Modeling Spiral Galaxy Surface Luminosity To Explain Non-Uniform Inclination Distributions, Jordan C. Rozum, Shane L. Larson Mar 2013

Modeling Spiral Galaxy Surface Luminosity To Explain Non-Uniform Inclination Distributions, Jordan C. Rozum, Shane L. Larson

Jordan Rozum

The distribution of spiral and bar galaxy inclination angles is expected to be uniform. However, analysis of several major galaxy catalogs shows this is not the case; galaxies oriented near edge-on are significantly more common in these catalogs. In an attempt to explain this discrepancy, we have developed a galaxy simulation code to compute the appearance of a spiral type galaxy as a function of its morphological parameters. We examine the dependence of observed brightness upon inclination angle by using smooth luminous mass density and ISM density distributions. The luminous component is integrated along a particular line of sight, thus …


Characterizing Sky Variability For Multi-Messenger Astronomy, Rachel K. Nydegger, Shane L. Larson Ph.D. Feb 2013

Characterizing Sky Variability For Multi-Messenger Astronomy, Rachel K. Nydegger, Shane L. Larson Ph.D.

Rachel Nydegger Rozum

Multi-messenger astronomy employs both electromagnetic and gravitational -wave detectors to paint a richer picture of celestial objects, providing more depth and information. The interferometers utilized for gravitational-wave observations receive input from very broad fields of view on the sky, typically a few square degrees. To have simultaneous electromagnetic observations (typically less than one square degree) requires innovative techniques for the telescopes to find the origin of radiation. One idea is to “tile” the view of the interferometer, using multiple telescopes to simultaneously point at different areas of the field to observe the source. One di"culty of this observing paradigm is …


Mapping Light Pollution At Utah State University, Rachel K. Nydegger, Shane L. Larson Ph.D. Jan 2013

Mapping Light Pollution At Utah State University, Rachel K. Nydegger, Shane L. Larson Ph.D.

Rachel Nydegger Rozum

One of the beauties of modern civilization is seeing the city lighting at night. It provides a feeling of security and is indicative of the power and endeavors of humanity, but over-lighting is a form of pollution. Many outdoor light fixtures spread light in all directions, sending a majority of the light into the sky, away from where we want the light to be on the ground. This light spreading upward is not only wasted light, but it is wasted energy and money, destroys our ability to view the night sky, and has profound effects on nocturnal creatures. The direct …

Relativistic Solution Of The N-Body Problem (Ii), Jorge A. Franco Oct 2012

Relativistic Solution Of The N-Body Problem (Ii), Jorge A. Franco

Jorge A Franco

This work is the continuation of the classical approach described in previous paper for constant masses. In here the solution of the movement of a group of N gravitationally attracting bodies around its center of mass CM, given their initial positions and velocities, is developed for variable masses under the Theory of Vectorial Relativity. The strategy of realizing special physical characteristics of forces on the the CM and properties of the reduced mass in the solution of the two-body problem, allowed extending the Newton’s Universal Gravitation Law for applying to two or more attracting bodies, and also allowed operating on …


N-Body Problem’S Global Solution I. Classical Approach, Jorge A. Franco Oct 2012

N-Body Problem’S Global Solution I. Classical Approach, Jorge A. Franco

Jorge A Franco

The prediction of the movement of a group of N gravitationally attracting bodies around its center of mass CM, given their initial positions and velocities, is what has been called the N-body problem, since Isaac Newton formulated it in his magnum work Phylosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, commonly known as his "Principia" published in 1667. So far it has only been fully resolved (Johan Bernoulli in 1710) the problem of two bodies from the classical view, using Newton's laws. For N>2 in some cases only approximate, or not general, solutions exist. In this work the strategy of realizing physical properties …

Unmasking The Mysteries Of High-Mass X-Ray Binaries (Hmxbs): The Role Of The Electron Beam Ion Trap (Ebit), Carey L. Baxter, Greg Brown, Natalie Hell

Carey L Baxter

The Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) uses a very narrow electron beam (~60μm) to excite and trap ions. X-ray emissions of the excited ions are then diffracted and analyzed. I studied specific spectral emission lines of ionized silicon. This data can be used as a point of reference for similar spectra measured by the satellite Chandra so that the Doppler shift due to wind around the accretion disks of High Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) can be calculated. HMXBs are pairs of stars that are luminous in X-rays. They are composed of a donor star that gives up mass to an …


Essentials Of The Theory Of Abstraction - Lecture, Subhajit Kumar Ganguly Jan 2012

Essentials Of The Theory Of Abstraction - Lecture, Subhajit Kumar Ganguly

Subhajit Kumar Ganguly

In not favouring solutions or sets of solutions, the principle of zero-postulation drives away any unwanted incompleteness from the description of the world. It is the interactions between the possible exhaustive set of solutions that creates the impression pointedness or directiveness in the universe, leading to the formation of clusters, as discussed earlier. These interactions may be chaotic in nature, giving rise to attractor points where the directiveness inside any given system asymptotically seem to approach. It is this directiveness, in turn, inside a given system or in the universe as a whole, that is the cause of all known …

Ozone Profile Observations In Houston, Texas (1994 - 2010) From Aircraft, Balloons, And Satellites, Gary A. Morris, Barry Lefer, Bernhard Rappenglueck, Christine Haman, Christopher Boxe, Scott Hersey, Valerie Thouret, Jean-Pierre Cammas, Bryan Johnson, Samuel Oltmans

Gary A. Morris

Houston, Texas has long been an urban area plagued with high levels of surface ozone, particularly in spring and late summer. The combination of a large commuter population and one of the largest concentrations of petrochemical plants in the world results in abundant and nearly co-located sources of NOx and hydrocarbons. The location of Houston on the South Coast of the United States in a subtropical climate results in meteorological conditions that favor ozone production. Using MOZAIC (1994 - 2004), ozonesonde (2000, 2004 - 2010), and TES (2005 – 2010) data, we examine the evolution of ozone profiles over Houston …


Condensation States And Landscaping With The Theory Of Abstraction, Subhajit Kumar Ganguly Jan 2011

Condensation States And Landscaping With The Theory Of Abstraction, Subhajit Kumar Ganguly

Subhajit Kumar Ganguly

The Abstraction theory is applied in landscaping. A collection of objects may be made to be vast or meager depending upon the scale of observations. This idea may be developed to unite the worlds of the great vastness of the universe and the minuteness of the sub-atomic realm. Keeping constant a scaling ratio for both worlds, these may actually be converted into two self-same representatives with respect to scaling. The Laws of Physical Transactions are made use of to study Bose-Einstein condensation. As the packing density of concerned constituents increase to a certain critical value, there may be evolution of …
