Emission Line Galaxies with MOS: from cosmic noon to the reionization era
Galaxies showing strong emission lines are precious laboratories to study the physical mechanisms driving and regulating star formation through cosmic time. With the advent of the last generation of optical and near-infrared Multi Object and Integral Field Spectrographs (MOS, IFS), we have entered in a new golden era for emission line studies.
Past Events
The disc migration issue: from protoplanets to supermassive black holes
This workshop is motivated by the broad similarities surrounding the theory of disc mediated migration on scales ranging from protoplanetary discs to galactic nuclei. Migration theory thus underpins our understanding of some of the most topical problems in contemporary astrophysics, i.e. the establishment of planetary system `architecture' and the processes driving the merging of black holes.
Galaxy clusters: physics laboratories and cosmological probes
Galaxy clusters are unique astrophysical laboratories in which the powerful interaction of supermassive black holes with the surrounding intracluster medium, the complex effects of the cluster environment on galaxies, as well as a wide range of non-thermal processes like magnetic field amplification and cosmic ray acceleration can be studied.
1st KICC Workshop: Modelling Galaxies Through Cosmic Times
The first Kavli Institute for Cosmology Workshop was opened on 14 September 2015 by Prof. Martin Rees of the Institute of Astronomy. Rationale of the workshop, programme and information can be found on the Workshop Website.
GPE@60: From Galaxies to Large Scale Structure and the CMB
Cosmology@KICC
The Kavli Institute for Cosmology hosted an outreach event aimed at sixth form students (those studying for their A-levels) to come and meet experts within the field of cosmology.
Lasenby Symposium
KICC hosted a half-day symposium in celebration of the 60th birthday of Anthony Lasenby. . Five talks by Anthony's colleagues surveyed some of Anthony's main research interests: cosmic microwave background, the Galactic centre, physical applications of geometric algebra, and gravitational physics.
