The purpose of
the workshop is to bring together researches and and students working in the areas of
astrophysics and cosmology in an informal and interactive setting. We expect to have
50-60 participants mostly from New Mexico. We will also invite a small number of out-of-state
speakers.
The workshop will focus on a number of currently hot topics in extragalactic astronomy
and cosmology such as:
• Formation of galaxies in the expanding Universe: models, simulations, physics
• Early stages of galaxy evolution: gas around galaxies, absorption lines, infall and outflow
of gas.
• Neutral hydrogen and reheating, Ly-a forest
• Large-scale structure: non-linear and quasi-linear effects. Baryonic oscillations.
• Large cosmological simulations: constraints on cosmological parameters.
As the first state-wide ACCent meeting, this workshop will provide the opportunity
to review the current activities of different New Mexico State research groups in
this field.
