(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2012)Evidence is presented implying that the classical Cepheid VI[subscript c] period-Wesenheit function is relatively insensitive to metallicity. The results indicate that variations in chemical composition among Cepheids are ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)Studying the evolution of galaxies is important in understanding many other astrophysical phenomenon. However, this process required numerical work due to long timescales over which evolution occurs. To study the effects ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2017)The field of high-energy AGN astrophysics is about to be transformed as data of unprecedented quality and quantity will be arriving from the next-generation of X-ray observatories. With the advancement of technology, we ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2015)The Nuclear Science References (NSR) is a carefully curated bibliographic dataset focused on nuclear science literature. A domain-specific search engine and supporting tools have been developed to aid and encourage the ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2013)This work presents a deep analysis of HE 0436-4717: a “bare” Seyfert 1 galaxy with strong variability and moderate soft excess. Data included a 200 ks observation with XMM-Newton EPIC instruments, a Swift BAT detection up ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2011)The XMM-Newton Observatory has conducted many observations of the type I active galactic nucleus 1H0707-495. The 0.7 deg [superscript 2] field of view around the AGN was observed over the course of ∼10 years with a total ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2012)In many nuclear and particle physics experiments, it is necessary to ascertain precise information about a particle's trajectory, or its position at specific locations (as a means for then determining angle or momentum). ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2022-10-20)Exotic features like the halo and the (dis)appearance of the magic numbers were revealed by investigating the nuclei towards the neutron-rich region that have a large neutron/proton asymmetry. Investigating the evolution ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 1998)Observational evidence and theoretical arguments indicate that most of the universe is made of dark matter. Supersymmetry, an extension of the standard model of particle interactions, provides a natural candidate for dark ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2013)The ISAC charged particle reaction spectroscopy station (IRIS), a new experimental facility at TRIUMF, is developed to study light and heavy proton- and neutron-rich nuclei. Due to the production processes of these nuclei, ...
-
(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, 2007)It is well established that the broadband colors of elliptical galaxies become redder near their centres, which provides an important constraint on models of elliptical galaxy formation. The observed radial color gradients ...
-
(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, 2012)The spectrum of the rapidly rotating star [alpha] Oph was modeled to examine the effect differential rotation has on its observed SED. Rotating stellar structure models were generated using the code ROTORC and constrained ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2007)Models have been produced to study the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and absorption lines for rapidly rotating B stars. A fully implicit 2D stellar structure and evolution code was used to generate the rotating ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2007)This thesis investigates the effects of stellar rotation on the HR diagram location of members within young clusters. The rotational effects on luminosity and temperature of a star depend on the viewing angle and the ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 1993)Existing calibrations of white dwarf luminosities have invariably relied upon the inhomogeneous sample of refractor parallaxes published in the General Catalogue of Trigonometric Parallaxes. We have completed a new calibration ...
-
(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, 2020)The study of galaxy morphology can provide important information about how galaxies evolve. In this thesis, we study size and concentration of light profiles for ∼15000 star-forming galaxies (SFGs, M∗
