> PhD project: A search for the lowest mass galaxies
>
>A graduate studentship (AIO) is available at the Kapteyn Institute for a PhD
>project to study very small galaxies in the local Universe. The project is
>under the supervision of Prof. J. van der Hulst (Groningen), Dr T. Oosterloo
>(Dwingeloo), Dr R. Braun (Dwingeloo), Prof. F. Briggs (Groningen) and Dr M.
>Zwaan (Melbourne).
>
>Large numbers of small proto-galactic gas clouds might survive to the present
>if the formation of galaxies is not fully complete. Information on how many
>of such clouds exist in the local Universe gives important constraints on
>models for the formation of structure and for galaxy formation. The main aim
>of the project is to search for such small objects and to investigate their
>individual and statistical properties in the context of models for galaxy
>formation. The project involves observations with the Westerbork Synthesis
>Radio Telescope and with the optical facilities at La Palma.
