The rise of the C IV mass density at z (2009)
D'Odorico, Valentina, Calura, Francesco, Cristiani, Stefano, Viel, Matteo
The cosmic evolution of the metal content of the intergalactic medium puts stringent constraints on the properties of galactic outflows and on the nature of UV background. In this paper, we present a...
Chemical evolution of local galaxies in a hierarchical model (2009)
Calura, Francesco, Menci, Nicola
We investigate the chemical properties of local galaxies within a cosmological framework in the hierarchical picture of galaxy formation. To this aim, we use a hierarchical semi-analytic model which...
Recchi, Simone, Calura, Francesco, Kroupa, Pavel
The chemical evolution of galaxies is investigated within the framework of the star formation rate (SFR) dependent integrated galactic initial mass function (IGIMF). We study how the global chemical...
Schurer, Andrew, Calura, Francesco, Silva, Laura, Pipino, Antonio, Granato, Gian Luigi, Matteucci, Francesca, ...
We present photometric evolution models of galaxies, in which, in addition to the stellar component, the effects of an evolving dusty interstellar medium have been included with particular care....
Properties of the galaxy population in hydrodynamical simulations of clusters (2007)
Saro, Alexandro, Borgani, Stefano, Tornatore, Luca, Dolag, Klaus, Murante, Giuseppe, Biviano, Andrea, ...
We present a study of the galaxy population predicted by hydrodynamical simulations for a set of 19 galaxy clusters based on the GADGET-2 Tree+SPH code. These simulations include gas cooling, star...
The cycle of interstellar dust in galaxies of different morphological types (2007)
Calura, Francesco, Pipino, Antonio, Matteucci, Francesca
By means of chemical evolution models for galaxies of different morphological type, we have performed a detailed study of the evolution of the cosmic dust properties in different environments: the...
On the evolution of the Fe abundance and of the Type Ia SN rate in clusters of galaxies (2007)
Calura, Francesco, Matteucci, Francesca, Tozzi, Paolo
The study of the Fe abundance in the intra cluster medium (ICM) provides strong constraints on the integrated star formation history and supernova rate of the cluster galaxies, as well as on the ICM...
The connection between Gamma-ray bursts and Supernovae Ib/c (2007)
Bissaldi, Elisabetta, Calura, Francesco, Matteucci, Francesca, Longo, Francesco, Barbiellini, Guido
It has been established that Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are connected to Supernovae (SNe) explosions of Type Ib/c. We intend to test whether the hypothesis of Type Ib/c SNe from different massive...
Cosmic evolution of metal densities: the enrichment of the Inter-Galactic Medium (2006)
Calura, Francesco, Matteucci, Francesca
By means of chemo-photometric models for galaxies of different morhological types, we have carried out a detailed study of the history of element production by spheroidal and dwarf irregular...
