Galaxy/large-scale-structure formation course

0800-WZAT or WZAT3

title TBD

  • en: Large-scale structure formation in the Universe / pl: Powstawanie wielkoskalowej struktury we Wszechświecie

when/where

  • TODO: negotiate days/times with the students
    • For a course with a numerical component, we need the IA seminar room + Room 48 for the numerical practical sessions.

official description for usosweb

  • licence for this original version: CC0; the official version is a derivation of the original source here
  • en: galaxy formation
    • A brief overview of galaxy/large-scale structure formation within a simplified cosmological context will be presented. This course is strongly computational. Topics include: post-CMB power spectrum of Gaussian random fluctuations; 3-torus N-body simulations for non-linear structure formation; dark matter halo detection in N-body simulations; halo/galaxy merger history trees; galaxy formation recipes. Students will be expected to compile and run the corresponding five free-and-open-software (FOSS) programs: Mpgrafic, Ramses, Rockstar, Ctrees/Convertctrees, Sage.
  • pl: powstawania galaktyk
    • Przedstawiony zostanie krótki przegląd powstawania galaktyk w uproszczonym kontekście kosmologicznym. Tematy obejmują: post-CMB widmo-moc Gaussowych losowe fluktuacje; simulacji N-ciała 3-torusowych dla nielinearnej formacji struktury; wykrywanie halo ciemnej materii w symulacjach N-ciała; merger history trees halo/galaktyk; przepisy formacji galaktyki. Oczekuje się, że studenci skompilują i uruchomią odpowiednie pięć programów pod licencji wolnego i otwarte oprogramowania (FOSS): Mpgrafic, Ramses, Rockstar, Ctrees/Convertctrees, Sage.

extra material

Since students at this level will not have studied SR/GR/cosmology, the linear and mildly non-linear regimes of structure formation will not be covered in this mini-course.
