- « Online workshop gravitational-wave primordial cosmology »
The main goal of the workshop is to critically review recent progress about the potential of gravitational waves to probe inflation on small scales, but related aspects like preheating, primordial black holes, phase transitions and the thermal history of the universe will also be discussed. A particular focus will be given to the observability of the various properties of the stochastic gravitational wave background, including its spectral shape and polarisation, and their implications for the inflationary mechanism and field content. Cross-correlations with other observables will also be discussed, together with methods of data analysis and prospect for detection. This workshop will not be limited to a review of recent progress. It also aims at collectively identifying important open questions and assessing the potential of discovery of gravitational wave astronomy for primordial cosmology. In addition to invited presentations, lasting 30 minutes each, time will be left for informal discussions, and the workshop will end with a summary of the important issues to address in this field.- Contact : Sébastien Renaux-Petel

- « CoSyne: Cosmological synergies in the upcoming decade »
The coming decade of astrophysics and cosmology will be driven by a large number of missions which will explore the cosmos observing the sky through e.g. electromagnetic waves, cosmic and gamma rays, gravitational waves and neutrinos. This will make possible a multi-messenger approach, capitalizing on multiple probes that capture phenomena of the Universe in different observational channels over a large range of redshifts. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working on theoretical aspects, statistical methods and observational cosmology, in order to discuss: the synergies between different cosmological observables in answering the fundamental questions in the field of astrophysics and cosmology; the synergies between different cosmological missions which are required to achieve maximum gains from the data sets of the upcoming missions; the theoretical aspects which we will learn from the synergetic studies, the readiness of numerical simulations, and the required statistical methods for the analysis of data from these different probes.- Contact : Suvodip Mukherjee

- « Journée Inversion et problèmes multi-* »
La résolution de problèmes inverses suscite continûment l’intérêt de la communauté du traitement du signal et de l’image. Les nouveaux défis auxquels les chercheurs et chercheuses sont confrontés les invitent à continuellement proposer de nouveaux modèles et algorithmes, capables notamment d’appréhender la diversité et le volume des données à traiter et des objets à reconstruire. Ainsi, des développements récents ont permis de proposer des approches non-supervisées, rapides, passant à l’échelle et fournissant des solutions dont la qualité peut être garantie. Dans ce contexte, de nouveaux paradigmes d’acquisition conduisent à se saisir des problématiques des données acquises et des objets à reconstruire qui sont multi-variés, multi-valeurs, multi-capteurs ou multi-dates. Cette journée vise à faire le point sur les récentes avancées pour la résolution de problèmes inverses permettant de traiter ces aspects multi-*.- Contact : Christophe Pichon

- « The Milky Way and its environment: gaining insights into the drivers of galaxy formation and evolution »
The level of detail one can attain through the study of individual stars, the interstellar medium, the birth places of stars, and the properties of dark matter in the Milky Way (MW) and its halo scale environment is such that astrophysicists can begin to quantitatively constrain many of their ideas about the formation and evolution of the MW and the Local Group galaxies. Given how much detail one can obtain about the MW, the availability of the GAIA data releases, and the fact that studying analogs of the MW in the distant Universe is reaching maturity, it is the time to bring experts together from three often disjoint astrophysical communities: observers and theoreticians who focus on the MW and nearby galaxies, observers who study the physical properties of MW progenitors in the early universe, and modelers and theoretician who study galaxy formation and evolution focusing on the evolution of spiral galaxies. The goal of this confernce is not to determine whether the MW is a typical galaxy for its mass but to generalize what is known about the MW within the broader context of galaxy evolution and its underlying physical drivers.- Contact : Nicolas Prantzos

- « Molecular Hydrogen Physics in Space with JWST »
The physics and chemistry of molecular gas are key to three fundamental questions in astrophysics: the formation of galaxies, stars and planets. Progress in these areas depends critically on our ability to observe the molecular gas in galaxies, especially H2. H2 initiates complex interstellar chemistry by bounding with heavier elements. H2 is a tracer of the low-metallicity molecular material in the outskirts of galaxies, but also a tracer of the energetic processes that shape the structure of the interstellar matter, from galactic scales to the scales of turbulent dissipation. In that sense, H2 is very complementary to CO. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), to be launched in October 2018, will allow us to observe the rotation-vibration lines of H2 with a sensitivity and a spatial resolution 100 times greater than Spitzer and VLT/SINFONI/KMOS. This meeting aims at presenting current work on H2 physics and chemistry in space, and stimulate new work, focusing on models and lab experiments, to prepare observing projects in the very competitive perspective of the JWST observing calls (April 2017 for the Early Release Science and October 2017 for the open time calls).- Contact : Pierre Guillard

- « Gravity and experiment »
Gravity appears to be one of the ingredients of open problems that span an impressive range of length scales and several research fields - theoretical and mathematical physics, cosmology, astrophysics. Characteristic examples are the quantum nature of space-time, vacuum energy and the cosmological constant, dark matter and dark energy, black holes physics. One of the key problems in gravity is the limited amount of experimental guidance. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together leading experimentalists and a handful of theorists and discuss how ongoing and future experiments that can lead to new insights on the gravitational interaction. Experiments at all scales are covered, from tabletop to space missions, and across all fields, from gravitational waves and relativistic astrophysics to cosmology and analogue gravity.- Contact : Enrico Barausse

- « Gaia in AGN and Extragalactic Science (GAGNES) »
Quasars and AGN’s (~500 000) are with stars (~1 billion), the most fascinating targets up to be collected by the Gaia satellite which constitutes a fully funded ESA 'Cornerstone' mission. The Gaia mission, typically built for quasi-punctual sources, will detect over the whole sky and with an exceptional accuracy quasars as well as bright and compact AGNs on the deepest z-coverage. The science with quasars brings fundamental bases to build reference systems as well as to link supermassive black holes and star formation histories at the earliest epochs. The GAGNES meeting concerns a large community of scientific researchers and engineers involved and/or interested by Gaia data (analysis, mining, physics). On the other hand, the GAGNES meeting will gather the widest community on various topics for the science exploitation and complementary programs.- Contact : Brigitte Rocca-Volmerange

- « 2nd mini-workshop on gravity and cosmology @ IAP »
Einstein’s theory of relativity has been successful in explaining and predicting many gravitational phenomena. Experimentally, however, we do not know how gravity behaves at distances shorter than about 0.01 mm.For example there may be hidden dimensions at short distances. In fact, many theories, including superstring theories and M-theory, require the existence of such extra dimensions. Gravity at very long distances, e.g. billions of light-years,may also be as weird as at short distances. Precision observational data revealed that the expansion of our universe is accelerating. If Einstein’s theory is correct, this requires that more than 70 percent of our universe is filled with invisible, negative pressure, energy. This energy is named dark energy, but we do not know what it really is. We thus wonder if we can change Einstein’s theory at long distances to address the mystery of dark energy.These considerations let us believe that gravity is the key to tackle the mysteries in modern cosmology such as dark energy, dark matter, inflation and big-bang singularity. Toward this ambitious goal, in this mini-workshop we get together and explore various aspects of gravity and cosmology.- Contact : Olivia Leroy

- « Lithium in the Cosmos »
In 1982, seminal work showed the puzzling behaviour of Lithium7 in low-metallicity, halo stars of our Galaxy. Those observations did in fact establish the paradigm of a Lithium7 abundance constant in stars spanning three orders of magnitude in metallicity. Since then, this finding has challenged our understanding of Stellar Atmospheres, Cosmological Nucleosynthesis and Stellar Formation environments, becoming known as the "Lithium Problem".- Contact : Fabio Iocco
