Evaluating Galactic Habitability Using High Resolution Cosmological Simulations of Galaxy Formation
Duncan Forgan, Pratika Dayal, Charles Cockell +1
We present the first model that couples high-resolution simulations of the formation of Local Group galaxies with calculations of the galactic habitable zone (GHZ), a region of spa…
The quest for cradles of life: using the fundamental metallicity relation to hunt for the most habitable type of galaxy
Pratika Dayal, Charles Cockell, Ken Rice +1
The field of astrobiology has made huge strides in understanding the habitable zones around stars (Stellar Habitable Zones) where life can begin, sustain its existence and evolve i…
The Cosmic Dawn and Epoch of Reionization with the Square Kilometre Array
L. V. E. Koopmans, J. Pritchard, G. Mellema +42
Concerted effort is currently ongoing to open up the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) (15-6) for studies with IR and radio telescopes. Whereas IR detections have been made of sou…
The dust mass in z > 6 normal star forming galaxies
Mattia Mancini, Raffaella Schneider, Luca Graziani +5
We interpret recent ALMA observations of z > 6 normal star forming galaxies by means of a semi-numerical method, which couples the output of a cosmological hydrodynamical simulatio…
Clustering and lifetime of Lyman Alpha Emitters in the Epoch of Reionization
Anne Hutter, Pratika Dayal, Volker Müller
We calculate Lyman Alpha Emitter (LAE) angular correlation functions (ACFs) at and the fraction of lifetime (for the 100 Myrs preceding ) galaxies spend…
Reionization and Galaxy Formation in Warm Dark Matter Cosmologies
Pratika Dayal, Tirthankar Roy Choudhury, Volker Bromm +1
We compare model results from a semi-analytic (merger-tree based) framework for high-redshift (z ~ 5-20) galaxy formation against reionization indicators, including the Planck elec…
