Areas of Interest: nearby galaxies, Gas Kinematics, Stellar Feedback, Multiwavelength Spectroscopic Observations

Rebecca joined Steward Observatory in October 2021 as a NSF Fellow. Her research focuses on using multiwavelength tracers of gas in galaxies to probe the effects of stellar feedback. At Steward, she'll focus on two prototypical starburst galaxies, NGC253 and M82, both of which harbor a population of "super" star clusters at their centers and are launching massive multiphase outflows. She's studying the gas and dust in the clusters and outflows using a combination of ALMA, SOFIA, JWST, and other spectroscopic data. She's also interested in kinematic measurements of extraplanar diffuse ionized gas in nearby galaxies, particularly in the EDGE-CALIFA Survey.
