Gravitational Waves Signals from the Collapse of the First Stars
R. Schneider, A. Ferrara, B. Ciardi +2
We study the gravitational wave emission from the first stars which are assumed to be Very Massive Objects (VMOs). We take into account various feedback (both radiative and stellar…
Effects of Clumping on the Observed Properties of Dusty Galaxies
Simone Bianchi, Andrea Ferrara, Jon Davies +1
We present Monte Carlo radiative transfer simulations for spiral galaxies modelled as a stellar disk and a two-phase clumpy dust distribution. We divide the volume occupied by the…
Inhomogeneous Reionization Regulated by Radiative and Stellar Feedbacks
B. Ciardi, A. Ferrara, F. Governato +1
We study the inhomogeneous reionization in a critical density CDM universe due to stellar sources, including Population III objects. The spatial distribution of the sources is obta…
The Role of Stellar Feedback and Dark Matter in the Evolution of Dwarf Galaxies
A. Ferrara, E. Tolstoy
Supernova and multiple supernova events regulate several structural properties of dwarf galaxies. In particular, they govern the metal enrichment and the energy budget of the ISM;…
An Atlas of Monte Carlo Models of Dust Extinction in Galaxies for Cosmological Applications
A. Ferrara, S. Bianchi, A. Cimatti +1
We present an extensive study of the radiative transfer in dusty galaxies based on Monte Carlo simulations. The main output of these simulations are the attenuation curves ${\cal A…
The Escape of Ionizing Photons from OB Associations in Disk Galaxies: Radiation Transfer Through Superbubbles
James B. Dove, J. Michael Shull, Andrea Ferrara
By solving the time-dependent radiation transfer problem of stellar radiation through evolving superbubbles within a smoothly varying HI distribution, we estimate the fraction of i…
