From theoretical stellar spectra to realistic models of the Milky Way : a never ending Odyssey [PDF]

, 2007
The last chapter is dedicated to the compilation of the results and the discussion about the success of - but also about the problems that have arisen during - and in part also survived - this work. The main goal of this thesis was, firstly, to convert

The Black Hole Mass Function: From Stellar to Supermassive [PDF]

, 2023
The overall purpose of this thesis is to establish the black hole (BH) mass function, from stellar to supermassive. We divide this work into two: 1) the stellar black hole mass function covering the mass range $m_{\bullet} \sim 5 - 150 \ M_{\odot}$; 2 ...

Early assembly of the most massive galaxies [PDF]

, 2009
The current consensus is that galaxies begin as small density fluctuations in the early Universe and grow by in situ star formation and hierarchical merging(1).

Disentangling planetary orbits from stellar activity in radial-velocity surveys [PDF]

, 2013
The majority of extra-solar planets have been discovered (or confirmed after follow-up) through radial-velocity (RV) surveys. Using ground-based spectrographs such as High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planetary Search (HARPS) and HARPS-North, it is now ...

The California-Kepler survey. X. The radius gap as a function of stellar mass, metallicity, and age [PDF]

, 2022
In 2017, the California-Kepler Survey (CKS) published its first data release (DR1) of high-resolution optical spectra of 1305 planet hosts. Refined CKS planet radii revealed that small planets are bifurcated into two distinct populations, super-Earths ...

A Statistical Relation between Mass, Age, and Velocity Dispersion in the Solar Neighborhood

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The stellar kinematics of the Galactic disk are the main factors constraining disk formation and evolution processes in the Milky Way. In this paper, we investigate a statistical relation between stellar mass, age, and velocity dispersion for stars in ...

What makes a star turn violent? : exploring high-mass star formation and stellar magnetic helicity [PDF]

, 2021
High-mass stars play an important role in both the dynamical and chemical evolution of the galaxy, hence how they form has long been a topic of interest. In this thesis I explore accretion as a possible means of forming high-mass stars.

The Roles of Morphology and Environment on the Star Formation Rate–Stellar Mass Relation in COSMOS from 0 < z < 3.5

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We investigate the relationship between environment, morphology, and the star formation rate (SFR)–stellar mass relation derived from a sample of star-forming (SF) galaxies (commonly referred to as the “star formation main sequence”, SFMS) in the COSMOS ...
