According to the current paradigm of galaxy formation theory, galaxies are embedded in massive haloes of dark matter. To map these dark haloes, we can construct dynamical models, based on the observed kinematics of stars and gas.In this project we will be using data of the new WEAVE-Apertif survey, which combines optical integral-field spectroscopy from the WEAVE spectrograph at the William Herschel Telescope (La Palma, Spain) with radio data of Apertif on the Westerbork Radio Synthesis Telescope (Dwingeloo, the Netherlands). The student will be adapting and expanding current modelling techniques, to take both the stellar and cold gas kinematics into account. The student will also join the WEAVE-Apertif science team, and will have access to early-science observations.SUPA Courses: Advanced Data Analysis for Astronomy (SUPAAAA), SUPA Observing Course (SUPAOBS).Local Courses: Auditing Extragalactic Astronomy CAPOD Courses: Assessment and Academic Misconduct: An introduction (cross-faculty), Tutoring and Demonstrating: An introduction (cross-faculty), PGR Induction, PGR Essentials, Research Data: How to Store and Manage them Effectively, Getting and Staying Organised for Success, Managing your Research and Working Effectively with your Supervisor

根据当前星系形成理论的范式，星系嵌入在巨大的暗物质晕中。为了绘制这些暗晕的地图，我们可以根据观测到的恒星和气体的运动学构建动力学模型。在这个项目中，我们将使用新的 WEAVE-Apertif 巡天的数据，该巡天结合了来自 WEAVE 摄谱仪的光学积分场光谱学威廉·赫歇尔望远镜（西班牙拉帕尔马）和韦斯特博克射电合成望远镜（荷兰德温格洛）上的阿佩蒂夫无线电数据。学生将适应和扩展当前的建模技术，以考虑恒星和冷气体运动学。学生还将加入 WEAVE-Apertif 科学团队，并将有机会获得早期科学观测。SUPA 课程：高级天文学数据分析 (SUPAAAA)、SUPA 观测课程 (SUPAOBS)。本地课程：审核河外天文学 CAPOD 课程：评估和学术不端行为：简介（跨院系）、辅导和演示：简介（跨院系）、PGR 入门、PGR要点，研究数据：如何有效地存储和管理它们，为成功而井井有条，管理您的研究并与您的主管有效地合作
