Advances on GRB as cosmological tools
G. Ghirlanda
Several interesting correlations among Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) prompt and afterglow properties have been found in the recent years. Some of these correlations have been proposed als…
Spectral libraries and their uncertainties
Paula Coelho
Libraries of stellar spectra are fundamental tools in the study of stellar populations and in automatic determination of atmospheric parameters for large samples of observed stars.…
"Ab initio" models of galaxy formation: successes and open problems
Gabriella De Lucia
In the past decades, different approaches have been developed in order to link the physical properties of galaxies to the dark matter haloes in which they reside. In this review, I…
The Mass-Metallicity relation in galaxies of different morphological types
F. Calura, A. Pipino, C. Chiappini +4
By means of chemical evolution models of different morphological types, we study the mass-metallicity (MZ) relation and its evolution with redshift. Our aim is to understand the ro…
Unsolved Problems about Supernovae
Nino Panagia
A number of unsolved problems and open questions about the nature and the properties of supernovae are identified and briefly discussed. Some suggestions and directions toward poss…
Early metal enrichment in high-redshift quasars
R. Maiolino
Quasars are powerful systems whose spectrum is rich of metal features that allow us to investigate the chemical evolution of galaxies at very high redshift, even close to the reion…
The rate of type Ia Supernovae and the star formation history
L. Greggio, E. Cappellaro
The scaling of the rate of type Ia Supernovae (SNIa) with the parent galaxies' color provides information on the distribution of the delay times (DTD) of the SNIa progenitors. We s…
The End of Amnesia: Measuring the Metallicities of Type Ia SN Progenitors with Manganese Lines in Supernova Remnants
Carles Badenes, Eduardo Bravo, John P. Hughes
The Mn to Cr mass ratio in supernova ejecta has recently been proposed as a tracer of Type Ia SN progenitor metallicity. We review the advantages and problems of this observable qu…
The supernova rate: a critical ingredient and an important tool
F. Mannucci
In this review I summarize the role of supernova rate as a critical ingredient of modern astrophysics, and as an important tool to understand SN explosions. Many years of active ob…
The cannonball model of long GRBs - overview
Shlomo Dado, Arnon Dar
During the past ten years, the predictions of the cannonball (CB) model of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) were repeatedly confronted with the mounting data from space- and ground-based ob…
Uncertainties and Systematic Effects on the estimate of stellar masses in high z galaxies
S. Salimbeni, A. Fontana, E. Giallongo +4
We discuss the uncertainties and the systematic effects that exist in the estimates of the stellar masses of high redshift galaxies, using broad band photometry, and how they affec…
The formation and evolution of early-type galaxies : solid results and open questions
Andrea Cimatti
The most recent results and some of the open key questions on the evolution of early-type galaxies are reviewed in the general cosmological context of massive galaxy formation.
