Assistant Professor of Astrophysics Chris Richardson has authored a peer-reviewed paper for the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society journal.
Chris Richardson, assistant professor of astrophysics, has published an article with colleagues at UNC-Chapel Hill and Vanderbilt University pertaining to simulations of starburst galaxies titled “Addressing the [O III]/Hβ offset of dwarf galaxies in the RESOLVE survey”.
This work provides a solution to a persistent problem in reproducing the light emitted from extreme star forming galaxies with low mass in the local universe. The paper was made possible by using supercomputing time on the San Diego Supercomputing Cluster known as Comet, which is allocated through a competitive peer-reviewed process via the NSF funded XSEDE portal.
The peer-reviewed Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society journal ranks second in Astrophysics and Astronomy according to Google metrics.
