From galaxies to the cosmic web and back: the interplay of different scales in galaxy formation and cosmic reionization
(2020-10-08)
The evolution of the Universe is primarily governed by gravity, that triggers the development of a complex web-like distribution of galaxies. The latter are embedded in larger structures, called haloes, mainly composed by ...
From star formation to regional distribution: Influences on the embedded cluster mass function
(2021-07-02)
In this work we study the embedded cluster mass function (ECMF), meaning the mass distribution
function of embedded clusters. Embedded clusters are fully or partially enclosed in interstellar gas,
dust and molecular ...
The structure of massive star-forming clumps
(2021-11-25)
Among many other critical questions in astrophysics, the high-mass star formation process is a matter of heated debate; so far a comprehensive understanding is lacking. Star formation takes place in cold molecular clouds. ...
Testing models of galaxy formation and evolution with galaxy-galaxy-galaxy lensing
(2021-03-29)
Explaining the formation and evolution of galaxies is a fundamental issue in modern astronomy. Several competing models try to explain how galaxies form and predict the relationship between galaxies and dark matter. A ...
Weak lensing magnification & baryon acoustic oscillations in galaxy-galaxy lensing
(2021-09-08)
Cosmology is the science that aims to explain the Universe in its entirety. While the standard cosmological model has had tremendous success in explaining independent astrophysical observations, we still lack understanding ...
A 3-mm Imaging Line Survey of the Central Molecular Zones of M 82 and IC 342
(2020-07-07)
The central molecular zones of two nearby galaxies M 82 and IC 342 are among the most prominent extragalactic molecular sources in the northern hemisphere. While M 82 is a relatively small late type starburst galaxy, IC ...
Die Implementierung des Themas Fernerkundung in den Schulunterricht der Sekundarstufe I durch das neue MINT-Wahlpflichtfach "Geographie-Physik": eine Studie zur praktischen Schulfachgestaltung im Differenzierungsbereich der Jahrgangsstufen 8 und 9 an Gymnasien in Nordrhein-Westfalen am Beispiel des Gymnasiums Siegburg Alleestraße
(2021-10-26)
Schülerinnen und Schüler werden in ihrer Alltagswelt seit dem letzten Jahrzehnt immer früher mit Satellitenbildern konfrontiert. Durch den Wetterbericht und die Nachrichtensendung im Fernsehen oder durch virtuelle Globen ...
Probing the Interstellar Medium and Dark Matter with Pulsars
(2020-03-05)
Pulsars are rapidly rotating, highly magnetised neutron stars which emit electromagnetic radiation from their magnetic poles in the form of highly collimated beams. Pulsars are known as a powerful tool to probe the ...
New Insights into the Milky Way Magnetic Fields through Radio Broadband Spectro-polarimetry
(2020-03-05)
Magnetic field is an essential ingredient of the interstellar medium of galaxies. In particular, an accurate characterisation of the magnetic field strength and structure of the Milky Way is crucial for complete understanding ...
Halo bias renormalisation
(2020-06-09)
Modern galaxy redshift surveys provide a wealth of information about the evolution of our Universe. They allow to measure both the two-dimensional position on the sky and the distance (given by the cosmological redshift) ...
