    Globular Clusters and Galactic Nuclei

    Scuola di Dottorato “Vito Volterra” Dottorato di Ricerca in Astronomia– XXIV ciclo Globular Clusters and Galactic Nuclei Thesis submitted to obtain the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (“Dottore di Ricerca”) in Astronomy by Alessandra Mastrobuono Battisti Program Coordinator Thesis Advisor Prof. Roberto Capuzzo Dolcetta Prof. Roberto Capuzzo Dolcetta Anno Accademico 2010-2011 ii Abstract Dynamical evolution plays a key role in shaping the current properties of star clus- ters and star cluster systems. We present the study of stellar dynamics both from a theoretical and numerical point of view. In particular we investigate this topic on different astrophysical scales, from the study of the orbital evolution and the mutual interaction of GCs in the Galactic central region to the evolution of GCs in the larger scale galactic potential. Globular Clusters (GCs), very old and massive star clusters, are ideal objects to explore many aspects of stellar dynamics and to investigate the dynamical and evolutionary mechanisms of their host galaxy. Almost every surveyed galaxy of sufficiently large mass has an associated group of GCs, i.e. a Globular Cluster System (GCS). The first part of this Thesis is devoted to the study of the evolution of GCSs in elliptical galaxies. Basing on the hypothesis that the GCS and stellar halo in a galaxy were born at the same time and, so, with the same density distribution, a logical consequence is that the presently observed difference may be due to evolution of the GCS. Actually, in this scenario, GCSs evolve due to various mechanisms, among which dynamical friction and tidal interaction with the galactic field are the most important.
  • Wide-Survey of the QUIJOTE CMB Experiment Presented By: Federica Guidi (IAC, ULL), on Behalf of the QUIJOTE Collaboration

    Wide-Survey of the QUIJOTE CMB Experiment Presented By: Federica Guidi (IAC, ULL), on Behalf of the QUIJOTE Collaboration

    Wide-survey of the QUIJOTE CMB experiment Presented by: Federica Guidi (IAC, ULL), on behalf of the QUIJOTE collaboration. I present the status and the recent results of the QUIJOTE (Q-U-I JOint TEnerife) experiment. QUIJOTE is a project that operates from the Teide Observatory, with the aim to characterize the emission of the galactic foregrounds at microwave wavelengths, and to study the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background, targeting the detection of the primordial gravitational waves, the so called ”B-modes”, down to a value of the tensor to scalar ratio of r = 0.05. Recently, one of the two instruments of QUIJOTE, the Multi Frequency Instrument (MFI), concluded a wide-survey campaign, during which we observed the full northern sky, at 11, 13, 17 and 19 GHz. The wide survey maps of QUIJOTE will be delivered soon to the community. Here I present the current status of the maps, and I summarize few scientific results related to them, with special emphasis on the low frequency Galactic foregrounds, such as the Synchrotron and the Anomalous Microwave Emission. XIV.0 Reunión Científica 13-15 julio 2020 Context of the research: QUIJOTE: a polarimetric CMB experiment for the characterization of the low frequency galactic foregrounds ● CMB polarization experiments are searching for the polarization pattern imprinted by primordial gravitational waves: the “B-modes”. ● QUIJOTE is a polarimetric CMB experiment installed at the Teide observatory since 2012. ● QUIJOTE extends the Planck and WMAP coverage to low frequency, with two instruments: ○ Multi Frequency Instrument (MFI): 11, 13, 17, 19 GHz; ○ Thirty and Forty GHz Instrument (TFGI): Q Q Q Q J J 30-40 GHz.

    China's First Step Towards Probing the Expanding Universe and the Nature of Gravity Using a Space Borne Gravitational Wave

    PERSPECTIVE https://doi.org/10.1038/s42005-021-00529-z OPEN China’s first step towards probing the expanding universe and the nature of gravity using a space borne gravitational wave antenna The Taiji Scientific Collaboration* In this perspective, we outline that a space borne gravitational wave detector network combining LISA and Taiji can be used to measure the Hubble constant with an uncertainty less than 0.5% in ten years, compared with the network of the ground based gravitational wave detectors which can measure the Hubble constant within a 2% uncertainty in the next five years by the standard siren method. Taiji is a Chinese space borne gravitational wave 1234567890():,; detection mission planned for launch in the early 2030 s. The pilot satellite mission Taiji-1 has been launched in August 2019 to verify the feasibility of Taiji. The results of a few tech- nologies tested on Taiji-1 are presented in this paper. he observation of gravitational waves (GWs) enables us to explore the Universe in more Tdetails than that is currently known. By testing the theory of general relativity, it can unveil the nature of gravity. In particular, a GW can be used to determine the Hubble constant by a standard siren method1,2. This method3 was first used by the Advanced LIGO4 and Virgo5 observatories when they discovered GW event GW1708176. Despite the degeneracy problem in the ground-based GW detectors, the Hubble constant can reach a precision of 2% after a 5-year observation with the network of the current surface GW detectors6, although LIGO’s O3 data have shown that the chance to detect electromagnetic (EM) counterpart might be a little optimistic7.

    Alternative LISA-TAIJI networks: detectability to isotropic stochastic gravitational wave background Gang Wang1, ∗ and Wen-Biao Han1, 2, 3, † 1Shanghai Astronomical Observatory, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai 200030, China 2Hangzhou Institute for Advanced Study, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hangzhou 310124, China 3School of Astronomy and Space Science, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China (Dated: August 26, 2021) In previous work [1], three TAIJI orbital deployments have been proposed to compose alternative LISA-TAIJI networks, TAIJIm (leading the Earth by 20◦ and −60◦ inclined with respect to ecliptic plane), TAIJIp (leading the Earth by 20◦ and +60◦ inclined), TAIJIc (colocated and coplanar with LISA) with respect to LISA mission (trailing the Earth by 20◦ and +60◦ inclined). And the LISA-TAIJIm network has been identified as the most capable configuration for massive black hole binary observation. In this work, we examine the performance of three networks to the stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) especially for the comparison of two eligible configurations, LISA-TAIJIm and LISA-TAIJIp. This investigation shows that the detectability of LISA-TAIJIm is competitive with the LISA-TAIJIp network for some specific SGWB spectral shapes. And the capability of LISA-TAIJIm is also identical to LISA-TAIJIp to separate the SGWB components by determining the parameters of signals. Considering the performances on SGWB and massive black hole binaries observations, the TAIJIm could be recognized as an optimal option to fulfill joint observations with LISA. I. INTRODUCTION In previous work, we proposed three TAIJI orbits to construct LISA-TAIJI networks and investigated their More than fifty gravitational wave (GW) events have performances on sky localizations for MBH binaries, con- been detected during the Advanced LIGO and Ad- straints on polarizations, and overlap reduction functions vanced Virgo observing runs O1-O3a, and all signals [1].

The dark matter candidate can naturally evade direct detection bounds, and can achieve the observed relic abundance via the thermal mechanism. Three scalar fields in the model obtain vacuum expectation values, related to phase transitions at the early Universe. We search for the parameter points that can cause first-order phase transitions, taking into account the existed experimental constraints. The resulting grav- itational wave spectra are further evaluated. Some parameter points are found to induce strong gravitational wave signals, which have the opportunity to be detected in future space-based interferometer experiments LISA, Taiji, and TianQin.
