Journey to the Center of GW170817: Bayesian parameter estimation of outflows from binary neutron star mergers

Creator:

Rodriguez, Isabel J.

Abstract:

The discovery of GW170817 provided the first empirical evidence that merging binary neutron star systems are both progenitors of short gamma-ray bursts, as well as the primary sites of the nucleosynthetic rapid-neutron capture process. Initially detected as gravitational wave (GW) and gamma-ray burst (GRB) triggers, GW170817 was well-localized and follow-up...

E+A galaxy and spiral E+A galaxy candidates in the Hercules supercluster

Creator:

Williams, Rosemary H.

Abstract:

E+A galaxies represent an important niche in galaxy evolution as a subset of post-starburst galaxies. Set apart from other post-starburst galaxies by their rapid quenching of star formation, E+As are thought to have started their formation outside a galaxy cluster's center and have fallen inward due to gravity; the star...

SpaceLab, an N-Body Particle-Particle Ballistic Collision Simulation Tool with Applications in Celestial Body Dynamics

Creator:

Guidos, Job

Abstract:

This thesis conveys the key technical features and scientific applications of a particle-particle ballistic simulation tool (SpaceLab) as well as a high level overview of experiments it was designed for and executed on. SpaceLab simulates spherical particle interactions under any combination of self-gravity, sliding friction, rolling friction, Van-Der-Waals (VDW) cohesion...
