    Simulating Hubble XDF observations for the next generation of space telescopes 
    Hellmich, Martin (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2019)
    This research created spatially resolved exposure simulations for 4457 galaxies in the eXtreme Deep Field for CASTOR and WFIRST and Euclid bandwidths. This next generation of space based observatories will improve on Hubble ...

    Spectro-photometric analysis of galaxy merger remnants with tidal features 
    Leste, Ophelie Karishma (Saint Mary's University (Halifax, N.S.), 2021)
    We use 21 208 galaxies at redshifts 0.05 < z < 0.45 with images from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP) and accompanying spectroscopic observations from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to study ...

    Spectroscopic analysis of stars in the outskirts of NGC 1851 
    Surdha, Tashveena Rani (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021)
    NGC 1851 is a peculiar globular cluster with hints of a bimodal populations of stars (possibly two different episodes of formation of stars that resulted in a small spread in the metallicity in the centre of the cluster). ...

    Using x-ray colour-colour diagrams to study AGN variability 
    Pottie, Benjamin (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2022-05-06)
    Identifying X-ray variability in active galactic nuclei (AGN) has been a longstanding issue due to spectral model degeneracies. It often occurs on timescales too short to employ regular spectral analysis, but colour-colour ...

    An X-ray timing analysis of narrow-line and broad-line Seyfert 1 galaxies with Suzaku 
    Hollett, Angelo R. (Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2021)
    The Suzaku X-ray satellite has been decommissioned since 2015, leaving us with a known catalogue of observed active galactic nuclei (AGN). This work provides a timing analysis of all broad-line and narrow-line Seyfert 1 ...
