  • Comparing Catelan's Equations to Distances from GAIA Using an RR
    Comparing Catelan's equations to distances from GAIA using an RR Lyrae type star, SW Andromedae by Talon Dow A senior thesis submitted to the faculty of Brigham Young University - Idaho in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science Department of Physics Brigham Young University - Idaho March 2021 1 Copyright ©2021 Talon Dow All Rights Reserved 2 BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY - IDAHO DEPARTMENT APPROVAL of a senior thesis submitted by Talon Dow This thesis has been reviewed by the research advisor, research coordinator, and department chair and has been found to be satisfactory. Date Stephen McNeil, Advisor Date Stephen Turcotte, Committee Member Date Brian Tonks, Committee Member Date R. Todd Lines, Chair 3 Abstract COMPARING CATELAN'S EQUATIONS TO DISTANCES FROM GAIA USING AN RR LYRAE TYPE STAR, SW ANDROMEDAE Talon Dow Department of Physics and Astronomy Bachelor of Science In this project, we try to establish how accurate Catelans' equations are using a RR Lyrae star, SW Andromedae. Utilizing telescopes from the Las Cumbres Observatory, we took data of the star over two weeks in the V, i, Z and B filters. Using that data and metallicity obtained from several different journal articles, we obtain an average distance to the star of 447 + = − 30 parsecs. That distance is not within the distance recorded by GAIA which is 562 + = − 52 parsecs. Our methodology is explained and can be duplicated to rerun our measurements. 4 Acknowledgements I would like to thank Michael Fitzgerald, the creator of this project and the time he spent creating the videos for us to learn of off.

  • Dissertation
    Dissertation submitted to the Instituto de Astrofísica, Facultad de Física Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Chile for the degree of Doctor in Astrophysics submitted to the Combined Faculties for the Natural Sciences and for Mathematics of the Ruperto-Carola University of Heidelberg, Germany for the degree of Doctor of Natural Sciences Put forward by M.Sc. Gergely Hajdu Born in Miskolc, Hungary Oral examination: 06 August 2019 Structure of the obscured Galactic disk with pulsating variables Gergely Hajdu Referees: Prof. Dr. Márcio Catelan Prof. Dr. Eva Grebel ABSTRACT Bright pulsating variables, such as Cepheids and RR Lyrae, are prime probes of the structure of both the young and old stellar components of the Milky Way. However, the far side of the Galactic disk has not yet been mapped using such variables as tracers, due to the severe extinction caused by foreground interstellar dust. In this thesis, the near-infrared light curves from the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea survey are utilized to penetrate these regions of high extinction and thus discover thou- sands of previously “hidden” Cepheid and RR Lyrae variables. The analysis of the light curves of RR Lyrae variables, was performed with a newly developed fitting algorithm, and their metallicities determined from their near-infrared light-curve shapes, using a newly developed method. These photometric metal abundances, combined with their positions within the Galactic disk, lend support to theories of an early, inside-out forma- tion of the Galactic disk. The newly discovered Cepheids were classified into the old (Type II) and young (Clas- sical) subtypes. A new near-infrared extinction law was determined using the Type II Cepheids, taking advantage of their concentration around the Galactic center.
