Tracing the high-z cosmic web with Quaia: catalogues of voids and clusters in the quasar distribution

Nestor Arsenov, Andras Kovacs, Mar Perez Sar +5

Understanding the formation and evolution of the cosmic web of galaxies is a fundamental goal of cosmology, using various tracers of the cosmic large-scale structure at an ever wid…

Toward More Realistic Mass Functions For Ultradense Dark Matter Halos

Saeed Fakhry, Marzieh Farhang, Antonino Del Popolo

Ultradense dark matter halos (UDMHs) are high concentrations of dark matter, assumed to have formed deep in the radiation-dominated era from amplified primordial perturbations. In…

The origin of spin in galaxies: clues from simulations of atomic cooling halos

Joaquin Prieto, Raul Jimenez, Zoltán Haiman +1

In order to elucidate the origin of spin in both dark matter and baryons in galaxies, we have performed hydrodynamical simulations from cosmological initial conditions. We study at…

Lepton Asymmetry and Neutrino Oscillations Interplay

Daniela Kirilova

We discuss the interplay between lepton asymmetry L and neutrino oscillations in the early Universe. Neutrino oscillations may suppress or enhance previously existing L. On the oth…

Spectra probing the number ratio of C- to M-type AGB stars in the NGC 6822 galaxy

Nikolay Kacharov, Marina Rejkuba, Maria-Rosa L. Cioni

Aims: We calibrate spectroscopically the C- versus (vs.) M-type asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star selection made using near-IR photometry, and investigate the spatial distribution…

Spectral Energy Distribution variation in BL Lacs and FSRQs

Bindu Rani, Alok C. Gupta, R. Bachev +9

We present the results of our study of spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of a sample of ten low- to intermediate-synchrotron-peaked blazars. We investigate some of the physical…
