Description of the research topic:
During the birth of young planetary systems, collisions between planetesimals produce dust particles, leading to the formation of a debris dust disk. Traditionally, these disks were considered to be gas poor, but recent results, including research at the Konkoly Observatory of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, demonstrated the presence of observable amount of gas in some of these disks. The PhD student will participate in the reduction, analysis and modeling of our millimeter wave observations of gas in debris disks, obtained with the Atacama Large (Sub)Millimetre Array (ALMA), as well as contribute to the preparation of new ALMA proposals. She/he will also work on finding and studying debris systems where recent giant collisions has produced a large amount of transient dust. The warm dust will be characterized mainly via infrared observations and radiative transfer modeling.
Required language skills: excellent enlgish Further requirements: good knowledge of the physics of star formation, experience with photometric data processing and astronomical databases
