  • Atomic processes in gaseous nebulae 
    Prozesky, Andri (2011-05)
    The atomic physics relevant to gaseous nebulae is critically examined using modelling software with particular emphasis on radio recombination lines (RRLs). The theoretical spectral line intensities can be deduced if we ...
  • Investigation of the effect of ranking tasks of student understanding of key astronomy topics 
    Hudgins, David Willis (2009-08-25)
    This research concerns the development and testing of a new type of introductory astronomy curriculum material called ranking tasks. Ranking tasks are a novel form of conceptual exercise in which students are presented ...
  • Minimum entropy techniques for determining the period of W UMA stars 
    McArthur, Ian Albert (2014-08)
    This MSc report discusses the attributes of W Ursae Majoris (W UMa) stars and an investigation into the Minimum Entropy (ME) method, a digital technique applied to the determination of their periods of variability. A Python ...
  • Shock Excited 1720 MHz Masers 
    De Witt, Aletha (2009-08-25)
    1720 MHz OH masers have been detected towards a number of supernova remnants (SNRs) at the shock interface where the SNR slams into the interstellar medium. Models indicate that these masers are shock excited and can only ...
