The exchange of baryons between galaxies and their surrounding
intergalactic medium (IGM) is a crucial but poorly constrained
aspect of galaxy formation and evolution. I will present results
from the Keck Baryonic Structure Survey (KBSS) and the...
Abstract 1: In this talk I'll give an overview of the Aemulus
\nu simulations: a suite of 150 N-body simulations in a w\nuCDM
parameter space. These simulations take advantage of synergies
between lagrangian perturbation theory in order to mitigate...
Abstract: Heavy-ion collision experiments
have provided overwhelming evidence that quarks and gluons can flow
as a nearly frictionless, strongly interacting relativistic fluid
over distance scales not much larger than the size of a proton. On
the...
The Magellan Infrared Multi-object Spectrograph (MIRMOS) is a
next-generation near-infrared multi-object spectrograph and
integral field unit slated for the Magellan 6.5m telescopes. MIRMOS
is designed to address frontier scientific questions in...
In the weakly-collisional intracluster medium (ICM) and solar
wind, the flow of energy from hydrodynamic to electron kinetic
scales dictates the light and waves that we see with telescopes or
with satellites in the heliosphere. We explore two...
High-velocity clouds (HVCs) around the Milky Way provide direct
evidence of ongoing gas accretion that could fuel the future star
formation activity of the Galaxy. Theories and numerical
simulations predict that the magnetic field significantly...
