(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2016)The halo nucleus [superscript 11]Li was explored through elastic and inelastic scattering off protons at the TRIUMF facility in Vancouver using the IRIS facility. IRIS pioneers in using thin windowless solid hydrogen target ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2023-04-17)The X-ray spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGN) contain many spectral features, such as emission lines, that provide much insight into the inner workings of these objects. In a class of AGN known as Narrow-Line Seyfert ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2014)The formation of plume structures has long been a consequence of fluid modelling of extragalactic radio jets. Simulations performed to date, which have been executed with and without reflective boundary conditions along ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2020)This thesis documents the development of an Event Display for use in the BigBite calorimeter in the Super BigBite (SBS) ecosystem of detectors in Jefferson Lab’s Hall A. The development of a functional Event Display also ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2013)Structure is found in the Universe on various scales ranging from galaxies to galaxy clusters, super clusters. . .This structure is believed to have formed in a bottom-up hierarchical way. Computational techniques allow ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2022-05-11)Current, state-of-the-art equilibrium mass models of globular clusters assume that all stars are single, making the effects of binary systems an unknown quantity. In this thesis we develop a method to include realistic ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2013)Epsilon Aurigae is a third magnitude, long-period binary that eclipses every 27.1 years and has been continuously observed for more than 160 years. The observed spectrum is that of an apparently normal F supergiant. The ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2017)Markarian 335, a Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxy, has been one the brightest X-ray sources in the sky until 2007 when its flux dropped to 1/10th of its previous value. Despite this dramatic decrease, Mrk 335 still remains one ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)ChromaStarPy is a stellar atmosphere and spectrum modeling code written in python designed to give good approximations of stellar spectra, whilst being easily accessible to students at a wide range of levels. We present ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2023-04-22)The dense environment in the cores of globular clusters enables three-body interactions involving a binary system and a single star to occur frequently, which can eject high-velocity stars from the cluster. The velocities ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021)The behavior of neutron and proton rich nuclei that lie far from the region of stability is a matter of great scientific interest. This is because not only do these nuclei play important roles in stellar nucleosynthesis ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2023-04-05)This study aims to investigate the heavy-ion particle identification in an experiment designed to determine the astrophysical rate of the 15O(α,γ)19Ne reaction.
The 15O(&a ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2015)Most stars are observed in multiple star systems, which are thought to result from the fragmentation of a protostellar cores as they collapse. This process has been studied extensively using numerical simulations but, to ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2015)A set of galaxies observed at high redshift were modelled to investigate the star formation history and other properties of these galaxies. By the gzK Selection Technique, twelve galaxies from the Canada-France-Hawaii ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2020)The multi-epoch data involving 27 observations of the blazar 3C273 obtained over a period of 16 years from June 2000 to June 2016 in the 0.3-10 keV x-ray band is analysed. A single power-law model is fitted to the hard ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021)Open-Path Fourier Transform InfraRed (OP-FTIR) spectroscopy is an established technique used to measure boundary layer trace gas concentrations, consisting of a spectrometer and a retroreflector separated by a measurement ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2013)Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) are one of the brightest sources of infrared radiation in the Universe, with luminosities upwards of 10 [superscript 12] times that of the Sun. To produce the extreme infrared ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary’s University, 2018)Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is applied to a variety of blazars to examine X-ray spectral variability. Data from nine different objects are analysed in two ways: long-term, which examines variability trends across ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021)Five jetted sources are used in this work to probe the relationship between the X-ray and Radio emission from radio-loud active galactic nuclei. Timing techniques probing variability, light curve correlation, and power ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021)Many environments in the universe give rise to conditions extreme enough to allow exotic forms of nuclear matter. Understanding how this matter interacts allows us to better understand the nuclear forces and astronomical ...
