Luminous high-z quasars provide direct probes of the buildup of supermassive black holes, the primeval massive galaxies hosting them, and the intergalactic medium during the epoch of reionization. Despite its extraordinary capabilities, a significant challenge remains: the lack of quasar samples at redshift larger than 7. The Euclid space telescope offers a promising avenue to enrich our quasar...
In this area of rapid development of AI, astronomers' work is also evolving. What should we focus in training our students and our computers? In this talk I will present some of my thoughts on the subject and hope the audience will share in the discussion.BIOCharling Tao is an Emerita Director of Research in CNRS CPPM (Centre de Physique de Particules de Marseille) where she co-created the cosm...
Galaxy quenching is a crucial phase of galaxy evolution. For years the over-quenching problem has posed a big challenge to galaxy evolution models at low redshift. In this talk, I will introduce how we improve the semi-analytic model GAEA step-by-step to reproduce the observed quenched fractions, and the lessons we learned. Then we apply this model to high redshift to understand the galaxy quen...
天文及深空科学是主要由实测驱动的学科。观测设备的实测精度和能力的显著提高会大大促进人类对宇宙的认知,包括21世纪所面临的几个重大挑战包括暗物质、暗能量研究,高红移宇宙,以及外行星和生命起源。这些重大科学问题的攻克、前沿研究的突破性进展,已经越来越依赖于观测设备能力的不断提升,包括提高观测的灵敏度、谱分辨率、时间分辨率、角分辨率以及拓展波段覆盖区域。这些观测设备就需要功能强大性能卓越的焦面仪器系统...
