MAGPOPThe Italian node (INAFSISSA)

• Node organization
• Network activities and scientific highlights so
  far

INVOLVED INSTITUTES

• Node is scattered both from a geographic (Padova
  Trieste 180 km) awa from an institutional
  point of view (INAF SISSA)
• INAF Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF)
  gathers 12 Observatories. Pure research
  institute. People from 2 are involved in MAGPOP
  Padova and Trieste (WWW.INAF.IT).
• SISSA Scuola Internazionale di Studi Superiori
  Avanzati. Pure PhD university institute in
  Trieste, provides PhDs in several scientific
  disciplines (WWW.SISSA.IT).
• Most team members belongs to INAF. SISSA is
  involved to provide final PhD title to ESR.

Network related activities at INAF node

• Our main role support for modelling
  multi-wavelength SED of galaxies and AGNs, and
  the combination of two, in particular the effects
  of dust reprocessing
• SSPs
• Chemical evolution computation
• GRASIL (mainly, but not only, SED of dusty
  galaxies)
• Radiative models of AGN tori
• Also models for galaxy formation
• Two PhD students (ESR) are trained on these
  topics.

Research highlights so far

• GALSYNTH (web interface for GRASIL)
• Improvement of GRASIL treatment of MIR region
  (post-ISO PAHs)
• Early type galaxies in mid IR with our SPIZTER
  data and our models
• Tested against QSO LFs our model for the joint
  evolution of galaxies and QSOs

GALSYNTH a WEB interface to compute GRASIL
modelshttp//web.pd.astro.it/galsynth

• Anyone can register and be a user
• Users have their workspaces
• Interactive editing of parameters, with
  explanations and bound checking, including
  iterations
• Sets of parameters can be saved, modified,
  reused.
• Batch jobs are executed on a pool of our
  computers
• When job completed, user is notified and
  downloads models
