The effect of rotation on the thermal instability of stratified galactic atmospheres - II. The formation of High Velocity Clouds
Mattia Sormani, Emanuele Sobacchi
Whether High Velocity Clouds (HVCs) can form by condensation of the hot () Galactic corona as a consequence of thermal instabilities has been controversial.…
The effect of rotation on the thermal instability of stratified galactic atmospheres - I. Local analysis
Emanuele Sobacchi, Mattia Sormani
Observations show that (i) multiple gas phases can coexist in the atmospheres of galaxies and clusters; (ii) these atmospheres may be significantly rotating in the inner parts, wit…
Probing the High-Redshift Universe with SPICA: Toward the Epoch of Reionization and Beyond
E. Egami, S. Gallerani, R. Schneider +36
With the recent discovery of a dozen dusty star-forming galaxies and around 30 quasars at z>5 that are hyper-luminous in the infrared ( L, where $μ…
Models of rotating coronae
Mattia C. Sormani, Emanuele Sobacchi, Gabriele Pezzulli +2
Fitting equilibrium dynamical models to observational data is an essential step in understanding the structure of the gaseous hot haloes that surround our own and other galaxies. H…
A dynamical mechanism for the origin of nuclear rings
Mattia C. Sormani, Emanuele Sobacchi, Francesca Fragkoudi +4
We develop a dynamical theory for the origin of nuclear rings in barred galaxies. In analogy with the standard theory of accretion discs, our theory is based on shear viscous force…
Galaxy evolution studies with the SPace IR telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics (SPICA): the power of IR spectroscopy
L. Spinoglio, A. Alonso-Herrero, L. Armus +65
IR spectroscopy in the range 12-230 micron with the SPace IR telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics (SPICA) will reveal the physical processes that govern the formation and evolu…
