Over recent years, the Spanish community working on computational studies of galaxy formation and large-scale structure has reached a level of maturity and critical mass that motivates the creation of a dedicated forum within the SEA meeting. This symposium aims to bring together researchers involved in state-of-the-art numerical simulations across a wide range of scales, from high-resolution models of galaxy internal physics to next-generation cosmological volumes reproducing the cosmic web.
The symposium will provide a platform to:
Present recent scientific results in galaxy formation and numerical cosmology
Foster scientific and technical synergies between groups
Encourage new national and international collaborations
Highlight methodological advances, including machine learning, advanced data analysis, and alternative cosmological models
Topics will include (but are not limited to): dwarf galaxies, spiral galaxies, the Local Group, galaxy clusters, large-scale structure, comparisons with major observational surveys (e.g. Euclid, DESI, Gaia), and simulations in non-standard cosmological frameworks.
The symposium is planned to consist of three 1.5/2 hours blocks, including two introductory reviews, invited focused talks and contributed presentations.
Both oral contributions and e-posters will be accepted.
