Synthetic HI Line Observations of Simulated Galaxies using Simba-C and MARTINI

Project Description:

This project aims to use the large-scale cosmological Simba-C simulation and the Mock Array Radio Telescope Interferometry of the Neutral ISM (MARTINI) Python package to generate synthetic HI observations of galaxies. This will enable analysis of the simulated neutral atomic Hydrogen (HI) gas distribution and kinematics, advancing our understanding of star formation, galactic evolution, the interplay between gas dynamics and feedback mechanisms, as well as the galactic environment.
