A close look to nascent galaxies

for Astronomers, for Public, InHomepage, Outreach, Science

An international team of astronomers, led by R. Amorin and ohter ASTRODEEP scientists,  has pushed large telescopes to their current limits to discover a population of tiny newborn galaxies more than 11 billion light-years away, which shed new light into the first...

What is Astrodeep?

InHomepage, Projects

This project focuses on extra-galactic survey deep fields, i.e. those public observing programs motivated by the desire to understand the formation and evolution of galaxies and super-massive black holes from the very earliest times, and to answer fundamental...

Euclid Spectroscopic Simulations

Data, InHomepage, Senza categoria, Simulations

We present a set of simulations for the spectroscopic component of the Euclid Deep Survey. The spectroscopic channel is a part of the NISP instrument and is comprised of four near infrared grisms, three ‘red’ (1.25 um – 1.85 um) and one...

The ASTRODEEP Frontier Fields Catalogues

Data, Data Release, InHomepage

We present the public release of the first complete catalogues of Frontier Fields Abell-2744 and MACSJ-0416 cluster and parallel pointings.   The catalogues include multi-band photometry (8 HST bands, deep Ks from the HAWK-I FF program, and Spitzer-IRAC 3.6 and...

EGG – A galaxy simulations software from UV to far-IR

InHomepage, Software

  We describe a new ASTRODEEP software, named EGG, the Empirical Galaxy Generator. It is a tool designed to generate arbitrarily large mock galaxy catalogs with realistic fluxes and morphologies. Entire surveys of several deg^2 and milions of galaxies can be...

The evolution of cosmic star formation in the SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey

InHomepage, Science

A new ASTRODEEP science paper by Bourne, N. et al, 2016, We present a new exploration of the cosmic star-formation history and dust obscuration in massive galaxies at redshifts 0.5<z<6. We utilize the deepest 450 and 850μm imaging from SCUBA-2 CLS, covering 230...
