Understanding Type Ia Supernova Diversity with PHOENIX
(2022)
Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) are important astrophysical objects. They produce
roughly half of the iron group elements found in the universe, the energy they
release drives the evolution of galaxies, and their high ...
Evolution and Stability of Ultra-Wide Trans-Neptunian Binaries
(2023-08-04)
This research is focused around the longevity and formation of a class of binaries in the Kuiper Belt called Ultra-Wide Trans-Neptunian Binaries (Ultra-Wide TNBs). The presence of these seemingly fragile binary systems ...
Quantifying the Physics and Energetics of Iron Low-Ionization Broad Absorption-Line Quasar Outflows
(2022)
Quasars are among the most luminous and massive objects in the universe. They host an actively accreting supermassive black hole (SMBH) at their centre that can power energetic phenomena that outshine the host galaxy. A ...
An Ultraviolet Survey of the DA White Dwarf Population of the Galaxy
(2023-08-04)
DA white dwarfs are the most common type of white dwarf in our Galaxy. Hence, it is important to study the DA white dwarf population as thoroughly as possible. In this dissertation, I present our work using the Galaxy ...
