The solver module of the Astrometric Verification Unit-Global Sphere Reconstruction (AVU-GSR) pipeline aims to find the astrometric parameters of ~10^8 stars in the Milky Way, the attitude and instrumental settings of the Gaia satellite and the parametrized post Newtonian parameter gamma with a 10-100 micro-arcseconds resolution. To perform this task, the code solves a system of linear...
The James Webb Space Telescope is allowing the characterisation of planetary atmospheres with a level of detail that exceeds the resolution of current models. With the future launch of the ESA mission Ariel, interpreting the large anticipated volume of such detailed spectra will require a new generation of models and theoretical frameworks. To timely tackle this challenge, we developed and are...
The remnants of core-collapse supernovae (SNe) display complex morphologies and a highly non-uniform distribution of stellar debris. In young remnants (less than 5,000 years old), these features encode valuable information about the processes at work in the SN engine, including nucleosynthetic yields and large-scale asymmetries that arise during the early stages of the explosion. Moreover,...
In this talk I will describe the "Dark Energy and Massive Neutrino Universe" (DEMNUni) simulation suite performed to study different probes of the large scale structure of the Universe in scenarios with massive neutrinos and dark energy equations of state. I will discuss the computational resources invested for the production and preservation of the DEMNUni dataset and present the main...
Square Kilometer Array is expected to generate hundreds of petabytes of data per year, two orders of magnitude more than current radio interferometers. Data processing at this scale necessitates advanced High Performance Computing (HPC) resources. However, modern HPC platforms consume up to tens of $MW$, i.e. megawatts, and energy-to-solution in algorithms will become of utmost importance in...
The High-Performance Computing, Big Data e Quantum Computing Research Centre, created and managed by the ICSC, is one of the five National Centres established by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), covering designated strategic sectors for the development of the country. The Centre is organized in 11 Spokes, one dedicated to infrastructure while the remaining 10 focused on 10...
Supernova remnants (SNRs) are expanding nebulae which in general show a rather complex morphology reflecting the interaction of the supernova (SN) blast wave with the circumstellar/interstellar medium (CSM/ISM), and the physical processes associated to the SN explosion and the internal structure of the progenitor star. The CSM/ISM into which the SNR expands is likely to be quite anisotropic as...
The Laboratory of Astroinformatics and Digital Planetology (LAPD) is a center of excellence in designing, developing, and optimizing advanced tools and methodologies to support space and planetary research. Its main activities are focused on several key areas:
- Development and Optimization of Codes for Simulation and Data Analysis:
The laboratory creates and refines advanced...
The HaMMon project is the outcome of an industrial partnership that includes many Italian research institutions and private companies, led by UnipolSai and Leitha. The project is funded from the ICSC, the National Research Centre for High Performance Computing, Big Data and Quantum Computing.
The ambition of HaMMon is to build a flexible and expandable platform to map the hydrogeological...
