The LoReLi database: 21 cm signal inference with 3D radiative hydrodynamics simulations

Romain Meriot, Benoit Semelin

The Square Kilometer array is expected to measure the 21cm signal from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) in the coming decade, and its pathfinders may provide a statistical detection…

Mass assembly of galaxies: Smooth accretion versus mergers

Benjamin L'Huillier, Francoise Combes, Benoit Semelin

Galaxies accrete their mass by means of both smooth accretion from the cosmic web, and the mergers of smaller entities. We wish to quantify the respective role of these two modes o…

Gas inflows, star formation and metallicity evolution in galaxy pairs

P. Di Matteo, M. Montuori, M. D. Lehnert +2

It has been known since many decades that galaxy interactions can induce star formation (hereafter SF) enhancements and that one of the driving mechanisms of this enhancement is re…

The dilution peak, metallicity evolution, and dating of galaxy interactions and mergers

M. Montuori, P. Di Matteo, M. D. Lehnert +2

Strong inflows of gas from the outer disk to the inner kiloparsecs are induced during the interaction of disk galaxies. This inflow of relatively low-metallicity gas dilutes the me…

On the survival of metallicity gradients to major dry-mergers

P. Di Matteo, A. Pipino, M. D. Lehnert +2

Using a large suite of galaxies with a variety of concentrations and metallicity gradients, we study the evolution of non-dissipative ("dry") equal mass mergers. Our purpose in gen…
