Michael Dahlem's science pages
After my Master's thesis, which focused on the absorption of X-ray emission in Galactic neutral hydrogen gas, most of my research deals with gaseous halos of spiral galaxies.
I am particularly interested in finding out what level of star formation can lead to the creation of halos, i.e. initiate disk-halo interactions.
Many starburst galaxies are interacting systems, which led to a natural expansion of my interests into the field of the environment of galaxies and the gaseous medium in groups.
Some observations of starburst galaxies and their environments led to the detection of interesting variable sources.
For some time I also dabbled in the field of hot gas in poor clusters of galaxies.
