SEMINAR ANNOUNCEMENT & REMINDER- OAT and DAUT SEMINAR - Today, Monday December 11, at 12:00 noon (Villa Bazzoni)

[Gabriella Schiulaz]

I announce you today's OAT-DAUT Seminar:

                   OATS - DAUT SEMINAR

Speaker: Tommaso Treu (Univ. of California, Santa Barbara) 

Title: Dark matter and black holes over cosmic time

Date: Monday, December 11th, 2006 
Time: 12:00 noon 
Venue: Villa Bazzoni (via R. Bazzoni, 2)

*********************************************************** 
Abstract: 
Dark matter and black holes are essential ingredients to understand the formation and evolution of early-type galaxies. Dark halos dominate their gravitational potential, while accretion onto the central supermassive black hole may provide energy feedback to regulate star formation. Tight empirical scaling relations such as the Fundamental Plane and the MBH-sigma relation suggest an interplay between dark matter, stars and black holes. I will present some observational results on the evolution of dark matter, stars and black holes over cosmic time and their implication in terms of early-type galaxies formation.

OATS-DAUT SEMINAR 
*********************************************************** 
Speaker: Roberto Maiolino (INAF/Oss. Astr. Roma) 

Title: Metals and dust in the early universe 

Date: Wednesday, December 13th, 2006 
Time: 12:00 noon 
Venue: Villa Bazzoni 

Abstract: 
The metallicity of galaxies is a powerful tracer of their integrated star formation history. Thanks to recent, extensive spectroscopic surveys of high redshift galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGNs), it is now possible to investigate the metallicity evolution of these objects through the cosmic ages. I will review some of the recent work in this field, and I will discuss the implications within the context of galaxy evolution. Star forming galaxies show a significant metallicity evolution in the redshift range 0

OATS-DAUT SEMINAR 
*********************************************************** 
Speaker: Roberto Battiston (INFN, Perugia) 

Title: Cosmic-ray Astrophysics with AMS-02 

Date: Wednesday, February 7th, 2007 
Time: 12:00 noon 
Venue: Villa Bazzoni 

Abstract: 
Precise knowledge of the hadronic component of cosmic rays is needed to describe the cosmic ray production, acceleration and propagation mechanisms in our galaxy. Present measurements suffer from limitations coming from short exposure time, intrinsic instrumental limitations and restricted energy range. The AMS-02 experiment is a large acceptance magnetic spectrometer to perform high statistics studies of cosmic rays in space. The detector will operate on the International Space Station for more than 3 years. AMS-02 will precisely measure the cosmic ray fluxes of individual elements up to Z~25 in the rigidity range from ~1GV to ~1TV. AMS-02 will allow to test propagation models through the precise measurements of secondary-to-primary ratios as D/p, 3He/4He in the energy range few hundreds MeV to tens of GeV, and B/C, sub-Fe/Fe up to ~1TV. In particular the original measurements of 10Be/9Be will be performed with high accuracy allowing the understanding of the age of the cosmic-ray confinement and constraint models of the size of the galactic halo. Among the goal of the precision measurement of Cosmic Rays flux and composition by AMS-02 is the measurement for rare components like positrons, and antiprotons, or component never observed before like antideuterons and antinuclei. These measurements could allow to understand cosmic misteries like the origin of dark matter or the existence of nuclear antimatter.
