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.

An ALMA/NOEMA survey of the molecular gas properties of high-redshift star-forming galaxiesWe have used ALMA and NOEMA to study the molecular gas reservoirs in 61 ALMA-identified submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) in the COSMOS, UDS, and ECDFS fields. We detect 12CO ( $J_{\rm up} =$ 2-5) emission lines in 50 sources, and [C I]( 3P 1 - 3P 0) emission in eight, at $z =$ 1.2-4.8 and with a median redshift of 2.9 ± 0.2.

Machine Learning for Searching the Dark Energy Survey for Trans-Neptunian ObjectsIn this paper we investigate how implementing machine learning could improve the efficiency of the search for Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) within Dark Energy Survey (DES) data when used alongside orbit fitting. The discovery of multiple TNOs that appear to show a similarity in their orbital parameters has led to the suggestion that one or moreHenghes, B. et al.

The EDGE-CALIFA survey: exploring the role of molecular gas on galaxy star formation quenchingUnderstanding how galaxies cease to form stars represents an outstanding challenge for galaxy evolution theories. This process of "star formation quenching" has been related to various causes, including active galactic nuclei activity, the influence of large-scale dynamics, and the environment in which galaxies live.

Dust Reverberation Mapping in Distant Quasars from Optical and Mid-infrared Imaging SurveysThe size of the dust torus in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and their high-luminosity counterparts, quasars, can be inferred from the time delay between UV/optical accretion disk continuum variability and the response in the mid-infrared (MIR) torus emission. This dust reverberation mapping (RM) technique has been successfully applied to ∼70 z ≲ 0Yang, Qian et al.

Noise from undetected sources in Dark Energy Survey imagesFor ground-based optical imaging with current CCD technology, the Poisson fluctuations in source and sky background photon arrivals dominate the noise budget and are readily estimated.

Emergence of an Ultrared, Ultramassive Galaxy Cluster Core at z = 4Recent simulations and observations of massive galaxy cluster evolution predict that the majority of stellar mass buildup happens within cluster members by z = 2, before cluster virialization. Protoclusters rich with dusty, star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) at z > 3 are the favored candidate progenitors for these massive galaxy clusters at z ∼ 0. WeLong, Arianna S. et al.
