Henrik Hartman

Henrik Hartman is an Associate Professor/Senior Lecturer at Malmö University, Faculty of Technology and Society, Department of Materials Science and Applied Mathematics. His research focuses on atomic physics and astrophysics, with particular expertise in spectroscopy of astronomical objects.

Dr. Hartman's research interests include:

• Atomic structure and spectroscopy of free atoms
• Spectroscopy of astronomical objects, particularly emission lines and infrared spectroscopy of stars
• Laboratory measurements to interpret astronomical spectra
• The emerging field of kilonovae (ejecta from merging neutron stars)
• Infrared atomic data for astrophysical applications

His work involves experimental research conducted at the Edlén laboratory and at the national facility DESIREE. Dr. Hartman has presented his research at various international workshops including "The Radiative Transfer and Atomic Physics of Kilonovae" (2023), ASOS international workshop on Atomic Spectra and Oscillator strengths (2023), COMPAS 2023, and workshops on kilonova research in Bad Honnef (2022).

His recent scientific presentations include:

• "Experimental infrared radiative atomic data for kilonova spectroscopy" (2023)
• "Experimental Metastable Lifetimes at DESIREE Storage Ring - First Stop: Barium" (2023)
• "Laboratory Infrared Atomic Spectroscopy for Astrophysics" (2023)
• "Experimental atomic radiative data for kilonova spectroscopy" (2022)

Dr. Hartman has delivered performance lectures such as "Spectacular Spectra from Space" at Bastionen, demonstrating his commitment to science communication and public engagement.
