NEW HIP BLOG

The Helsinki Upper Secondary School of Natural Sciences is located on the Kumpula campus in Helsinki. There is, thus, a natural opportunity for collaboration with the University on the same campus. In our latest HIP Blog post, you can read Matti Kalliokoski from HIP and Einari from the School writing about the School course on Electronics and Robotics conducted at the Detector laboratory.

“Initializing a uniform and isotropic universe”

Abstract: Generating a uniform and isotropic particle distribution (i.e., particle load or pre-initial condition) is the very first step for a cosmological simulation, and critically influences the simulated structures. In this talk, I will introduce and discuss our recent methods in setting up uniform and isotropic particle distributions, especially for simulations including both dark matter and baryons.

Haonan Zheng (Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Peking University)

“The population and diversity of HI-rich “dark” galaxies in simulations”

Abstract: In this talk, I plan to present our preliminary results on HI-rich, (almost) dark galaxies in the Hestia and Auriga simulations. Taking advantage of Hestia’s large, constrained simulation volume, we predict their number density out to 3.7 Mpc, and provide their population’s range in halo, gas, and HI properties. We find diversity in gas and HI mass beyond the dependence  on halo mass, and further investigate its origin with the Auriga simulations. Case studies indicate that their environment, merger histories, and equilibrium states might be the contributing factors.

Climate science and the energy transformation: challenges and opportunities (Professor David Brayshaw, University of Reading)

Tuesday 24 June 2025 at15:00-16:00, DYNAMICUM Aqua 1A13c

Energy systems around the world are undergoing rapid and far-reaching change. From the electrification of transport and heating, through to the growing dependence on renewables and increasing weather-exposure of infrastructure, there is an urgent need for high-quality weather and climate information across all time scales to support the energy transition. While much progress has been made over the last 10-15 years, there remain many areas of “disconnect” between energy- and climate- science that need to be addressed to enable deeper exchanges of ideas, data and know-how. This presentation will outline some of the questions, challenges and opportunities involved.

Meet asteroid researchers and hear about asteroid impact hazards and asteroid mining, and immerse yourself in the fascinating past of the Observatory in its exhibitions, and astronomical phenomena from our own solar system to distant galaxies. Although the event is targeted primarily for adults, it also offers experiences for the youngest in the family.
