Circumstellar Sio Masers In The Bulge Asymmetries And Dynamical Evolution Survey, Michael Cullen Stroh
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
The Bulge Asymmetries and Dynamical Evolution (BAaDE) project aims to explore the complex structure of the inner Galaxy and Galactic Bulge, by using the 43 GHz receivers at the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and the 86 GHz receivers at the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to observe SiO maser lines in red giant stars. The SiO maser transitions occur at radio frequencies, where extinction is negligible, thus allowing a dense sampling of line-of-sight velocities in the most crowded regions of the Milky Way.
The overall goal of this thesis is to characterize the SiO masers in the …
