The simulation database of THE THREE HUNDRED Project has been used to pick synthetic clusters of galaxies with properties close to the observational targets of the NIKA2 camera Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) Large Program. Cross-matching of cluster…
We use the Millennium Simulation, a 10 billion particle simulation of the growth of cosmic structure, to construct a new model of galaxy clustering. We adopt a methodology that falls midway between the traditional semi-analytic approach and…

The possibility of determining the value of the Hubble constant using observations of galaxy clusters in X-ray and microwave wavelengths through the Sunyaev Zel\'dovich (SZ) effect has long been known. Previous measurements have been…
By means of identical cubic elements, we generate a partition of a volume in which a particle-based cosmological simulation is carried out. In each cubic element, we determine the gas particles with a normalized density greater than an…
Dynamical evolution drives globular clusters toward core collapse, which strongly shapes their internal properties. Diagnostics of core collapse have so far been based on photometry only, namely on the study of the concentration of the…

Motivated by the idea of using simple macroscopic examples to illustrate the physics of complex systems, we modify a historic experimental setup in which interacting floating magnets spontaneously self-assemble into ordered clusters. By…
The two dimensional structure of hot gas in galaxy clusters contains information about the hydrodynamical state of the cluster, which can be used to understand the origin of scatter in the thermodynamical properties of the gas, and to…
The morphology of a disk galaxy is closely linked to its kinematic state. This is because density wave features are likely made of spontaneously-formed modes which are allowed to arise in the galactic resonant cavity of a particular basic…
