Evert Gerardus Patrick Bos's website

I am Patrick Bos, PhD student at the Kapteyn Astronomical Institute in Groningen, The Netherlands. My main research topics are in the field of clusters of galaxies and (observational and theoretical) cosmology. This website is under construction. Until it is finished, please help yourself to one of these:

Astronomy MSc thesis (2009-2010)

Report on my Master's research project about probing different models of (dynamical) Dark Energy using the shapes of voids as detected by the Watershed Void Finder.

Philosophy of Astronomy BA thesis (2008-2009)

For my Bachelor in Philosophy of Astronomy, I made a systematic overview of the discussion on redefining Pluto as a dwarf planet, in the context of philosophical theory on definitions and concept explication.

Astronomy BSc thesis (2007-2008)

During my Astronomy Bachelor I studied dwarf galaxies in the Virgo Cluster using HST/ACS images; this was simultaneously a test case in analysing data using the Virtual Observatory.
