Understanding the formation of massive stars is central to wide range of astrophysics, from the star formation history of the Universe to the physical and chemical evolution of galaxies and the origin of black holes, pulsars and gamma ray bursts. ALMAGAL is an ALMA Large Programme to observe 1000 young, high mass regions to study the formation and evolution of high mass stars and their associated stellar clusters. This PhD project will involve the analysis of the ALMAGAL observations to study the properties of the sources detected, the dynamics of the regions and their environments, and the evolutionary status of the protostars.ALMAGAL is large international collaboration and there may be opportunities to spend time working at some of the partner institutions. There will also be opportunities to take part in, and potentially, lead follow-up observations of the sources studied with ALMAGAL. The results of the analysis of the ALMAGAL observations will be compared with numerical simulations of massive star formation to help constrain the initial conditions required to form the most massive stars.

从宇宙的恒星形成历史到星系的物理和化学演化以及黑洞，脉冲星和伽玛射线爆发的起源，了解大型恒星的形成至关重要。 Almagal是一个Alma大型计划，可观察1000个年轻的高质量区域，以研究高质量恒星及其相关恒星簇的形成和演变。该博士学位项目将涉及对almagal观察的分析，以研究检测到的来源的特性，区域及其环境的动态以及Protostar的进化状况。Almagal是大型国际合作，并且可能有机会花费时间在某些合作伙伴机构中工作。还将有机会参与与Almagal一起研究的来源的领导后续观察。将almagal观测值分析的结果与巨大恒星形成的数值模拟进行比较，以帮助限制形成最大恒星所需的初始条件。
