Dynamical Modelling of Dark Matter Haloes

根据目前星系形成理论的范式，星系嵌入在巨大的暗物质晕中。为了绘制这些暗晕，我们可以根据观测到的恒星和气体的运动学来构建动力学模型。在这个项目中，我们将使用新的WEAVE-Apertif巡天数据，它将威廉赫歇尔望远镜（西班牙拉帕尔马）WEAVE光谱仪的光学积分场光谱与韦斯特伯克射电合成望远镜（荷兰德温格卢）上Apertif的射电数据结合起来。学生将适应和扩展当前的建模技术，将恒星和冷气体运动学都考虑在内。该学生还将加入WEAVE-Apertif科学团队，并将获得早期科学观察的机会。SUPA课程：高级天文数据分析（SUPAAAA）， SUPAOBS观测课程（SUPAOBS）。CAPOD课程：评估和学术不端行为：介绍（跨学院），辅导和演示：介绍（跨学院），PGR入门，PGR要点，研究数据：如何有效地存储和管理它们，获得并保持成功的组织，管理你的研究并与你的导师有效地合作

According to the current paradigm of galaxy formation theory, galaxies are embedded in massive haloes of dark matter. To map these dark haloes, we can construct dynamical models, based on the observed kinematics of stars and gas.In this project we will be using data of the new WEAVE-Apertif survey, which combines optical integral-field spectroscopy from the WEAVE spectrograph at the William Herschel Telescope (La Palma, Spain) with radio data of Apertif on the Westerbork Radio Synthesis Telescope (Dwingeloo, the Netherlands). The student will be adapting and expanding current modelling techniques, to take both the stellar and cold gas kinematics into account. The student will also join the WEAVE-Apertif science team, and will have access to early-science observations.SUPA Courses: Advanced Data Analysis for Astronomy (SUPAAAA), SUPA Observing Course (SUPAOBS).Local Courses: Auditing Extragalactic Astronomy CAPOD Courses: Assessment and Academic Misconduct: An introduction (cross-faculty), Tutoring and Demonstrating: An introduction (cross-faculty), PGR Induction, PGR Essentials, Research Data: How to Store and Manage them Effectively, Getting and Staying Organised for Success, Managing your Research and Working Effectively with your Supervisor
