CLASH-VLT: A Highly Precise Strong Lensing Model of the Galaxy Cluster RXC J2248.7-4431 (Abell S1063) and Prospects for Cosmography

G. B. Caminha, C. Grillo, P. Rosati +32

We perform a comprehensive study of the total mass distribution of the galaxy cluster RXCJ2248 () with a set of high-precision strong lensing models, which take advantage…

Discovery of a faint, star-forming, multiply lensed, Lyman-alpha blob

G. B. Caminha, W. Karman, P. Rosati +7

We report the discovery of a multiply lensed Lyman- blob (LAB) behind the galaxy cluster AS1063 using the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on the Very Large Telescope (V…

The story of supernova 'Refsdal' told by MUSE

C. Grillo, W. Karman, S. H. Suyu +10

We present MUSE observations in the core of the HFF galaxy cluster MACS J1149.5+2223, where the first magnified and spatially-resolved multiple images of SN 'Refsdal' at redshift 1…

"Refsdal" meets Popper: comparing predictions of the re-appearance of the multiply imaged supernova behind MACSJ1149.5+2223

T. Treu, G. Brammer, J. M. Diego +25

Supernova "Refsdal," multiply imaged by cluster MACSJ1149.5+2223, represents a rare opportunity to make a true blind test of model predictions in extragalactic astronomy, on a time…

A highly-ionized region surrounding SN Refsdal revealed by MUSE

W. Karman, C. Grillo, I. Balestra +9

Supernova (SN) Refsdal is the first multiply-imaged, highly-magnified, and spatially-resolved SN ever observed. The SN exploded in a highly-magnified spiral galaxy at z=1.49 behind…

From Discs to Bulges: effect of mergers on the morphology of galaxies

Rahul Kannan, Andrea V. Maccio', Fabio Fontanot +3

We study the effect of mergers on the morphology of galaxies by means of the simulated merger tree approach first proposed by Moster et al. This method combines N-body cosmological…

Star formation in mergers with cosmologically motivated initial conditions

Wouter Karman, Andrea V. Maccio, Rahul Kannan +2

We use semi-analytic models and cosmological merger trees to provide the initial conditions for multi-merger numerical hydrodynamic simulations, and exploit these simulations to ex…
