Saludos Sandro Information of the Padova node name: Alessandro surname: Bressan alias: AB node: Padova email: bressan@pd.astro.it keywords: Star formation, galaxies, galaxy evolution, stellar evolution, stellar populations, cosmology, AGN, numerical simulations. collaborators: Coordinator: Alessandro Bressan (bressan@pd.astro.it) ------------- PADOVA -------------- SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC EVOLUTION OF GALAXIES Alessandro Bressan (bressan@pd.astro.it) Gian Luigi Granato (granato@pd.astro.it) and collaborators (OSS TS ? ) Chemical evolution of galaxies Stellar populations (integrated properties and HR diagrams) Multi-wavelength spectrophotometric evolution of galaxies: a) X-ray - prediction from massive binary evolution b) UV - high res. spectral models (coll. with INAOE, M. Chavez) - dust absorption (see below) c) Optical - high res. spectral models (coll. with INAOE, M. Chavez and Terlevich) - line emission from HII regions (in collaboration with SISSA, Ts, P. Panuzzo) - dust absorption (see below) d) NIR - absorption features (CaT ...) - line emission from HII regions e) MIR - dust enshrouded AGB stars (E-Type galaxies with young comp.) - emission form hot dust in Star forming galaxies (small grains, PAH) - emission from AGN tori - line emission from HII regions f) FIR - dust emission from Molecular Clouds and cirrus - AGN models - line emission from HII regions - emission from PDR (in progress, O. Vega) g) (Sub-millimetric & millimetric) - dust emission - molecular emission (coll. with INAOE, Mex, O. Vega) e) Radio - thermal emission from HII regions - non-thermal emission from star forming galaxies SEMI-ANALYTIC MODELS OF GALAXY FORMATION Gian Luigi Granato (granato@pd.astro.it) Gianfranco De Zotti (dezotti@pd.astro.it) and collabortors Luminosity function of high-z galaxies Evolution of ISO-IRAS sources Combined early evolution of E-type galaxies and QSO SPH NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS AND SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC EVOLUTION OF GALAXY MERGERS Paola Mazzei (mazzei@pd.astro.it) and collaborators SUPERNOVAE Turatto Massimo (and the Padova-Asiago SN group) (turatto@pd.astro.it) Thermonuclear explosions (SNIa, low mass progenitors) and Core-Collapse SN (SNIb/c, SNII, massive progenitors). Determination of the CCSNe frequency at different redshifts. Interactions of SN ejecta with dense circumstellar medium (SNIIn) Underenergetic explosions, possibly arising from massive stars forming during the explosion a BH because of fallback of material. THE FORMATION OF GLOBULAR CLUSTERS Raffaele Gratton and collaborators (gratton@pd.astro.it) Links with violent early formation of our Bulge ? ------------- BOLOGNA -------------- STAR FORMATION HISTORY OF RESOLVED STELLAR POPULATIONS Monica Tosi and collaborators (OA Bologna) (TOSI@astbo3.bo.astro.it) Analysis of colour-magnitude diagrams obtained with HST and VLT by means of the technique of synthetic HR diagrams (based on chemodynamical models). 2D AND 3D HYDRODYNAMICAL SIMULATIONS OF ISM EVOLUTION IN DWARF GALAXIES D'Ercole and collaborators (OA Bologna) (annibale@astbo3.bo.astro.it) 3D simulations of galactic winds in disky dwarf galaxies moving through the IGM. -Secular evolution of the metals ejected by the SNII. -Effects of IGM in the evolution of the ejected gas. -Effects of thermal conduction in 3D simulations. ------------- TRIESTE -------------- CHEMICAL AND DYNAMICAL EVOLUTION OF GALAXIES Francesca Matteucci and collaborators (UNiversity of Trieste) (matteucci@ts.astro.it) Chemical and dynamical evolution of galaxies. -Detailed analysis of the abundance patterns in galaxies and in the IGM/ICM. Multiphase chemo-dynamical models of E-type galaxies: - SF feedback and galactic winds. - Pattern of metal enrichment (stars, IGM, ICM) up to elements at the Fe-peak (Ni, Co, Mn) and beyond (s- and r-process elements such as Ba and Eu, respectively). - Detailed chemical evolution model of our Galaxy following the time and space evolution of the abundances of 25 chemical species both in the halo and disk. - Application of chemical models (in particular [alpha /Zn,Fe] versus [Fe,Zn/H] as well as as [alpha/Fe, Zn]) to the high redshift galaxies such as DLAs, Lyman-break and SCUBA galaxies. ------------------------------------------ Brief description of Padova node. Padova hosts the Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova and Asiago (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica, INAF) and the Department of Astronomy of the Padova University. They can open PhD training positions and Postdoc fellows. There is a tight connection with the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA, Trieste) where some of us (A. Bressan, G. De Zotti and G.L. Granato) have regular PhD lectures in Astrophysics. Brief description of Bologna sub-node The two astronomical Institutions in Bologna (Department of Astronomy and Bologna Observatory-INAF) can open training positions (fellowships and PhD) for foreign students provided funds are available. Students participating to the above projects will have access to several workstations and to the facilities of the Cineca Supercomputer Center. The students will be supervised by the proposers of the present projects. Also some students of ours are available to spend some time in foreign Institutions. Brief description of Trieste node. The Department of Physics of the Trieste University can open PhD training positions and Postdoc fellows. There is a tight connection with the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA, Trieste) where F. Matteucci has regular PhD lectures in Astrophysics. There is also a tight connection with people from the Osservatorio Astronomico di Trieste (INAF).
