    Aperture synthesis arrays are commonly used in radio astronomy to take images of radio point sources, with the planned Square Kilometre Array (SKA) being the most common example. One approach to enhancing the quality of ...

  • Majaess, Daniel J.; Dékány, I.; Hadju, G.; Minniti, D.; Turner, David B.; Gieren, W. (Springer Netherlands, 2018-05-22)

    This study’s objective was to exploit infrared VVV (VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea) photometry for high latitude RRab stars to establish an accurate Galactic Centre distance. RRab candidates were discovered ...


  • MacFarland, Shannon Holly (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2024-08-08)
    We perform spatially resolved pixel-by-pixel Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) fitting on 166 disky star-forming galaxies between 0.7 < z < 3. Due to the incredible spatial resolution of the Near Infrared Camera on board ...

  • Harwood, Harley Keith (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2024-08-07)
    The study explored the use of self presentation behaviours (i.e., deceptive, and honest impression management; IM) in asynchronous video interviews (AVIs). Applicants use of IM in interviews has the potential to enhance ...

  • Awalt, Jon Kyle; Scammels, Peter J.; Singer, Robert D. (American Chemical Society, 2018-08)
    A mechanochemical approach has been demonstrated for the selective cleavage of nitrogen–carbon bonds in the N-demethylation of various alkaloids relevant in the pharmaceutical industry. This methodology ...

  • Digdon, Leslie (Baker) (Department of History at the University of New Brunswick, 2018-06)
    In April 2018, actor Rob Lowe appeared on the American talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote his most recent movie. In the segment he adlibbed about the Halifax Explosion and explained that he had convinced the movie's ...

  • Minniti, Dante; Dékány, Istvan; Majaess, Daniel J.; Palma, Tali; Pullen, Joyce; Rejkuba, Marina; Alonso-García, Javier; Catelan, Marcio; Contreras Ramos, Rodrigo; Gonzales, Oscar A. (The American Astronomical Society, 2017-04)
    Deep near-IR images from the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) Survey were used to search for RR Lyrae stars in the Southern Galactic plane. A sizable sample of 404 RR Lyrae of type ab stars was identified across a ...

  • Ibata, Rodrigo A.; McConnachie, Alan; Cuillandre, Jean-Charles; Fantin, Nicholas; Haywood, Misha; Martin, Nicholas F.; Bergeron, Pierre; Beckmann, Volker; Bernard, Edouard; Sawicki, Marcin (The American Astronomical Society, 2017-03)
    We present the chemical distribution of the Milky Way, based on 2900 of u-band photometry taken as part of the Canada-France Imaging Survey. When complete, this survey will cover 10,000 of the northern sky. By combing the ...

  • Webb, Samantha G.M. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2024-08-26)
    Victim impact statements (VIS) allow victims to express how a crime has affected them physically, psychologically, and financially. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many sentencing trials were moved online. This study examined ...

  • Carraro, Giovanni; Turner, David G.; Majaess, Daniel J.; Baume, Gustavo L.; Gamen, Roberto; Lera, José A. Molina (The American Astronomical Society, 2017-04)

    Photometric CCD UB VIC photometry obtained for 4860 stars surrounding the embedded southern cluster SAI 113 (Skiff 8) is used to examine the reddening in the field and derive the distance to the ...


  • Minniti, Dante; Palma, Tali; Dékány, Istvan; Hempel, Marin; Rekjuba, Marina; Pullen, Joyce; Alonso-García, Javier; Barbá, Rodolfo; Barbuy, Beatriz; Majaess, Daniel J. (The American Astronomical Society, 2017-03-20)

    We use deep multi-epoch near-IR images of the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) Survey to search for RR Lyrae stars toward the Southern Galactic plane. Here, we report the discovery of a group of RR ...


  • Pottie, Benjamin Anthony (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2024-08-29)
    Studying transient events in active galactic nuclei (AGN) can provide useful information about the AGN environment. In this work, transient-like events in NGC 6814 and Zw 229.015 were studied. Colour-colour grids, which ...
