We are looking for ambitious students keen to join the project. They can be involved in different aspects, both observational and theoretical/computational

The ISM of spiral galaxies is a dynamic environment consisting of thermal gas, relativistic particles, magnetic fields, and dust. The project aims to decipher the origin of filamentary structures in the ISM using numerical simulations as well as observational data.

This project will simulate observations of the rotation measure (RM) at high Galactic latitude that traces the magnetic structures of the Milky Way. The goal is to pinpoint the cause of the recently discovered asymmetry in the RM patterns between the two Galactic hemispheres.

In this project, you will lead development of a key sub system (optical, mechanical, computational) to enable novel ultra-high resolution, visible light instrument Pyxis: a prototype for an astrophysical space interferometer.

Supermassive black holes in the early Universe are more massive than we can presently explain. We aim to construct their demographics and reveal their origin.

Blue stragglers are main-sequence stars that are more luminous and bluer than stars of the same age, and their existence has long defied standard stellar evolution.

The student will work with Prof. Krumholz to design and run simulations using the enzo adaptive mesh refinement code.

The student will analyse Gaia data to recompute orbits of unbound metal-poor stars, exploring their origins and role in the Milky Way’s evolution.

The student will model the gamma-ray emission around the Milky Way's central bubble.

In this project, the idea would be to combine the publicly available GALAH and APOGEE spectra and analyse them together: We should be able to measure up to 40 different elements from hundreds of lines and provide the community with reference values.

By conducting this comprehensive study, we will gain valuable insights into the distinctive properties of the HI gas in the Magellanic Stream. This will allow us to compare the properties of HI gas in the Magellanic Stream with those in the Magellanic Clouds and the Milky Way, shedding light on the differences between.

By mapping the motions of many galaxies, this project aims to precisely measure the amount and distribution of both visible and dark matter and test Einstein’s theory of gravity.
