Research

Galaxy formation and evolution

* Models for the spectral energy distribution (SED) of galaxies with radiative transfer (RT)
* development and maintenance of the code GRA(phite)&SIL(icate) for modeling the UV to
sub-mm SED of galaxies:
GRASIL and related stuff
*
Links to SED libraries built with GRASIL (more in preparation):
-
SED templates for GRB hosts by Michalowski et al (2008)
-
GRASIL model SEDs for a sample of  ULIRGs
* Studies of galaxy formation and evolution with SED fitting and semi-analytical galaxy
formation models

Astrobiology

* Climate models and habitability studies for terrestrial type exoplanets
* Archive of terrestrial-type climate simulations
