Personal profile

Research interests

I am an astronomer with a research focus on star formation. I use multiwavelength observations (from X-ray, to optical, to radio) to investigate nearby star-forming regions and the young stellar objects (YSOs) that reside therein.

https://star.herts.ac.uk/~kuhn/

Several highlights include:
• Demonstrating that most clusters of young stars are expanding and gravitationally unbound (Kuhn et al. 2019, ApJ, 870, 32)
• Compilation of the Spitzer/IRAC Candidate YSO (SPICY) catalog, one of the largest catalogs of disk-bearing young stars (Kuhn et al. 2021, ApJS, 254, 33)
• Discovery that a segment of the nearest Milky Way spiral arm (visible to the unaided eye at night) is not where it was expected to be, and instead forms a spur extending out of the arm (Kuhn et al. 2021, A&A Letters, 651, 10)

Publications via NASA ADS

I am actively engaged in astrostatistics, and since 2019, I've been a member of the Cosmostatistics-Initiative (COIN).
