1. The diagnostic potential of the He I D3 spectral line in the solar atmosphere
Sammanfattning : The research question of my PhD is in a way a simple one: what can observations of the He I D3 line teach us about the solar chromosphere? This optical spectral line at 5876 Å is generally formed in the upper chromosphere, and is sensitive to the local magnetic field. The He I D3 line is also indirectly sensitive to heating of the transition region and corona, since it is resulting from a transition that occurs between levels in the triplet system of neutral helium.

2. On the Chemical Composition of Metal-Poor Stars : Impact of Stellar Granulation and Departures from Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium on the Formation of Spectral Lines
Sammanfattning : The information about the chemical compositions of stars is encoded in their spectra. Accurate determinations of these compositions are crucial for our understanding of stellar nucleosynthesis and Galactic chemical evolution. LÄS MER
3. Atomic Processes in Stellar Atmospheres : Inelastic Collisions and Effects on Late-type Spectra
Sammanfattning : Chemical abundances as measured from stellar spectral lines are often subject to uncertainties due to lack of accurate data for inelastic collisions, which is needed for non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) modelling. For cool stars, understanding of collision processes with electrons and hydrogen atoms is required to achieve high precision measurements. LÄS MER
4. On the Abundances of Li, Be and O in Metal-Poor Stars in the Galaxy
Sammanfattning : Stellar atmospheres constitute excellent environments to study the chemical evolution of our Galaxy. The chemical composition of these atmospheres reflects the composition of the gas from where these stars were born. LÄS MER
5. Unveiling a multi-scale view of massive star and cluster formation
Sammanfattning : Massive stars regulate the physical and chemical evolution of galaxies. Most stars within these galaxies, including massive ones, appear to be born in star clusters. However, there are many open questions about how these systems form from diffuse interstellar gas. LÄS MER
