Astronomy was a culturally prominent practice during the nineteenth century in Britain. In this thesis I examine the development of astronomy in one area, Wales. Astronomy became an important subject in the lecturing industry that emerged during the century as lecturers promoted astronomical...

Neutron stars provide the key to understanding the equation of state at the highest pressure and density. Constraining the mass-radius relation of neu- tron stars will provide opportunities to test the currently conflicting candidates for the equation of state. Next generation instruments, such...

Interactions between stars are crucial for diverse areas of astrophysics, but they are not yet fully understood. These interactions come in forms as diverse as a direct physical collision, matter transfer from one star to another, and a "common envelope" (CE). The CE phase is a short period of...

Connecting galactic to local scales in the neutral interstellar medium across the Local Group
DownloadFall 2020
Star formation drives secular galaxy evolution by linking stars and gas in galaxies. This link forms part of the "baryonic cycle," where stars form from interstellar gas, and a portion of that gas is returned to the interstellar medium upon the star’s death. Understanding the baryonic cycle and...

We investigate the production of fast ejecta from the contact interface in coalescing binary neutron stars. This ejecta expands rapidly enough (velocities > 0.6c) that the r-process freezes out, generating an ultraviolet precursor to the kilonova powered by the decay of free neutrons. Previous...

Influence of Venturi Tube Geometry and Particle Properties on the Hydrodynamic Cavitation for Fine Particle Flotation
DownloadFall 2017
In this study, the influences of both Venturi tube geometry and particle properties on the hydrodynamic cavitation are investigated. In the geometry study, we investigated numerically and experimentally the influence of several geometrical parameters on the cavitation inception and bubble...
