MAGPOPThe Italian node (INAF+SISSA) • Node organization • Network activities and scientific highlights so far
INVOLVED INSTITUTES • Node is scattered both from a geographic (Padova + Trieste: 180 km) awa from an institutional point of view (INAF + SISSA) • INAF = Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF) gathers 12 ‘Observatories’. Pure research institute. People from 2 are involved in MAGPOP: Padova and Trieste (WWW.INAF.IT). • SISSA = Scuola Internazionale di Studi Superiori Avanzati. Pure PhD university institute in Trieste, provides PhDs in several scientific disciplines (WWW.SISSA.IT). • Most team members belongs to INAF. SISSA is involved to provide final PhD title to ESR.
INAF- OAPD BOX SIZE ' 180 km INAF- OATS & SISSA
Team members“Experts in stellar pop. synth, photo ionization codes and models for the effect of dust on SEDs” (ANNEX I)
Network related activities at INAF node • Our main role: support for modelling multi-wavelength SED of galaxies and AGNs, and the combination of two, in particular the effects of dust reprocessing • SSPs • Chemical evolution computation • GRASIL (mainly, but not only, SED of dusty galaxies) • Radiative models of AGN tori • Also models for galaxy formation • Two PhD students (ESR) are trained on these topics.
Research highlights so far • GALSYNTH (web interface for GRASIL) • Improvement of GRASIL treatment of MIR region (post-ISO PAHs) • Early type galaxies in mid IR with our SPIZTER data and our models • Tested against QSO LFs our model for the joint evolution of galaxies and QSOs
GALSYNTH a WEB interface to compute GRASIL modelshttp://web.pd.astro.it/galsynth • Anyone can register and be a user • Users have their workspaces • Interactive editing of parameters, with explanations and bound checking, including iterations • Sets of parameters can be saved, modified, reused. • Batch jobs are executed on a pool of our computers • When job completed, user is notified and downloads models
