Dissecting the main sequence of star forming galaxies across cosmic time

博士论文计划将推动使用当前和未来的成像和光谱测量来测量跨越宇宙时间的主序星系的物理性质(例如，恒星质量、SFR、金属度、恒星形成时间尺度/随机性、恒星形成历史)，使用Beagle、贝叶斯光谱和SED拟合代码。对单个物体的分析将使用贝叶斯方法自我一致地传播到整个人口范围的测量。该项目很可能还包括参加詹姆斯·韦伯空间望远镜的保证时间观测方案。这一研究计划的结果将为星系早期形成的机制和物理过程提供新的重要见解，以及它们随后跨越宇宙时代的演化。

The PhD thesis programme will constist in using current and future imaging and spectroscopic surveys to measure physical properties (e.g. stellar mass, sfr, metallicities, star-formation timescales/stochasticity, star-formation histories) of main-sequence galaxies spanning cosmic time using BEAGLE, a bayesian spectral and SED-fitting code. Analysis of individual objects will be self-consistently propagated to population-wide measurements using Bayesian methods. The project will most likely also involve participating in the guaranteed time observing programme of the James Webb Space Telescope. The results of this research program will provide new important insights on the mechanisms and physical processes responsible for the early formation of galaxies and their subsequent evolution across the cosmic epochs.
