We discuss simulations of gas at high redshift. We briefly review the methods used and the results for quasar absorption lines. We present gas mass functions and galaxy correlation functions for 5 different cosmological models. Galaxies…
The review deals with the physics of cold atomic gases in the presence of disorder. The emphasis is on the theoretical developments, although several experiments are also briefly discussed. The review is intended to be pedagogical,…
We review recent developments in the physics of ultracold atomic and molecular gases in optical lattices. Such systems are nearly perfect realisations of various kinds of Hubbard models, and as such may very well serve to mimic condensed…
Over the last decade, observations of the cool interstellar medium in distant galaxies via molecular and atomic fine structure line emission has gone from a curious look into a few extreme, rare objects, to a mainstream tool to study galaxy…
In the last years, the ability of cold atoms experiments to explore condensed- matter related questions has dramatically progressed. Transport experiments, in particular, have expanded to the point that conductances and other transport…
The latest observations of molecular gas and the atomic hydrogen content of local and high-redshift galaxies, coupled with how these correlate with star formation activity, have revolutionized our ideas about how to model star formation in…
Recent years have witnessed a substantial increase in our ability to trace the spatially resolved properties of rapidly star-forming galaxies in the high-redshift universe and numerous studies have suggested the importance of turbulent…
The Cold Dark Matter model describes successfully our Universe on large scales, as has been verified by a wide range of observations. Nevertheless, in the last years, and especially with the advances in numerical simulations, a number of…
We review experimental and theoretical work on cold, trapped metastable noble gases. We em- phasize the aspects which distinguish work with these atoms from the large body of work on cold, trapped atoms in general. These aspects include…
We briefly review the beginnings of HI astronomy, proceed to an assessment of our current capabilities in this area, and continue by considering what will be necessary to push back the frontier to cosmological distances. We then consider…
The results and the present limits of the observations of high-z ellipticals are discussed in the framework of VLT imminent and future instruments.
(Abridged) Accurately predicting how the cosmic abundance of neutral hydrogen evolves with redshift is a challenging problem facing modellers of galaxy formation. We investigate the predictions of four currently favoured semi-analytical…
We compare properties of high-redshift galaxies observed by JWST with hydrodynamical simulations, in the standard cold dark matter model and in warm dark matter models with a suppressed linear matter power spectrum. We find that current…
I present an overview of new observations of atomic and molecular gas in early-type galaxies, focusing on the Atlas3D project. Our data on stellar kinematics, age and metallicity, and ionized gas kinematics allow us to place the cold gas…
This paper presents the results of simulated NGST observations. The goal of this work is to study the detectability of very high redshift galaxies and to try to characterize Wide Deep-Field observations. The main points made in this paper…
We describe an educational simulation of some effects within the gas of hard spheres. The focus of the presented simulation is on the comprehension of random character of the velocity of molecules in the gas and of the energy at fixed…
This work presents a comparative study of the best models available to describe granular fluids in order to investigate the extent to which it makes sense to speak about a liquid-gas transition in a system of particles that present no…
Recent years have seen major advances in understanding the state of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at high redshift. Some aspects of this understanding are reviewed here. In particular, we discuss: (1) Different probes of IGM like…
The thermal history of cosmic gas in the Dark Ages remains largely unknown. It is important to quantify the impact of relevant physics on the IGM temperature between $z=10$ and $z \sim 30$, in order to interpret recent and oncoming…
Neutral hydrogen traces gravitational potentials. In the nearby universe, 21cm emission-line surveys show that the bulk of the HI resides in well-formed, optically-luminous galaxies. At high redshift, 21cm line absorption against background…
