Illustris Simulation of cosmological Large Scale Structure, 300 million light years across, 2014
Large Scale Structure
Large Scale Structure
The Large Scale Structure in Cosmology is represented by the formation, evolution and statistics of density perturbations, from cluster of galaxies to the largest observable scales reaching billions of light years. My group at SISSA is involved in one of the main global efforts for measuring cosmological structures, directly and in cross-correlation with the Cosmic Microwave Background and Gravitational Waves, mainly in order to investigate the Dark Energy and Matter. See here for more detailed information available at SISSA.

The Euclid Satellite is designed to to operate from about 1000000 km from Earth, beyond the Moon, in the same location as the previous Planck Satellite. It will measure the location of billions of galaxies in the Universe, reaching a depth corresponding to billions of light years. The main goal is to constrain the Dark Cosmological Components, Matter and Energy, and to measure the dynamics of Cosmic Acceleration. It will be launched in 2021, and will be operational for 7 years. Hardware and operations will be supported by the European Space Agency. Support to science exploitation is provided by the Italian Space Agency, the National Institute for Nuclear Physics and for Astrophysics. I am co-coordinating the Working Group which is in charge of developing data analysis methodologies and measurements of the cross correlation between the Large Scale Structure and the Cosmic Microwave Background, where the research group at SISSA is mostly involved.
