1. Void Evolution and Cosmic Star Formation
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomiAbstract : The rate at which stars have formed throughout the history of theuniverse is not constant, it started out slow, increased until around redshift ∼ 2 when it reversed and became slower again. The reason for this behaviour is still being investigated with various models and simulations usually based upon dark matter halos. READ MORE

2. Forming wide-orbit planets via pebble accretion
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : The possibility that detected substructures in protoplanetary disks, such as gaps, rings and cavities, are created by distant protoplanets has prompted an inquiry into the mechanism responsible for their formation. These wide-orbit young bodies are likely to form relatively rapidly in the outer regions of circumstellar disks. READ MORE

3. Colliding Galaxies in a (Nut)Shell
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : Galaxy interactions and mergers are natural recurring events in the current cosmological paradigm, events that often coincide with starbursts and enhanced star formation activity. To understand why that is, one can use idealised (non-cosmological) merger simulations, which provide freedom to recreate specific tidally distorted galaxies, and analysis of the time evolution and underlying physics of the star formation activity at a high spatial resolution.

4. Measuring the [C II]-to-H I connection in high-redshift absorption-selected galaxies
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : HI neutral gas is the basic building block of galaxies. It dictates the star formation rate and hence the metal enrichment rates within high redshift galaxies. HI neutral gas cannot be directly observed beyond z ≈ 0. READ MORE

5. The visibility of double neutron star binaries to LISA
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : Double neutron star binaries (DNSBs) in the mHz gravitational wave (GW) regime are an important group of objects which the GW detector LISA will be able to observe. The detection and parametrization of these objects will help develop our current understanding of neutron star formation and evolution. READ MORE
