The goal of this grant proposal (Auxílio a Pesquisa) is to provide the necessary subsidies for the continuation and development of the work carried out by my group at the Department of Astronomy, IAG/USP.Through panchromatic (mainly X-ray and optical) observations and numerical modeling of groups, clusters and superclusters, using techniques developed and/or used by our team, we hope to g…
We aim at studying the chemical enrichment of the intergalactic medium in groups of galaxies designing a comparative programme between simulations and observations. This programme will provide insights on the process of chemical recycling between galaxies and in the medium they inhabit and will help to set constrains on galaxy formation models. Because of the complexity and non-linear gro…
Professor Melville Ulmer will spend two weeks at IAG/USP where he will give a series of lectures on astronomical satellites, focusing on X-ray astronomy. These lectures will be part of a mini-course offered by the Graduate Astronomy Program at IAG. During the first week we will focus on technical topics such as the design and development of satellites. In the second week of the course he …

The main goal of this work to study and analyze quantitatively the effects due to tidal stripping and dynamical friction in dynamical extragalactic systems such as, for example, galaxies en clusters, globular cluster orbits and galaxy mergers. These dynamical processes have an impact on the evolution of these objects and contribute to several phenomena such as the formation of giant cD ty…
The main goal of this undergraduate project is to study and analyse quantitatively the effects due to tidal forces and dynamical friction in galaxies member of groups and clusters. These effects impact directly galaxy evolution and contribute to the formation of giant galaxies in the center of clusters. Also, tidal forces feed the intracluster medium with stars, observable as a diffuse li…
Rich galaxy clusters are the last and largest collapsed structures in the Universe. These structures grow by successive mergers according to the hierarchical scenario as a consequence of matter being dominated by a non-collisional cold component. In the present IC project, we intend to analyze the physical properties of clusters in collision through the use of N-body simulations. Comparin…
The main goal of this project is the study of the possible relation between the physical properties of the intracluster plasma, determined through X-ray observations, and the large scale environment where clusters are found. Based on the clusters X-ray analysis we will measure the density, temperature, and metallicity radial profiles, while the large scale structure in the neighborhood of…

Gravitational dynamical processes are essential for the formation and evolution of structures in the universe. When we have an object inserted into a given environment, several processes will act differently in determining their dynamical history. Here, we will focus on tidal forces and dynamical friction. The former will be responsible for mass loss and, in more extreme cases, will lead …
The mass and redshift distribution of galaxy clusters are key observables to determine the parameters of the cosmological model of the universe. The great challenge, however, is the efficient selection and precise determination of the masses of these objects. Samples selected based only on photometric data are subject to various complications such as projection effects, fragmentation due …
In this PhD project, we are trying to better explain how the environment of galaxy clusters affect the evolution of member galaxies, by means of hydrodynamic simulations. For this purpose, we have been using the state of the art, open source code RAMSES, originally developed by Romain Teyssier at CEA Saclay, France. In this BEPE internship project, we intend to enhance our current models …
