime where (almost) all the fluid particles are embedded with…

Diffuse gamma ray constraints on annihilating or decaying Dark Matter after Fermi

Marco Cirelli, Paolo Panci, Pasquale D. Serpico
