Gluon and Ghost Dynamics from Lattice QCD

The two point gluon and ghost correlation functions and the three gluon vertex are investigated, in the Landau gauge, using lattice simulations. For the two point functions, we discuss the approach to the continuum limit looking at the dependence on the lattice spacing and volume. The analytical structure of the propagators is also investigated by computing the corresponding spectral functions using an implementation of the Tikhonov regularisation to solve the integral equation. For the three point function we report results when the momentum of one of the gluon lines is set to zero and discuss its implications.Comment: Proceedings of Light Cone 2016, held in Lisbon, September 2016.

Panchromatic models of galaxies: GRASIL

We present here a model for simulating the panchromatic spectral energy distribution of galaxies, which aims to be a complete tool to study the complex multi-wavelength picture of the universe. The model take into account all important components that concur to the SED of galaxies at wavelengths from X-rays to the radio. We review the modeling of each component and provide several applications, interpreting observations of galaxy of different types at all the wavelengths.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, invited talk, to appear in the proceedings of: "The Spectral Energy Distribution of Gas-Rich Galaxies: Confronting Models with Data", Heidelberg, 4-8 Oct. 2004, eds.
