  • Searching for Pulsars for Use in Gravitational Wave Detection

    Creator:
    Connolly, Genevieve J.
    Abstract:
    Gravitational waves (GWs) are disturbances in spacetime that can be caused by events such as black hole mergers and supernovae, as well as continuous sources such as binary star systems. GWs offer a new avenue of astrophysical research and can reveal information about the early universe. GW detection can be...

  • Analysis of Radio Signals for New Pulsar Detection

    Creator:
    Downing, Jaden
    Abstract:
    The North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) times periodic signals from pulsars as a method of detecting gravitational waves. NANOGrav detects waves emitted in the nanohertz frequency range, a range lower than those previously explored by other organizations. This allows for the study of rarely observed sources such...

  • Radiative Acceleration and Emission from Relativistic Outflows

    Creator:
    Chhotray, Atul
    Abstract:
    Outflowing streams of matter or jets are a common phenomenon in the observeduniverse. The most extreme and powerful jets are relativistic, i.e., they travel at speedscomparable to the of speed light. Gamma Ray-Bursts (GRBs) and Active Galactic Nuclei(AGNs) are two sources of these relativistic jets. In this work I will...

  • Locating and Observing Pulsars for Use in Gravitational Wave Detection

    Creator:
    Díaz, Ian H.
    Abstract:
    By studying gravitational waves, we can gain new insights into the merging events between massive objects such as black holes as well as neutron stars. Moreover, studying low-frequency waves allows us to observe merging events between supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies, which in turn allows us to...

  • Total Kinetic Energy Release in the Fast Neutron Induced Fission of 237Np

    Creator:
    Pica, Ashley
    Abstract:
    The total kinetic energy (TKE) in the fast neutron induced fission of 237Np was measured for neutron energies from En = 2.6 – 45.7 MeV at the LANSCE- WNR facility. The postTKE release decreases non-linearly with increasing incident neutron energy and can be represented as TKE(MeV) = (169.365 ± 1.551)...
