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...

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...

Corrugation Instabilities Across Shock Fronts in Magnetohydrodynamical Astrophysical Systems

Creator:

Mullins, Austin Charles

Abstract:

Slow magnetosonic shock fronts are unstable to changes made to their shape, a phenomenon known as corrugation instability. The computational models studied considers a system where plasma travels across a shock front. Using the code Linogen, the corrugation instability of a shock front can be theoretically modeled. The results show...
