Various Topics in Type Ia Supernovae
(2019-05-11)
This work takes two approaches to increasing our understanding of type Ia supernovae. The first part uses observations to study their spectral evolution and diversity. The second part uses modeling to investigate a potential ...
BARYON CONTENT TO THE OUTSKIRTS OF LOW-TEMPERATURE POOR GALAXY GROUPS
(2019-12-05)
Little is known concerning the overall properties of galaxy groups, especially at large radii. A better understanding of them will constrain numerical simulations regarding their formation and evolution, as well as reveal ...
The Early Instability Scenario for Planet Formation in the Solar System
(2019-05-10)
The leading evolutionary model for the outer solar system, an orbital instability between the solar system’s giant planets, has been shown to greatly disturb the orbits of the young terrestrial planets. Undesirable outcomes ...
A High Cadence Study of Stellar Variability: Searching for Habitable Planetary Companions Orbiting White Dwarfs with the DECam Minute Cadence Survey
(2019-07)
One outstanding question in astronomy is what happens to planetary systems as their host star evolves. Though indirect evidence such as metal polluted white dwarf atmospheres and debris disks around white dwarfs, and recent ...
