Hello and Welcome!
I am an astrophysicist, currently working as a post doctoral researcher at Stockholm University.
I have mostly studied Lyman alpha line radiation from Hydrogen in the hope of being able to use it as a tool for
exploring neutral gas around galaxies and even the Epoch of Reionization
Projects
LARS
The Lyman Alpha Reference Sample (LARS) is a long running project aimed at studying Lyα at low redshifts to provide a reference atlas for details about Lyα emission. The observations for the project span many wavelengths between the Lyα to radio 21 cm.
Lyα Halos
We are studying Lyα halos of a sample of 7 low redshift galaxies with the aim of comparing them to high-redshift samples and understanding the production of extended Lyα emission.
Papers
Spectral Shapes of the Lyα Emission from Galaxies. I. Blueshifted Emission and Intrinsic Invariance with Redshift
Hayes, Runnholm, Gronke, Scarlata; ApJ 2021
We demonstrate the redshift evolution of the spectral profile of H I Lyα emission from star-forming galaxies focusing especially on blue emission. We use the LASD and stacking analysis to show that the contribution of blue emission from Lyα decreases with redshift in a manner that is consistent with the evolution of the transmission of the intergalactic medium
The Lyman Alpha Spectral Database (LASD)
Runnholm, Gronke, Hayes 2021
We present an online database for Lyman Alpha spectra where users can upload and retrieve spectra as well as get many automatically and homogenously measured quantities from the spectra.
The site is available 
The Lyman Alpha Reference Sample. X. Predicting Lyα Output from Star-forming Galaxies Using Multivariate Regression
Runnholm et al. 2020
We use multivariate regression techniques to tease out the information in many scattered Lyman Alpha correlations and create a predictive model that can explain more than 90% of the variability in our Lyman Alpha observations.
