Inhomogeneous Cosmologies IV, Torun, 14-19 July 2019
by Boud Roukema 31 Jan '19

31 Jan '19

Inhomogeneous Cosmologies IV, Torun, 14-19 July 2019 During 14-19 July 2019 we are gathering experts in inhomogeneous cosmology for a small workshop of about 30 participants at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, the town where Copernicus was born. We wish to map out the most promising directions for analytical, numerical and observational investigations aimed to take into account both structure formation and cosmological expansion within the constraints of general relativity. Can we clarify the physics present in the relativistic cosmology software now being developed? Are the calculations artificially constrained or are they fully relativistic? Can we achieve accurate postdiction of cosmological observations and follow up by making predictions for the upcoming decade of new major survey projects? We expect vigorous, constructive debate between "one-percenters" and "order-unity" proponents, and practical hands-on sessions of free-licensed inhomogeneous cosmology software packages. Feel free to redistribute this announcement. Check the CosmoTorun19 website or subscribe to the inhom newsletter to know when registration is open.

Inhomogeneous Cosmologies - Torun, 2-7 July 2017 (main announcement)
by Boud Roukema 27 Feb '17

27 Feb '17

Inhomogeneous Cosmologies During 2-7 July 2017 we are gathering experts in inhomogeneous cosmology for a small workshop of about 30 participants at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, the town where Copernicus was born. We wish to map out the most promising directions for analytical, numerical and observational investigations aimed to take into account both structure formation and cosmological expansion within the constraints of general relativity. A key motivating theme will be to discuss the claim, already investigated in numerous peer-reviewed papers, that "dark energy" as inferred from observations is an artefact of assuming an average Friedmannian expansion. New techniques in numerical relativity are beginning to open new perspectives on these questions. We expect talks on the latest developments, vigorous, constructive debate between "one-percenters" and "order-unity" proponents, and practical hands-on tutorials of the Einstein Toolkit and other free-licensed inhomogeneous cosmology software packages. The workshop sessions will start on the morning of Mon 3 July and continue to late afternoon Fri 7 July. Due to the limited number of places available, registration by the early registration deadline of 7 April 2017, including a draft abstract, is strongly recommended. If places remain available, late registration will remain open until the late registration deadline of 9 June 2017 - see http://cosmo.torun.pl/CosmoTorun17 for details. Contact: cosmotorun17 at cosmo.torun.pl Organising committee: Boud Roukema, Eloisa Bentivegna, Krzysztof Bolejko, Thomas Buchert, Mikolaj Korzyński, Hayley MacPherson, Jan Ostrowski, Sebastian Szybka, David Wiltshire Topics will include: * exact cosmological solutions of the Einstein equations * averaging and backreaction in cosmology * numerical cosmological relativity * observational tests Feel free to redistribute this announcement.

astro (sub-cosmo) computing school 16-27.05.2016 @Les Houches, France
by Boud Roukema 10 Jan '16

10 Jan '16

[message from Rolf Walder, Ecole Normale Superieure @Lyon] Dear colleagues I would like to announce an International School of Computational Astrophysics at Les Houches, France, May 16-27 2016. I would also like to distribute this information on your web-pages, bulletins, within your community and, in particular, among your PhD-students and young post-docs. OBJECTIVES OF THE SCHOOL ======================== Contemporary astrophysics is unthinkable without numerical simulations. Applications range from in-depth studies of individual physical processes, like particle acceleration in magnetic reconnection, to scrutinizing the multi-physics nature of an object class, for example the relative role of gravity, hydrodynamics, radiation, chemistry, and magnetic fields for molecular clouds and star formation. This wide physical interest, together with ever advancing compute architectures, entails an equally wide range of numerical and computational techniques. The school aims at promoting this broad, multi-physics, multi-technique perspective. It will survey numerical techniques for different physics, illustrate their combination, address their implementation on high performance compute platforms, and exemplify strengths and limitations of individual and combined approaches. The goal of the school is to broaden the participants' knowledge on multi-physics modeling in astrophysics and to sharpen their awareness of pitfalls when physically interpretation corresponding simulation data. Please find more information at http://comp-phys-2016.sciencesconf.org/ Alternatively you may contact me directly at Rolf.Walder ens-lyon.fr Yours sincerely Rolf Walder

Postdoctoral Positions in Cosmology at KASI The cosmology group at the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI), Daejeon, Korea invite applications for up to 2 postdoctoral fellow positions in theoretical/observational cosmology to work with Dr. Arman Shafieloo. One position is available as early as November 2015 and another position will be available from April 2016. Cosmology group at KASI consist of Drs. Yong-Seon Song (PI), Ki Young Choi, Arman Shafieloo, Eric Linder (as a visiting professor) and currently 5 postdoctoral researchers and a PhD student. The group is consistently growing and is active in various fields of cosmology including observational cosmology, primordial inflation, cosmological perturbation, large scale structure and dark energy. Our group at KASI is a member of major wide-deep field surveys such as DESI (and soon LSST) and have close connections to other KASI survey involvements including KMTnet, JCMT, ALMA and GMT. For one of the positions we are particularly interested to a young and enthusiastic researcher to work on large scale structure data (real data and future data simulations) to test and study different early universe scenarios. For another position, we are interested to an applicant to work on advanced statistical methods of data analysis and their applications in studying various cosmological observations. This could involve working on innovative algorithms to deal with large flow of data from future cosmological surveys (Cosmology Big Data) such as LSST. The positions are initially for two years, with the possibility of a third year depending on the research performance, mutual agreement or funding situation. The starting date of the appointments are negotiable. Interested applicants should submit their CV, a list of publications, and a statement of research interests to icapadmin at kasi.re.kr and CC to Dr. Arman Shafieloo - shafieloo at kasi.re.kr. They should mention in the subject of their email that they are applying for cosmology postdoctoral positions. Applicants should also arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to the same addresses. First position can be filled by November 2015 in case of availability of a suitable applicant and deadline is 30th of June 2015. Those who have strong backgrounds in astrophysics, observational cosmology, theoretical cosmology and/or have expertise in advanced statistical methods of data analysis are encouraged to apply.

This year the conference is organised jointly by the University of Silesia and the Polish Physical Society. The scope of the conference: The heavy boson signal discovery at LHC in 2012 and its properties found to be in agreement with the Standard Model Higgs particle put us in a strange position. On one hand all existing laboratory experiments are in agreement with Standard Model, with the exception of a few ones where a tension at a level of three standard deviations is observed. On the other hand the existence of dark matter, the baryon-anti-baryon asymmetry etc. show that we need a model going beyond the standard one. Yet, there is no guideline coming from laboratory experiments, how to build such a model. To find the right path, a wide effort is needed pushing for new particles discoveries (may be we will see something during the next LHC run), better precision in laboratory tests and closer cross links between particle physics and astrophysics. We will address all these issues during the conference. The discussion is intended to be an important part of the talks. The conference will bring together physicists from a variety of backgrounds, both young scientists at post-doctoral level and senior scientists. The conference is planned to take place in Ustron - a small town located in Beskidy Mountains in the southern part of Poland. Accommodation and lectures will be arranged in the same place providing further opportunities for all participants to have informal discussions during leisure time and strengthening personal contacts. Main Topics: Tests of the Standard Model and its extensions at LHC and other accelerator experiments. New methods and developments in loop calculations and Monte Carlo generators. Neutrino physics and astrophysics. Cosmology and astrophysics and their links with building and testing of the extensions of the Standard Model. Dates: from 13 September 2015 10:00 to 18 September 2015 20:00 Timezone: Europe/Warsaw Location: Ustroń Additional info: http://indico.if.us.edu.pl/event/us2015 ======================================================================

Drifting through the Cosmic Web, 6-11.VII.2015 @Aix-en-Provence, France
by Boud Roukema 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

The goal of this conference is to gather theorists, simulators and observers to brainstorm over the structure of the cosmic web and its influence on galaxy properties. In particular we wish to address the following points: -our theoretical understanding of the cosmic web, its dynamics and evolution (3D structure of the dark matter field, impact of the nature of dark matter on structure formation, mechanism of acquisition of angular momentum of collapsed structures, the dynamics and persistence of cold streams); - the characterization of the components of the cosmic web, i.e. nodes, filaments, walls and voids: what are the different techniques to extract them from simulations and observations? - Numerical predictions and observational signatures of the influence of the cosmic web on galaxy properties (cold streams, cosmic gas accretion as regulator of star-formation and galaxy growth, CGM physics, feedback, metal enrichment); - Challenges: 3D spectroscopy, HI surveys, reconstruction of density fields from galaxy surveys, zoom-in techniques in simulation. Questions and comments should be sent to: aix2015 lam.fr Web site available here : http://aix2015.lam.fr/
