"The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope — WST" I will present the WST project, conceived as a state-of-the-art spectroscopic facility intended to provide a critital capability currently absent from the global astronomical infrastructur. WST is envisioned to play a foundational role in...
"Tracing the origin of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes in the gravitational-wave era" In the last decade, gravitational-wave observations have provided crucial insights into the populations of binary compact objects, helping to address key open questions about their mass spectrum and formation...
"Low surface brightness galaxies in the era of deep large-sky surveys and artificial intelligence" Low surface-brightness (LSB) galaxies, which are typically fainter than the night sky, contribute to the majority of the total number density of galaxies in the universe. Therefore, they are a...
"Implicit Likelihood Cosmological Inference: Simulations & Diagnostics" Ongoing cosmological surveys map the large-scale structure of the Universe across immense volumes. Extracting robust cosmological information from these data requires fast, high-precision simulations of the survey...
"Dark matter and the MOND phenomenology in galaxies." We discuss the phenomenology of dark matter at galactic scales and the intriguing MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics) formula for the rotation curves of galaxies, the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation (BTFR) and the radial acceleration relation...
"Faint but not forgotten: what simulations reveal about Low Surface Brightness Galaxies" Low Surface Brightness Galaxies (LSBGs) constitute a substantial fraction of galaxies in the local Universe, being primarily bulge-less, late-type galaxies, bluer and more gas-rich than their high surface...
"Vz-GAL: Probing Cold Molecular Gas in Dusty Star-forming Galaxies at z=1-6." Reconstructing the physical mechanisms that have shaped present-day galaxies remains a primary goal in observational cosmology. I will introduce the Vz-GAL VLA CO(1–0) Survey, a comprehensive endeavor targeting...
"Formation of Fornax dwarf spheroidal and the survival of its globular clusters " The presence of globular clusters (GCs) in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal is an important test of the theories aiming to address the missing mass problem. The problem is that in most of them, the GCs are expected to...
"NOEMA3D: Inflowing Gas at Subgalactic Scales in Massive Star Forming Galaxies at z~1-2" How is gas transported within galaxies at cosmic noon? What is the role of bars and spiral arms in the build-up of galactic structures? To try to answer these questions I will present NOEMA3D, an ongoing...
