Upton, Lisa A (2014-03-27)Department: PhysicsCharacterization and modeling magnetic flux transport within the surface layers of the Sun are vital to explaining the 11 year sunspot cycle. I have characterized the differential rotation (DR) and meridional flow (MF) ...

Sissom, Daniel Jason (2015-03-26)Department: PhysicsWe study the structure and evolution of dark matter halos from z = 300 to z = 6 for two cosmological N-body simulation initialization techniques. While the second-order Lagrangian perturbation theory (2LPT) and the ...

Bastien, Fabienne Anne (2014-04-10)Department: PhysicsBecause most extrasolar planets are detected indirectly via their influence on their host star, processes occurring on the surfaces of these stars are a significant impediment to planet detection: photometric “noise” and ...

Gomez Maqueo Chew, Yilen (2010-08-05)Department: PhysicsThis thesis presents the analysis of two double-lined, detached, eclipsing binary systems associated with the young Orion Nebula Cluster, 2MASS J05352184–0546085 and Parenago 1802. We present a multi-band, multi-epoch ...

Chynoweth, Katie Mae (2010-03-25)Department: PhysicsThis thesis addresses the origin of the High Velocity Clouds (HVCs) observed around the Milky Way and other nearby galaxies. Such clouds are likely created through a combination of galactic fountains, galaxy interactions, ...

Rodriguez, Joseph Enrique, Jr. (2016-03-29)Department: PhysicsThe circumstellar environments of young stellar objects (YSOs) involve complex dynamical interactions between dust and gas that directly influence the formation of planets. However, our understanding of the evolution from ...

Monsue, Teresa Antoinette (2018-11-27)Department: PhysicsActive regions on the Sun are abundant with a variety of waves that are both acoustically helioseismic and magnetohydrodynamic in nature. The occurrence of a solar flare can disrupt these waves, by excitation of these waves ...

Dhital, Saurav (2012-03-31)Department: PhysicsI identified and used a large catalog of ultra-wide binaries to investigate observationally two related questions in low-mass star astrophysics: (1) What is the frequency and distribution of ultra-wide binary systems, and ...

Lund, Michael Bryant (2017-03-27)Department: PhysicsAs astronomy expands into the era of Big Data, with increased data capture and storage capabilities and enhanced computing power, the large data sets that will become accessible need to be properly understood to maximize ...
