The signatures of the parental cluster on field planetary systemsNov 03 2017Nov 23 2017Due to the high stellar densities in young clusters, planetary systems formed in these environments are likely to have experienced perturbations from encounters with other stars. We carry out direct $N$-body simulations of multi-planet systems in star ... More The consequences of a nearby supernova on the early Solar SystemFeb 12 2018Apr 11 2018If the Sun was born in a relatively compact open cluster, it is quite likely that a massive (10MSun) star was nearby when it exploded in a supernova. The repercussions of a supernova can be rather profound, and the current Solar System may still bear ... More Rejuvenation in $z\sim0.8$ quiescent galaxies in LEGA-CMay 18 2019We use reconstructed star-formation histories (SFHs) of quiescent galaxies at $z=0.6-1$ in the LEGA-C survey to identify secondary star-formation episodes that, after an initial period of quiescence, moved the galaxies back to the star-forming main sequence ... More Cosmogenic photons strongly constrain UHECR source modelsSep 12 2016With the newest version of our Monte Carlo code for ultra-high-energy cosmic ray (UHECR) propagation, CRPropa 3, the flux of neutrinos and photons due to interactions of UHECRs with extragalactic background light can be predicted. Together with the recently ... More Determining neutrino absorption spectra at Ultra-High EnergiesJan 22 2008Apr 16 2008A very efficient method to measure the flux of Ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrinos is through the detection of radio waves which are emitted by the particle shower in the lunar regolith. The highest acceptance is reached for radio waves in the frequency ... More Multi-scale and multi-domain computational astrophysicsFeb 19 2014Astronomical phenomena are governed by processes on all spatial and temporal scales, ranging from days to the age of the Universe (13.8,Gyr) as well as from km size up to the size of the Universe. This enormous range in scales is contrived, but as long ... More PeV Neutrinos from Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic RaysJul 24 2014We investigate the possibility that the recently detected TeV-PeV neutrino events by IceCube can originate from extragalactic ultra-high-energy cosmic ray interactions with the cosmic microwave background or the UV/optical/IR background. This is done ... More The Astrophysical Multipurpose Software EnvironmentJul 11 2013We present the open source Astrophysical Multi-purpose Software Environment (AMUSE, www.amusecode.org), a component library for performing astrophysical simulations involving different physical domains and scales. It couples existing codes within a Python ...

Simulations of UHECR propagation ... More Realisation of a Frustrated 3D Magnetic Nanowire LatticeDec 06 2018Patterning nanomagnets in three-dimensions presents a new paradigm in condensed matter physics and allows access to a plethora of fundamental phenomena including robust spin textures, magnetic metamaterials that are home to defects carrying magnetic charge ... More Stellar Masses and SFRs for 1M Galaxies from SDSS and WISEJun 01 2015We combine SDSS and WISE photometry for the full SDSS spectroscopic galaxy sample, creating SEDs that cover lambda=0.4-22 micron for an unprecedented large and comprehensive sample of 858,365 present-epoch galaxies. Using MAGPHYS we then model simultaneously ... More Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays from Radio GalaxiesJan 24 2017Mar 08 2018Radio galaxies are intensively discussed as the sources of cosmic rays observed above about $3\,{\times}\,10^{18}\,\text{eV}$, called ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). We present a first, systematic approach that takes the individual characteristics ... More Major Merging: The Way to Make a Massive, Passive GalaxyOct 21 2009Nov 10 2009We analyze the projected axial ratio distribution, p(b/a), of galaxies that were spectroscopically selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (DR6) to have low star-formation rates. For these quiescent galaxies we find a rather abrupt change in p(b/a) ...

More Sum-product estimates via directed expandersMay 04 2007Let $\F_q$ be a finite field of order $q$ and $P$ be a polynomial in $\F_q[x_1, x_2]$. For a set $A \subset \F_q$, define $P(A):=\{P(x_1, x_2) | x_i \in A \}$. Using certain constructions of expanders, we characterize all polynomials $P$ for which the ...
