    • The structure of MgII absorption systems from spectra of gravitationally lensed quasars 
      Maureira Pinochet, María José (Universidad de Chile, 2012)
      In this thesis I present a search for MgII absorption systems in the resolved spectra of 10 high redshifts gravitationally lensed quasars. The goal of the thesis is to study the spatial structure of MgII systems. The quasars ...
    • Unveiling the role of galactic rotation on star formation 
      Utreras Contreras, José; Becerra, Fernando; Escala Astorquiza, Andrés (The American Astronomical Society, 2016-11-10)
      We study the star formation process at galactic scales and the role of rotation through numerical simulations of spiral and starburst galaxies using the adaptive mesh refinement code Enzo. We focus on the study of three ...
    • Vales. VII. Molecular and ionized gas properties in the pressure balanced interstellar medium of starburst ... 
      Molina, Juan; Ibar, Edo; Godoy, Nicolás; Escala Astorquiza, Andrés; Michiyama, Tomonari; Cheng, Cheng; Hughes, Thomas M.; Baes, Maarten; Xue, Yongquan; Michalowski, Michal J.; Van der Werf, Paul; Jiang, Xue-Jian (EDP Sciences, 2020)
      Context. Spatially resolved observations of the ionized and molecular gas are critical for understanding the physical processes that govern the interstellar medium (ISM) in galaxies. The observation of starburst systems ...
    • When gas dynamics decouples from galactic rotation: characterizing ism circulation in disk galaxies 
      Utreras, José; Blanc, Guillermo; Escala Astorquiza, Andrés; Meidt, Sharon; Emsellem, Eric; Bigiel, Frank; Glover, Simon C.O.; Henshaw, Jonathan; Hygate, Alex; Diederik Kruijssen, J. M.; Rosolowsky, Erik; Schinnerer, Eva; Schruba, Andreas (IOP Publishing, 2020)
      In galactic disks, galactic rotation sets the bulk motion of gas, and its energy and momentum can be transferred toward small scales. Additionally, in the interstellar medium, random and noncircular motions arise from ...
