Research in Theoretical Astrophysics and Cosmology

将对宇宙学和星系形成领域的基本问题和相关问题进行研究。重点将放在改进盘状星系中全球恒星形成率的模型，并将这一方法发展成适用于盘状星系和原星系的早期演化。这将使人们能够预测它们的光度、光谱和化学演化。第二个研究将是开放宇宙模型中宇宙微波背景辐射的角各向异性。从各向异性的微小偏差是不可避免的，并探索宇宙大尺度结构的起源；详细的预测是必要的，以与实验相比较。首席研究员被公认为理论宇宙学和河外天文学的世界领导者之一。

Research will be performed on fundamental and relevant problems in the areas of cosmology and galaxy formation. Emphasis will be placed on improving models for the global star formation rate in disk galaxies and developing this approach to be applicable to the early evolution of disks and to protogalaxies. This will enable one to predict their luminosity, spectral and chemical evolution. A second investigation will be of the angular anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation in open cosmological models. Small deviations from anisotropy are inevitable and probe the origin of the large-scale structure in the Universe; detailed predictions are necessary to compare with experiments. The Principal Investigator is recognized as one of the world leaders in theoretical cosmology and extragalactic astronomy.
