The evolution of the content of heavy elements in galaxies, the relative chemical
abundances, their spatial distribution, and how these scale with various galactic properties …

Over the past two decades, an avalanche of new data from multiwavelength imaging and
spectroscopic surveys has revolutionized our view of galaxy formation and evolution. Here …

The presence of excess scatter in the Ly-α forest at z∼ 5.5, together with the existence of
sporadic extended opaque Gunn-Peterson troughs, has started to provide robust evidence …

We investigate the impact of uncertainty in the metallicity-specific star formation rate over
cosmic time on predictions of the rates and masses of double compact object mergers …

Six gravitational wave events have been reported by the LIGO-Virgo collaboration (LVC),
five of them associated with black hole binary (BHB) mergers and one with a double neutron …

We evaluate the redshift distribution of binary black hole (BBH), black hole–neutron star
binary (BHNS), and binary neutron star (BNS) mergers, exploring the main sources of …

Previous simulations of the growth of cosmic structures have broadly reproduced the 'cosmic
web'of galaxies that we see in the Universe, but failed to create a mixed population of …

Studying the formation and evolution of black hole binaries (BHBs) is essential for the
interpretation of current and forthcoming gravitational wave (GW) detections. We investigate …

Star formation lies at the center of a web of processes that drive cosmic evolution:
generation of radiant energy, synthesis of elements, formation of planets, and development …

We present the first results from an ongoing survey for damped Lyman-α systems (DLAs) in
the spectra of z> 2 quasars observed in the course of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic …
