Tatooine's Future: Dynamical Evolution of Planets Orbiting Two Stars
(2018-03-01)Science fiction has long teased our imaginations with tales of planets with two suns. How these planets form and evolve, and their survival prospects, are active fields of research. Expanding on previous work, four new ... -
Testing CPT And Antigravity With Trapped Antihydrogen At ALPHA
(2016-09-20)High precision antihydrogen experiments allow tests of fundamental theoretical descriptions of nature. These experiments are performed with the ALPHA apparatus, where ultra-low energy antihydrogen is produced and confined ... -
The Impact of Atmospheric Models on the Dynamics of Space Tether Systems
(2016-09-20)Space debris has become an increasingly larger concern for aerospace travel and exploration. One idea to control the space debris population is to de-orbit defunct satellites using a space tether system. A space tether ... -
The Strong Isospin-Breaking Correction to the Leading-Order Hadronic Vacuum Polarisation Contribution to the Anomalous Magnetic Moment of the Muon
(2020-05-11)The contribution of strong isospin-breaking (SIB) effects to the value of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is studied using the leading-order SIB component of the photon vacuum polarisation function, calculated ... -
Topological Dynamical Systems Methods in Early-Universe Cosmologies
(2015-01-26)This dissertation describes some important problems that we have tried to solve with respect to the state of the early universe, that is, the universe shortly after the Big Bang. Standard early-universe cosmological ... -
Volatile Ice Deposits in Lunar Polar Regions and Their Sources
(2018-11-21)An amalgamation of code adapted from Schorghofer [2014] and Moores [2016] was used to simulate the movement of volatiles on the present-day surface of the Moon. The trapping of volatiles in permanently shadowed regions ...
