Exploring the Local Association : a nearby, young kinematic stream of stars in the solar neighborhood
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, 2008)
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. ...
Blazar Microvariations
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2009-04-20)
In November 2006, the authors collected data on blazars PKS 0537-441, PKS
0447-439, and PKS 0208-5121 from the Cerra Tololo Inter-American Observatory in
Chile. All three blazars are tested for microvariability, first ...
Measuring Radial Velocities of Low Mass Eclipsing Binaries
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04)
Due to the complex nature of the spectra of low-mass M type stars, it
is difficult to determine their metallicities and temperatures
directly. By studying eclipsing binary pairs comprising one F, G, or
K type star with ...
The distribution of ejected stars around a super massive black hole binary due to three-body scattering
