معرفی
Rubinur Khatun is a Research Fellow at the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, University of Oslo. Her research focuses on dual/binary active galactic nuclei (AGN), star-formation in galaxy mergers, and kilo-parsec structures in low-luminosity AGN. She holds a Ph.D. in Physics from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (2019) and an M.Sc. in Physics from St. Xavier's College, Kolkata (2013), where she received a Gold Medal for academic excellence.
Research Interests: Khatun’s work explores feedback mechanisms in galaxies, peculiar radio galaxies, and observational studies of galaxy mergers. She uses advanced techniques like adaptive-optics spectroscopy and multi-telescope observations (e.g., VLT/ERIS, uGMRT) to detect binary AGN systems and study their dynamics. Her recent work includes analyzing Fe K lines in binary AGN and UV emission signatures of AGN feedback.
- Key Contributions: Detection of binary AGN via Fe K lines, confirmation of lensed systems via near-IR spectroscopy, and studies of molecular gas in low-mass galaxies.
- Awards: Gold Medal for M.Sc., St. Xavier’s College (2013).
Research Groups: Cosmology and Extragalactic Astronomy, Nordic Radio and Millimeter Astronomy Network (NoRMA).
