Hi all,

this week's astronomy seminar will be given by our own Yannick Bahé, talking about the cosmic web and galaxies. Yannick has some tight time constraints on Wed, so there will be no lunch/meet-the-speaker session. We have booked C5, but if C4 is free we will move there as the lights are better (C4 is booked at the seminar time but may well be empty).

Post-seminar refreshments will be wine and cheese.

Timings are as usual:

- seminar at 15:45 in C5/C4
- post-seminar wine and cheese at 16:45

This seminar will be conducted in person only.

Best,
Jesse and Luke

Simulating the cosmic web and its galaxies

Galaxies are not distributed randomly in our Universe, but trace an intricate “cosmic web” with galaxy clusters and filaments as its most prominent elements. Observations tell us that these different environments have a strong impact on the galaxies within them, but our theoretical understanding of this co-evolution remains patchy. In this seminar, I illustrate how modern hydrodynamic simulations can help fill this gap and provide physical insight into the processes that shape clusters, filaments, and their galaxies. I will highlight progress on three central questions: Why have so many galaxies in clusters quenched their star formation? What is the origin of the faint “intra-cluster light” that permeates galaxy clusters? And how much do filaments really affect the evolution of galaxies? To end, I will discuss how new tools will soon enable another leap forward in our modelling and understanding of the cosmic web.
