XC in N-body Simulations with neutrinos

During a 1-day workshop in Merate on Wednesday, September 23rd, 2015, Darklight post-doc fellow Carmelita Carbone will present the first set of cosmological simulations produced within the “Dark Energy and Massive Neutrino Universe” (DEMNUni) project. These simulations are characterized by L=2Gpc/h, Npart=2×2048^3, a baseline LCDM-Planck cosmology, and four different total neutrino masses, Mnu=0,0.17,0.3,0.53 eV, with a degenerate mass spectrum. They are the largest…

Astronomy in the era of the LSST

In the week 24-28 November, Prof. Andy Connolly from the University of Washington (Seattle, USA) visited the Darklight group in Merate, delivering a beautiful talk on the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). This is one of the most exciting galaxy survey projects of the next decade, entailing the construction of a dedicated 8m telescope with large field of view, which for ten years will…
