Published Paper: The local dark matter density
I’m excited to share my latest research on one of astronomy’s biggest mysteries: dark matter. Using data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia telescope, we inferred how much dark matter exists in our local neighborhood of the galaxy. Dark matter makes up about 85% of all matter in the universe, but it’s invisible and can…

Published Paper: New 3D Maps of Hydrogen in the Milky Way
I am the first author of a paper, in which we reconstruct 3D maps of interstellar Hydrogen (atomic Hydrogen via the 21 cm emission line and molecular Hydrogen traced via line-emission of CO), the interstellar velocity field, and the line-widths of the respective emission lines. Here, you can find supplementary material, including interactive 3D renderings…

Published Paper: The Impact of 3D Galactic Gas on Cosmic-Ray Transport
I co-author a paper that examines the influence of using a three-dimensional map of Galactic gas on the propagation and resulting distribution of cosmic rays (that are highly energetic charged particles travelling through our Galaxy). These results are a product of our GaGaDiCT-collaboration. Title: The influence of the 3D Galactic gas structure on cosmic-ray transport…
