2. 1. Star-forming Dwarf Galaxies : Internal motions and evolution

   Author : Thomas Marquart; Nils Bergvall; Janice Lee; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Galaxy; Galaxies; Dynamics; Kinematics; Starburst; Dwarf Galaxies; Blue Compact Galaxies; Star Formation; Galaxy mergers; 3D-Spectroscopy; Spectroscopy; Astronomy; Astronomi;

   Abstract : The study of dwarf galaxies is important in order to better understand the physics of the young universe and how larger galaxies form and evolve. In this work we focus on Blue Compact Galaxies (BCGs) which havemuch enhanced star formation (starbursts), causing blue colours and strong emission line spectra. READ MORE

5. 3. Exploring the nature of ISM turbulencein disc galaxies

   Author : Timmy Ejdetjärn; Göran Östlin; Oscar Agertz; Garrelt Mellema; Troels Haugbølle; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; galaxies; galaxy; disc galaxy; star formation; ISM; interstellar medium; kinematics; dynamics; evolution; turbulence; numerical; Astronomy; astronomi; teoretisk astrofysik; Theoretical Astrophysics;

   Abstract : Galaxy formation is a continuous process that started only a few hundred million yearsafter the Big Bang. The first galaxies were very volatile, with bursts of star formationand disorganised gas motions. READ MORE

6. 4. On the origin and evolution of blue compact galaxies

   Author : Göran A. Östlin; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Astronomy; galaxies - compact; formation; evolution; starburst; interactions; dwarf; photometry; kinematics and dynamics; low surface brightness galaxies; Astronomi; Astronomy and astrophysics; Astronomi och astrofysik; astronomi; Astronomy;

   Abstract : This thesis is focused on the origin and evolution of blue compact galaxies (BCGs). BCGs are low mass galaxies characterised by blue colours, low chemical abundances and high star formation rates. The gas consumtion time scale is considerable shorter than the age of the universe and thus the high star formation rate must be transient. READ MORE

7. 5. Molecular gas in the galaxy M83 : Its distribution, kinematics, and relation to star formation

   Author : Andreas Andersson Lundgren; Hans Olofsson; John Whiteoak; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular gas; Galaxies; Galaxies individual: M83; Star formation; Galactic dynamics; Astronomy and astrophysics; Astronomi och astrofysik;

   Abstract : The barred spiral galaxy M83 (NGC5236) has been observed in the 12CO J=1–0 and J=2–1 millimetre lines with the Swedish-ESO Submillimetre Telescope (SEST). The sizes of the CO maps are 100×100, and they cover the entire optical disk. The CO emission is strongly peaked toward the nucleus. READ MORE
