Dear All,

                  We have a seminar next week. The details are provided below -

-----------------------------------------

Speaker: Andrius Tamosiunas (Institute of Theoretical Physics (IFT), UAM-CSIC Madrid)

Seminar date: July 8th, Tuesday, 1 pm UK time

Venue: Seminar Room A 113 (Cripps North Building, CAPT)


Title: Probing the Shape of the Universe: Approaches with Artificial Intelligence


Abstract: While there has been tremendous success in measuring the geometry of the Universe, the question of cosmic topology remains open. A Universe with non-trivial topology would have potentially observable effects, such as "clone" images of astronomical sources or circular patterns in the CMB ("circles in the sky"). In this talk I will present an overview of the recent studies of non-trivial topologies and their observational signatures. I will outline the effects of non-trivial topology on the CMB anisotropies. Finally, I will summarise our recent efforts to employ machine learning to search for the observational signatures of cosmic topology.

Hi Everyone,
      Good Morning!  For those of your here this week, we just wanted to remind you about this week's seminar from Dr. Yara Jaffe, who will be visiting the department from the Wednesday the 9th to Friday the 11th.  The seminar will be at 15:45 in A113 on Wednesday.  Followed by wine and cheese as usual.

The title and abstract can be found below.

Cheers,
Jesse and Luke

Environmental quenching of galaxies across the cosmic web

>From a galaxy?s perspective, its environment evolves continuously over cosmic time, as it migrates from low- to high-density regions along the cosmic web. In this talk, I will review our current understanding of how such environmental changes shape galaxy evolution, focusing on both gravitational interactions between galaxies and hydrodynamical processes involving the surrounding intragroup or intracluster medium. I will highlight recent discoveries of galaxies caught in the act of transformation, most notably the striking ?jellyfish? galaxies, which are undergoing dramatic gas stripping due to intense ram-pressure.

A key challenge in this field is disentangling the cumulative impact of different environmental mechanisms, especially considering that galaxies may be ?pre-processed? in groups and filaments before falling into massive clusters. To address this complexity, we are leading the CHANCES survey, a major 4MOST program designed to systematically explore galaxy transformation across a wide range of environments and redshifts. I will present some early results and discuss future perspectives.

Postdoctoral Position in Galaxy Evolution with JWST Data

Universidade Cidade de S?o Paulo (UNICID), Brazil


We invite applications for a postdoctoral position at UNICID to work on galaxy evolution using JWST data from the CEERS, JADES, and NEP surveys. The successful candidate will contribute to a number of interconnected research projects aimed at understanding the mass assembly and chemical enrichment of galaxies across cosmic time. At intermediate redshifts, we will provide a first-order estimate of the fraction of ex-situ stellar components in galaxies by applying spectral fitting techniques to LEGA-C data, searching for deviations in the stellar mass?metallicity relation. These studies will be complemented by proposals for integral field spectroscopy, allowing spatially resolved analysis of stellar metallicity as a tracer of galaxies' assembly history. At higher redshifts, the focus will be on JWST-CEERS data to extend morphological classification to galaxies up to z?8, enabling the study of structural features at early cosmic times. In parallel, we will conduct a detailed analysis of stellar population parameters at high redshift, evaluating current model limitations and comparing results from spectral and SED fitting approaches.

Qualifications:
 Applicants should have a strong background in data analysis, statistics, and galaxy evolution, with demonstrated proficiency in Python programming. Experience with spectral fitting, SED modeling, and large survey datasets will be considered an asset.

Fellowship Details: The position is funded by FAPESP and includes:

  *   Annual tax-free stipend of R$ 144,000 (Brazilian reais)
  *   Research grant of R$ 14,400 per year
  *   Relocation assistance
  *   Additional funding for travel to conferences

How to Apply:
 Interested candidates should send the following documents to rrdecarvalho2008 at gmail.com<mailto:rrdecarvalho2008 at gmail.com> or b.barbuy at iag.usp.br<mailto:b.barbuy at iag.usp.br> by September 30th, 2025:

  *   Curriculum Vitae
  *   List of publications
  *   Brief research proposal (1?2 pages)


We encourage early applications. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.

Good morning,

I am going to the VR Lab in Engineering tomorrow in order to try out a couple of pieces of software on quantum physics and astronomy. If anyone wants to join, I will be leaving the CAPT foyer at 12:50pm. Let me know if you want to come and I?ll add you to the calendar invite so we have an idea of numbers.

There is a functionality to create a virtual gallery to show off your astronomical images, and the JWST app is incredible. You can also watch the Apollo landings and explore Mars. The VR lead Chris Booker will be there and he is well worth speaking to if you are interested in using the suite for outreach, teaching or conferences. Chemistry, for example, are developing a health and safety training programme for their new undergraduates, combining chemicals to understand what might happen if correct H&S protocols are not followed (i.e. a big boom).

Kind regards,

Emma

Dear all,

We are planning to go for dinner with Yara Yaff? (tomorrow's seminar speaker and visitor) after her seminar. I will make a reservation probably at Caf? Roya, for 6/6:30-ish.

If you would like to join us please let me know by, say, tomorrow 11am.

We will also go for lunch, probably to Portland. Everybody welcome to join us (we will be leaving CAPT at 12:30, so let's meet in the foyer).

Best wishes,

Hi all,

This is a reminder that we have a seminar today from our visitor (and former Nottingham PhD student) Professor Yara Jaffe, who will be visiting the group until Friday the 11th.

The seminar will be at 15:45 in A113,  followed by wine and cheese as usual.

The title and abstract can be found below.

Best wishes,

Alfonso

Environmental quenching of galaxies across the cosmic web

>From a galaxy's perspective, its environment evolves continuously over cosmic time, as it migrates from low- to high-density regions along the cosmic web. In this talk, I will review our current understanding of how such environmental changes shape galaxy evolution, focusing on both gravitational interactions between galaxies and hydrodynamical processes involving the surrounding intragroup or intracluster medium. I will highlight recent discoveries of galaxies caught in the act of transformation, most notably the striking "jellyfish" galaxies, which are undergoing dramatic gas stripping due to intense ram-pressure.

A key challenge in this field is disentangling the cumulative impact of different environmental mechanisms, especially considering that galaxies may be "pre-processed" in groups and filaments before falling into massive clusters. To address this complexity, we are leading the CHANCES survey, a major 4MOST program designed to systematically explore galaxy transformation across a wide range of environments and redshifts. I will present some early results and discuss future perspectives.

Dear all,
As there are a few new faces in the building, I?d like to remind people about fire safety and what to do when the fire alarm sounds continuously. I have also been asked to remind people not to wedge fire doors open ? which includes the kitchen door.

In this building we operate a fire-tag system, and the attached document says a few words about this. Basically, if the tag is there when the fire alarm is sounding, please pick it up and clear the floor that it corresponds to ? but only do this if it is safe to do so. Then leave. That way, when both tags are collected, we know that the building is empty. If you have any questions, please come and have a chat with me.

Best wishes,
Paul.

Hi everyone,

At the forthcoming conference for Mike and Alfonso in Brazil, I am planning on showing a photo of the Nottingham Astronomy Group as it has grown to today.  At present, we do not have such a photo so I would like to organise one at 12:00pm this Thursday (17th July).

I would like to show our group at full force, so please try to attend if at all possible.  Any associate Astronomy Group members from the Particle Theory Group, technical staff and Admin staff are of course welcome to join as well.

Weather permitting, I?d like to take the photo at the entrance to the building, so we can include the building's sign.  I'll take a photo of just the academic staff to begin with and then ask the rest of the group to join.

If you're available, please meet in the foyer at 12pm on Thursday.
Thanks for your cooperation!

Title: Some "background checks" for Warm Inflation.

Abstract: Warm Inflation is a variant inflationary scenario where the inflaton field continuously dissipates its energy to a subdominant radiation bath during inflation. Among the many advantages that WI has over its more standard counterpart, which we will refer to as Cold Inflation, is that WI smoothly transits to a radiation dominated Universe post inflation without invoking the need of a reheating phase, dynamics of which is still quite unknown. The dissipation effects effective during Warm Inflation makes the dynamics of the inflation quite intricate. Even the simple graceful exit in Cold Inflation turns out to be not so simple in Warm Inflation. In this talk, we will do the background analysis of Warm Inflation and shed light on how Warm Inflation ends or gracefully exits. These graceful exit criteria also constrain the form of the potential and the dissipative coefficients that one may choose for their Warm Inflationary model. Moreover, it indicates whether Warm Inflation can at all exit to a radiation dominated epoch or not.

Dear All,

(Please note the unusual day and time)

Speaker: Suratna Das (Ashoka University, Delhi, India)

Seminar date: July 25th, Friday, 02:30 pm UK time

Venue: Seminar Room A 113 (Cripps North Building, CAPT)


Title: Some "background checks" for Warm Inflation.

Abstract: Warm Inflation is a variant inflationary scenario where the inflaton field continuously dissipates its energy to a subdominant radiation bath during inflation. Among the many advantages that WI has over its more standard counterpart, which we will refer to as Cold Inflation, is that WI smoothly transits to a radiation dominated Universe post inflation without invoking the need of a reheating phase, dynamics of which is still quite unknown. The dissipation effects effective during Warm Inflation makes the dynamics of the inflation quite intricate. Even the simple graceful exit in Cold Inflation turns out to be not so simple in Warm Inflation. In this talk, we will do the background analysis of Warm Inflation and shed light on how Warm Inflation ends or gracefully exits. These graceful exit criteria also constrain the form of the potential and the dissipative coefficients that one may choose for their Warm Inflationary model. Moreover, it indicates whether Warm Inflation can at all exit to a radiation dominated epoch or not.

Hi everyone,

At the recent department photo, several people were missing.  Therefore, in order to try and ensure everyone is included I plan to take another photo tomorrow and then merge the two versions.

This will take place tomorrow at 1:30pm (Tuesday 29th July).  Even if you were in the first photo, it would be great if you could try and attend again, if you are available.  This will make merging the two photos easier.  As before, any associate Astronomy Group members from the Particle Theory Group, technical staff and Admin staff are welcome to join as well.

If you're available, please meet in the foyer at 1:30pm tomorrow.
Thanks for your cooperation!
Dave
