Zehavi hosts modeling galaxy clustering at Aspen Center for Physics
The Aspen Center for Physics was the site of a three-week session organized in part by Idit Zehavi, Case Western Reserve University assistant professor of astronomy.
During that time, 40 participants from all over the world attended the Modeling Galaxy Clustering workshop Zehavi coordinated with Andreas Berlind from New York University and Joanne Cohn and Martin White from the University of California at Berkeley.
According to Zehavi, the meeting brought together theorists, modelers, phenomenologists and observers together to build a framework for interpreting and understanding the flood of data unleashed by recent surveys.
Discussing different approaches to studying galaxy clustering and unraveling galactic evolution, Zehavi said, helps the astronomers see where they agree and disagree and the direction that future research might take. Read more.
