Modeling Stellar Collapse and Explosion: Evolving Progenitor Stars to Supernova Remnants (COCO2CASA)

Date du début: 1 févr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2019,

"This project intends to make groundbreaking progress towards the solution of one of the most pestering and long-standing riddles of stellar astrophysics, namely the question how massive stars explode as supernovae (SNe).State-of-the-art simulations in two dimensions (2D) now yield neutrino-powered (through underenergetic) explosions for a growing variety of progenitors and thus support the delaye ...

Probing General Relativity with Stellar Orbits (PROGRESO)

Date du début: 1 avr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 mars 2018,

"Of the four fundamental forces in nature, gravity is the least tested one. A uniquely accessible laboratory for gravitational physics is the Galactic Center, hosting the closest massive black hole with 4 million solar masses. Its vicinity and the advent of high-resolution, near-infrared techniques allowed for the observation of ≈ 30 individual stellar orbits in its gravitational field. The stars ...

The calm before the storm: Pre-stellar cores as Astrophysical Laboratories (PALs)

Date du début: 1 mars 2013, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2018,

"Stars like our Sun and planets like our Earth form in dense regions within interstellar molecular clouds, called pre-stellar cores (PSCs). PSCs provide the initial conditions in the process of star and planet formation, but large uncertainties exist concerning basic astrophysical processes and parameters, such as surface chemistry, the cosmic-ray ionization rate, the H2 ortho-to-para ratio, the ...

Probing Fundamental Physics with the Large-Scale Structure of the Universe (FundPhysicsAndLSS)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2017,

"Over the past decade, cosmology, the study of the origin and evolution of the Universe and structure within it, has evolved into a precision science. While we have learned much about the evolution and history of the Universe, many of the most pressing questions remain unanswered, such as: Why is the Universe accelerating ? What is dark matter ? Does General Relativity correctly describe the Unive ...

Exploring the Cosmological Origins of the Cosmic near Infrared Background Fluctuations (CIBorigins)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2014, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2016,

The emergence of the first stars and black holes in the early Universe ranks highly on Europe's list of research priorities and is driving the construction of powerful telescopes. While the first light objects will remain largely inaccessible to individual detections with future telescopes, they may be detectable via their recognizable contribution to the Cosmic near Infrared Background (CIB) fluc ...

Interdisciplinary research: Connecting complex plasmas with colloidal dispersions (INTERCOCOS)

Date du début: 1 juin 2011, Date de fin: 31 mai 2016,

"This proposal represents the first concerted effort to study classical strongly coupled systems at the most fundamental individual-particle level, by using complementary approaches from different physics domains - complex plasmas and colloidal dispersions. These are complementary in many ways, the most important being that complex plasmas are virtually undamped at the particle timescales, whereas ...

Investigation of Cooperative Phenomena on the Atomistic Level (ICPAL)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 24 mai 2016,

"Cooperative phenomena are ubiquitous in science. They occur when a sufficient number of particles interact and lead to phenomena that can only be explained by taking into account the whole ensemble. It is a fundamental, but still open, question how these cooperative phenomena begin and how the transition from single particle movement to hydrodynamics takes place. This question becomes increasingl ...

Latin Amercian Chinese European Galaxy Formation Network (LACEGAL)

Date du début: 15 mai 2011, Date de fin: 14 mai 2015,

The focus in cosmology is shifting from the determination of the basic cosmological parameters to developing an understanding of how galaxies formed. Progress in this field has been driven by a combination of computer simulation and observational breakthroughs. Over the next few years, groundbreaking new facilities will come online and will provide data of unprecedented quality with which to test ...

Multi-wavelength study of accretion onto black holes and its evolution during cosmic times (High-z & Multi-λ)

Date du début: 1 mars 2013, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2015,

The beginning of this century can be considered a golden age for X-ray astronomy, with the launch of XMM-Newton, Chandra and Suzaku, three cornerstones of the ESA, NASA and JAXA space programs. These observatories, although more than 10yr old, still deliver excellent science and X-ray astronomy now leads many fields of astronomical investigation. However, only small-medium class X-ray missions are ...

Pan-European training in computational cosmology: modelling cosmic structures (CosmoComp)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2009, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2013,

European scientists lead the world in the modelling of the formation of cosmic structures using computer simulations. The objective of the CosmoComp proposal is to reinforce Europe's world standing in this field by training the next generation of computational cosmologists. CosmoComp builds on and extends existing research collaborations between major European centres, and has a global element wit ...

The birth of the first stars and galaxies (Galaxies Birth)

Date du début: 1 avr. 2010, Date de fin: 31 mars 2013,

The aim of this proposal is to simulate the formation and evolution of galaxies within the first billion years of the Universe by using unprecedented high-resolution simulations. The hydrodynamical, cosmological simulations are designed to evolve the Universe, focusing on the sites of star and galaxy formation. They include all the relevant physics: radiative cooling and formation of molecular hyd ...

Rocky Planets Around Cool Stars (RoPACS)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2008, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2012,

The search for life bearing planets elsewhere is one of the major themes in contemporary astronomy, and much science investment is committed or being directed to seek and study extra-solar planets, with projects like Corot, Kepler, JWST, and Darwin. Previous search efforts focus on finding earth-like planets around Sun-like stars, however, cool stars are by far the most populous potential planet h ...

Multifrequency Tomography of the Reionization Epoch (TomographyEoR)

Date du début: 22 juin 2009, Date de fin: 21 juin 2011,

We propose to use the CO emission lines and the signature that metals and ions leave on the CMB during reionization as a complementary window to H21 cm observations of that cosmological epoch. Since all those effects are associated to a given resonant frequency, different observing frequencies probe different redshits, and a tomographic study of reionization can be performed. Furthermore, these si ...
