Dynamical Modelling of Dark Matter Haloes

根据目前星系形成理论的范式，星系嵌入在大量暗物质的晕中。为了绘制这些暗晕，我们可以构建动力学模型，根据观察到的恒星和气体的运动学。在这个项目中，我们将使用新的WEAVE-Ektif调查的数据，它结合了光学积分场光谱的WEAVE摄谱仪在威廉赫歇尔望远镜（西班牙拉帕尔马）与无线电数据的Ektif的Westerbork射电综合望远镜（荷兰Dwingeloo）。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考虑在内。学生还将加入WEAVE-Eschertif科学团队，并将有机会获得早期科学观测。SUPA课程：高级天文学数据分析（SUPAAAA），SUPA观测课程（SUPAOBS）。本地课程：审核河外天文学CAPOD课程：评估和学术不端行为：介绍（跨学院），辅导和示范：介绍（跨学院），PGR诱导，PGR要点，研究数据：如何有效地存储和管理它们，获得和保持组织成功，管理您的研究并与您的主管有效地工作

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
