Dear colleagues,

This is the last announcement of the ASTRO 3D West Coast Swings workshop to be held in Perth September 17-21, 2018. Abstract submission is still open until end of the week!

As an ASTRO 3D workshop, childcare services throughout the workshop will be available upon request!

Please do not hesitate to circulate this announcement !!

Looking forward to meeting you in Perth,

Kind Regards,

Charlotte Welker

Exploring the connection between the cosmic web and galaxy evolution for next generation surveys Dates 17-21 September 2018 Location ICRAR-UWA, 7 Fairway, Crawley, 6009, Western Australia Rationale On the largest scales of the Universe, matter is organized as a network of voids, walls and over-dense filaments along which dark matter and baryons ...


We are delighted to announce the new version of the West Coast Swings workshop, that will be held on September 17-21 at the International Centre for Radio-Astronomy Research, University of Western Australia, Australia.
The workshop will consist of three days of conference-style lectures followed by two days of hands-on workshop segmented in sessions dealing with specific projects.

Rationale:
The large scale anisotropic environment of the cosmic web informs the geometry  and dynamics of various accretion modes onto galaxies hence impacts their evolution, in particular the evolution of their gas content and angular momentum. Increasing evidence for such a connection have been found over the years with the discovery of correlations between the orientation of galactic spins and that of local cosmic filaments. Can we go beyond the simple analysis of spin orientations? Can we constrain the impact of cosmic flows on galactic structure and kinematics? Can we find smoking-gun signatures of this interplay at low-redshift? With the advent of next-generation facilities such as the SKA and the development of large scale integral field spectroscopy surveys such as SAMI, MaNGA and soon Hector, specifically designed to track these interactions, there is an increasing need to bring together theorists of the large scale structures of the Universe and experts on galaxy dynamics and the identification of cosmic structures to better constrain the design of such surveys, develop methods to unravel this complex interplay between galaxies and their environment and make predictions for next generation All-sky surveys.

This workshop will critically review major progresses in the description and reconstruction of the cosmic web enabled by recent observational and computational advances, and key developments in the understanding of its impact on galaxy evolution. It will launch a series a projects involving joint contributions from observers and numericists and foster international collaborations. Projects will be debated during the workshop and will include the production of mocks for upcoming surveys and the development of methods to relate galactic spins to the archaeology of cosmic flows.
