Artin L-functions associated to continuous representations of the absolute Galois group G_K of a global field K capture a lot of information about G_K as well as arithmetic properties of K.

Hot astrophysical plasma is ubiquitous in the Universe, from comets in our Solar system to the largest scale structures -- the cosmic web filaments. These hot plasmas, with the temperature of a few millions of degrees, are often observed in the X-ray wavelength range.

I have studied the hot, diffuse gas around and between galaxies. Specifically, I have used the EAGLE numerical simulations of galaxy formation to predict the properties of this gas, and I have used those properties to predict specific observables: soft X-ray absorption and emission lines.

Self-assembly is an abundant process in nature and is vital to many processes in living organisms.

This proposed research uses ego-documents from visual artists that were not intended for publication to reassess the scholarly debate on the demise of the Russian Avant-garde aesthetic in the twenties and early thirties of the 20th century.

For centuries astronomers studied the Universe by collecting light. Nowadays, we are living in times of great technological advancements, which allow us to explore our Universe in a new way - though gravitational wave radiation.

Mechanical metamaterials are man-made materials which derive their unusual properties from their structure rather than their composition.

Wetland plants are distinguished from plants of other terrestrial ecosystems by their adaptations to specific habitat stresses, including waterlogged and flooding and the subsequent abundance of phytotoxic compounds.

When observing star-forming galaxies, we are not only seeing stellar light, but we also see how this interacts with galactic gas and dust. This thesis contains studies of the stellar, nebular and dust properties of low mass star-forming galaxies.

Creating a framework to assess the sustainability of fish farms which will set sustainability standards and give consumers information about the the sustainability and safety of their seafood.

Optimization tasks in practice have multifaceted challenges as they are often black box, subject to multiple equality and inequality constraints and expensive to evaluate.

The radio sky harbours both galactic and extragalactic sources of arcminute- to degree-scale emission of various physical origins. To discover extragalactic diffuse emission in the Cosmic Web beyond galaxy clusters, one must image low–surface brightness structures amidst a sea of brighter compact fore-…

Real-life processes are characterized by dynamics involving time. Examples are walking, sleeping, disease progress in medical treatment, and events in a workflow.

Why do black holes emit thermal radiation? And how does a closed quantum system thermalize?

Circumstellar discs are the reservoirs of gas and dust that surround young stars and have the potential to become planetary systems.

The high velocity tail of the total velocity distribution of stars provides essential insight into fundamental properties of the Galaxy.

Op maandag 11 december gaf mensenrechtenactiviste Wai Wai Nu uit Myanmar een gastlezing ter gelegenheid van de Internationale Dag van de Rechten van de Mens.

Nadat een leeuw een van de kamelen van zijn familie had gedood, was de Keniaan Francis Lesilau te angstig om nog vee te kunnen hoeden. Zijn vader stuurde hem toen maar naar school. Nu reist hij als leeuwen­deskundige de wereld af. In Het Parool vertelt hij zijn levensverhaal.

Europa is in beweging. Maar migratie is van alle tijden, kijk maar naar grootschalige landverhuizingen uit afgelopen eeuwen. Als we nog verder teruggaan in de tijd, blijkt zelfs dat migraties uit een ver verleden ons hebben gemaakt tot wie we nu zijn. Dagblad Trouw interviewt archeologen David Fontijn,…

Working Group

The research group Politics, Culture and National Identities 1789-present investigates a wide range of national political cultures in Europe and the Americas in the 19th and 20th centuries. Instead of only analyzing high politics (the acts of governments and political parties), the research group focuses…

How to bring together different footprints into an integrated family and what are the synergies? What are the roles of inventory analysis and characterization in measuring individual footprints and how these affect a footprint family? How to benchmark environmental footprints against related planetary…

How and to what extent the historic house (re-)constructs identity through image-making in China.

Indigenous Latin American artifacts have attracted the interest of Europeans since the earliest moment of contact between Europeans and the Indigenous peoples of the Americas.
