Monitoring The M-Dwarf Host Stars Of Tess Exoplanet Candidates: Stellar Flares And Habitability, Ashley Lieber
Monitoring The M-Dwarf Host Stars Of Tess Exoplanet Candidates: Stellar Flares And Habitability, Ashley Lieber
Physics Undergraduate Honors Theses
In the search for life beyond our solar system, the study of M-dwarfs has become increasingly important due to their unique characteristics including their small size, flaring capabilities, and long lifespans. Their small size allows for exoplanet detection due to observable gravitational interactions, and the stellar flares could potentially trigger prebiotic life on exoplanets in the system. Lastly, their long lifespans may provide the conditions necessary to foster prebiotic life and the development of more complex organisms over time. Flare rate is a critical factor in determining the habitability of the exoplanet due to its potential to damage or incubate …
Leveraging Domain Knowledge In Deep Learning Systems, Colin Van Oort
Leveraging Domain Knowledge In Deep Learning Systems, Colin Van Oort
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
Machine learning, and the sub-field of deep learning in particular, has experienced an explosion in research interest and practical applications over the past few decades. Deep learning approaches seem to have become the preferred approach in many domains, outpacing the use of more traditional machine learning methods. This transitionhas also coincided with a shift away from feature engineering based on domain knowledge. Instead, the common deep learning philosophy is to learn relevant features through the combination of expressive models and large datasets. Some have interpreted this paradigm shift as the death of domain knowledge. I argue that domain knowledge is …
Experimental Investigation Of Plasma Dynamics In Jets And Bubbles Using A Compact Coaxial Plasma Gun In A Background Magnetized Plasma, Yue Zhang
Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs
Numerous solar and astrophysical observations of jet- and bubble-like plasma structures exhibit morphological similarities, suggesting that there may be common plasma physics at work in the formation and evolution processes of these structures at different system scales. The ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) provide the necessary theoretical basis for employing laboratory experiments to investigate key physical processes in nonlinear astrophysical and solar systems, especially when magnetic fields are present.
A coaxial magnetized plasma gun has been designed, installed, and operated in the HelCat linear device at the University of New Mexico. In Region I, a current-driven plasma jet is formed. The plasma …
