Blanton, Joseph P. | AC Magnetic Susceptibility of Sub-Millimeter Superconductor Samples at Extreme Conditions | Superconductivity is a unique state of matter observed at cryogenic temperatures in many materials. Superconductors are defined as materials that have zero DC electrical resistance and perfect diamagnetism below a critical transition temperature, Tc. These properties are very useful for many applica... | 2018 | |

Imig, Julie | Galactic Evolution of Phosphorus and Sulfur Using Star Clusters | The chemical composition of a galaxy changes as it evolves, so understanding the evolutionary processes of individual elements can be powerful tools in unravelling the history of a galaxy. Phosphorus is considered one of the key building blocks of life, and sulfur is an alpha-element, a tracer of su... | 2017 | |

Dutson, Matthew J. | Reconstruction of Cosmic Ray Geometry using Cherenkov backscattering | Fluorescence detectors are often used to examine the energy spectrum and arrival directions of ultra high energy cosmic rays. An accurate reconstruction of geometry is key when determining both energy and direction. In the past, it has been necessary to build multiple fluorescence detectors to take ... | 2017 | |

Christopherson, Anna | Search for the highest energy gamma rays of galactic origin using telescope array low energy fluorescence detectors | Telescope Array (TA) is the largest cosmic ray detector in the Northern Hemisphere, designed to measure cosmic rays with energies greater than 1018 eV. TA combines three fluorescence telescope sites, which are each instrumented with 12-14 telescopes, surrounding an array of 507 surface detectors tha... | 2022 | |

Dyer, Jamie | Studies of Spectral Variability of Quasars with Multi-Epoch Analyses | Quasars are supermassive black holes known to drive galaxy formation. They can have masses up to 109 solar masses and are the most luminous known objects in the sky, making them very important trackers of cosmic evolution. Given the large amount of research already surrounding quasar astrophysics, t... | 2017 | |

Kelley, Logan T. | Weighing Abell 2029: How Different Assumptions Change a Galaxy Cluster's Mass | At a given mass, the amount of galaxy clusters within some volume greatly depends on certain cosmological parameters. Examples of such parameters are: how much total mass there is (nm), the equation of state parameter of dark energy (w), and the scale of fluctuations (o8). These quantities can be me... | 2020 | |

Wilson, Alexis | West Antarctica as a Natural Laboratory for Cloud Microphysics | Clouds contribute to energy regulation in the global climate system. Remote and unaffected by local pollution sources, Antarctica offers a unique laboratory to study clouds and their influence on the surface energy budget. The study of these clouds is particularly interesting as global temperatures ... | 2017 |
