SPICA Galaxy Evolution Working Group Virtual meeting 5-7 October 2020

Please Register here

In this virtual meeting we will focus especially on the Yellow Book preparation. In particular we need to revise the allocated sections in the v0.39 PDF distributed last July. The structure will be made of a shorter introduction (max 3 pages), fewer figures, followed by the list of the sections:
2.1.1  Tracking the drivers for galaxy evolution over cosmic time —introduction and figures
2.1.2  Gaining the full 3D perspective on Star Formation and Black Hole accretion
2.1.3  Establishing the role of obscured BH-growth in the evolution of galaxies
2.1.4  Characterising the feedback mechanisms that quench Star Formation
2.1.5  Tracing the build-up of Heavy Elements over the last 10 Gyr
2.1.6  Following dust evolution from reionization to the present-day Universe
- The first day will be dedicated to the presentation of the various sections of the WB: 10 min. presentation, followed by 20 min. discussion. Later in the afternoon we will have a discussion on the best figures to be implemented.
- The second day will be dedicated to splinters on each topic, where the various groups will actually work together on the text.
- The third day the reports from each splinter will be given and discussed.
- The last afternoon we have a special session dedicated to the updates on the white papers in preparation.
The meeting will occupy the mornings (9:00-11:30am CEST) and the afternoons (4:00-6:30pm CEST) from Monday 5th to Wednesday 7th.

8:30 meet with a zoom connection TBD

8:45 – 9:00: Welcome and introduction to the Yellow Book – Peter Roelfsema

9:00 – 9:30: Introduction to the Galaxy Evolution SPICA science cases – David

9:30 – 9:40: The draft GalEvol YB chapter: how it has been structured, what are the “bullets” – [Lee (tbc)/David/Juan/Luigi]

[Note: each topic will have: 10 min. intro. + key questions and key figures - identify actions on what needs to be implemented]

The hidden physics driving the evolution of galaxies:

day 1 – 3D view of galaxy evolution & Dark Matter halo – Magnetic Fields

9:40 – 10:30: What is the role of environment and clustering in shaping galaxy evolution? What is the role of obscured star-formation in building the most massive galaxy clusters that we observe today? [Giulia]
