Search for gamma-ray emission from bow shocks of runaway stars
… created by the supersonic movement of individual stars through the interstellar medium, offers a unique possibility to determine the physical properties of shocks in a less complex environment. The shocked medium is heated by the stellar and the shock excited radiation, leading to thermal infrared …

Multi-dimensional simulations of bow shocks of massive, high-velocity runaway stars
… supersonic collision of stellar winds ejected by runaway stars and the interstellar medium (ISM). Studying their properties provides constraints on mass-loss rates, stellar wind velocities and the properties of the ISM. In this work, we study the formation of bow shocks from stars at the tail end …

The distributions of stellar remnants in disk galaxies
… It consists of 3 parts, the identification of runaway stars in galaxies and then the modelling of the expected distribution of these stars around a galaxy and their expected dispersion over time. The first part of the thesis is a thorough survey of supernovae in the Asiago database and …

Fast Stars in the Milky Way
I present a comprehensive investigation of fast stars in the Milky Way, from brisk disc stars to stars escaping the Galaxy. My thesis is that fast stars are the smoking guns of extreme stellar collisions and explosions, and so can act as an intermediary to studying these theoretically-unconquered …
