Rudnick, G., Jablonka, P., Moustakas, J., Aragón-Salamanca, A., Zaritsky, D., Jaffe, Y. L., De Lucia, G., Desai, V., Halliday, C., Just, D., Milvang-Jensen, B., & Poggianti, B. (2017). Determining the halo mass scale where galaxies lose their gas. Astrophysical Journal, 850(2), Article 181. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/aa866c

A major question in galaxy formation is how the gas supply that fuels activity in galaxies is modulated by their environment. We use spectroscopy of a set of well characterized clusters and groups at $0.4<z<0.8$ from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (E...

When deriving a master equation for a multipartite weakly-interacting open quantum systems, dissipation is often addressed locally on each component, i.e. ignoring the coherent couplings, which are later added ‘by hand’. Although simple, the resultin... Read More about Testing the validity of the ‘local’ and ‘global’ GKLS master equations on an exactly solvable model.
