Giorno 3 giugno 2024, con inizio alle ore 15:00, presso la Sala Conferenze del DFA, il Dr Ari Cukierman (Caltech, USA) terrà un seminario dal titolo SPHEREx: An All-Sky Spectral Survey.

Modera il Dott. Massimo Germanà (Dottorando in Fisica, 39° ciclo).

Il seminario appartiene al ciclo degli Highlights in Frontier Physics, nell'ambito delle attività del Dottorato di ricerca in Fisica.

Tutte le persone interessate sono invitate a partecipare.

Abstract. I will present SPHEREx, a NASA mission to map the entire sky with near-infrared spectroscopy. With a targeted launch date in early 2025, SPHEREx has broad scientific reach including 1) cosmic inflation through the three-dimensional distribution of galaxies, 2) the formation of galaxies and the history of light production through deep maps of large-scale clustering and 3) the origin of water in planetary systems by mapping ice absorption in the Milky Way. I will describe the instrument, the survey plan and the expected science return. I will also discuss additional science cases that can be pursued with the legacy archive that will be made available to the community.
