Descripción
Dos cuestiones fundamentales en la Astrofísica son la conversión de gas molecuar en estrellas y cómo este proceso físico depende del entorno en todas las escalas, desde sistemas planetarios, cúmulos estelares, galaxias hasta cúmulos de galaxias. El objectivo principal de este proyecto es el de estudiar la formación y evolución de galaxias a partir de la materia interstellar. Por ello, estudiaremos el gas molecuar frío, el combustible de la formación estelar y el polvo, producto residual del proceso de formación, en galaxias a través del tiempo cósmico. Los estudios están basados, sobre todo, en observaciones en el infrarrojo lejano y en el radio. Nos centraremos en observaciones con interferómetros de radio como son NOEMA, ALMA, ATCA, SMA y VLA. Se preveen estrechas colaboraciones con otros proyectos del IAC, sobre todo para observaciones de galaxias con telescopios de radio. El grupo de trabajo caracterizará las propiedades de la formación estelar de galaxias masivas en el universo lejano a través del tiempo cósmico. Esto nos dará la oportunidad de estudiar la secuencia de formación de galaxias con brote estelar. Además, este grupo de trabajo investigará fuentes selecionadas desde cúmulos de galaxias y del campo para explorar la evolución de galaxias en funcion del entorno. Además, realizaremos estudios complementarios de galaxias locales (seleccionadas desde CALIFA y WEAVE-APERTIF) que servirán de referencia para investigaciones futuras de galaxias a alto redshift.

The 700 ks Chandra Spiderweb Field. I. Evidence for widespread nuclear activity in the protoclusterAims: We present an analysis of the 700 ks Chandra ACIS-S observation of the field around the radio galaxy J1140-2629 (the Spiderweb Galaxy) at z = 2.156, focusing on the nuclear activity in the associated large-scale environment.

Tomography of the environment of the COSMOS/AzTEC-3 submillimeter galaxy at z ∼ 5.3 revealed by Lyα and MUSE observationsContext. Submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) have been proposed as the progenitors of massive ellipticals in the local Universe. Mapping the neutral gas distribution and investigating the gas accretion toward the SMGs at high redshift can provide information on the way SMG environments can evolve into clusters at z = 0. Aims: In this work, we study theGuaita, L. et al.

Submillimetre galaxies in two massive protoclusters at z = 2.24: witnessing the enrichment of extreme starbursts in the outskirts of HAE density peaksSubmillimetre galaxies represent a rapid growth phase of both star formation and massive galaxies. Mapping SMGs in galaxy protoclusters provides key insights into where and how these extreme starbursts take place in connections with the assembly of the large-scale structure in the early Universe. We search for SMGs at 850 $\rm{\mu m}$ using JCMTZhang, Yuheng et al.
