CIB anisotropies in the Bootes field  (Planck/HFI map)

Planck 2013 results, XXX.

I mainly work on three research topics:

1. -Role of large-scale environment on star formation:
   

        Cosmic Infrared Background Anisotropies  & CII intensity mapping                    

        Distribution of star formation among dark matter halos

        Cosmological model

1. -Galaxy formation and evolution:
   

        Role of dusty star-forming galaxies into galaxy assembly

        Physical conditions in galaxies (gas and dust)

        Cosmic Infrared Background (redshift contribution, total intensity)

        Reionization

        Intensity mapping (CII at z>4.5 and CO at 0.5<z<2.5)

1. -Galactic foregrounds to the Cosmic Infrared and Microwave Backgrounds (CIB and CMB):
   

        Thermal dust in the diffuse interstellar medium of our Galaxy

        Anomalous microwave emission (spinning dust)

Main data used:

1. -Star-forming dusty galaxies, CIB anisotropies, cosmological model, reionisation:
   

        ISO (FIRBACK project), Archeops, Spitzer (MIPS and IRS), Herschel, Planck,

        IRAM/NIKA-NIKA2, APEX/CONCERTO

1. -CIB intensity, Galactic foregrounds:
   

        COBE, WMAP, Archeops, Herschel, Planck

1. -Interstellar gas tracers in the Galaxy:
   

        HI (Leiden/Dwingeloo, EBHIS and GASS), Halpha (WHAM), CO

Modelling:

I am also developping empirical and semi-analytical models of galaxy evolution
