Projects:   The origin of the Nuclear Star Cluster The purpose of the research is to systematically determine and characterize the processes involved in the build up of the Nuclear Star Cluster of the Milky Way and the surrounding central structures, and to investigate the consequences and implications for our understanding of the formation engines of galaxies in general. By studying the present d

  Projects:   Water vapor in the atmospheres of Red Giants I have made major contributions to the interpretation of high-resolution, mid-infrared spectra of stars, especially those of red supergiants. For instance, I discovered unexpected water vapour in the atmospheres of warm giant stars. These observations are very useful to test models of the outer atmospheric structures. We still do not know

Projects:   Near-IR Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy in the Laboratory With the new Fourier Transform Spectrometer installed at Lund Observatory, we are involved in measuring wavelengths and line strengths of transitions in astrophysically interesting elements, such as Sr, Y, and Ba.   IR spectroscopy at high spectral resolution for the E-ELT I am enaged by ESO to investigate the scientific case

The main aim of my research is to unravel the origin and evolution of large spiral galaxies like our own Milky Way. This is best done by by probing and mapping in detail the age, chemical abundance, and kinematical properties of its main structural components. To do this I have utilised different tracers: dwarf stars in the solar neighbourhood, red giant stars in the inner and outer regions of the

The third season of our astronomy podcast is now published and available! Brand new episodes were released every Friday during March 2023 on a wide variety of podcasting platforms, giving you an unique insight into the life and work of our researchers - and into the lives and works of a few visiting researchers. The very first season of The Meridian was released back in the fall of 2021, while sec
