During the course of my Honors Research Project, I worked with Dr. David James to determine whether a group of target stars are members of the Local Association. I did this by reducing spectroscopic data, taken by Dr. ...

We use projected number density profiles of galaxy groups to investigate the relationship between galaxy group structure and dark matter structure within halos. We primarily study a specific model of how galaxies populate ...

Massive black hole binaries (MBHB) produce gravitational waves (GW) that will be detectable with pulsar timing arrays within the next few years. We determine the properties of the host galaxies of MBHB at the time they are ...
