... Science Activities > PhD Thesis Topics offered by ESO Faculty Members > Thesis Topic: The interplay of massive stars, gas and dust in very nearby starbursts . ... The complex interplay between regions of massive star formation and their surroundings is a determining component of galaxy evolution. Winds of massive stars and the resulting supernova explosions inject mechanical energy into the interstellar medium, redistributing gas within a galaxy. ... Return to list of thesis topics . ...

At 3.6 and/or 6~cm we detect a total of 34 discrete sources, 13 of which are found in five separate extended complexes. ... The fact that, when observed with a compact VLA configuration, the IRAS sources with ``UCHII colors'' are found to be associated with arcminute-scale extended sources, rather than with compact or unresolved radio sources, may have important implications on the estimated lifetime of UCHII regions. ...

... We present the results of an ongoing survey of cool, late­type supergiants -- the descendants of massive O and B­type stars -- that has systematically detected magnetic fields in these stars using spectropolarimetric observations obtained with the ESPaDOnS at the Canada­France­Hawaii Telescope. Our observations reveal detectable, often complex Stokes V Zeeman signatures in the Least­Squares Deconvolution mean line profiles in a significant fraction of the observed sample of 30 stars. ...

Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) and atomic lines are observed as interstellar absorptions in GALAH and other massive spectroscopic stellar surveys. By observing a given DIB toward many stars which are nearly in the same direction, but at different distances, one can reconstruct absorption sites along the line of sight. ...
