While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5.

SIGNED: ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Professionally I would like to thank my advisors, Bill Tifft (official) and Andre Pacholczyk (unofficial) for all their support and for leaving me pretty much alone to do this work. I would also like to thank the National Radio Astronomy Observatory and the Steward Observatory for generous allocations of telescope time. Specifically at N.R.A.O. I thank Pat Crane, Larry Rudnick, Betty Stobie, Elaine Litman, Richard Porcas, Martha Haynes, and Tom Cram for invaluable help. At Steward I thank Eric Jensen, Gary Coleman, Bill Romanishin, and Maxine Howlett. I also appreciate the initial interest of May Kaftan-Kassim in this project. My non-professional debts are much vaster in number because the majority of my time the last five years has not involved astronomical research. The love and support of these many good friends has made my path clearer to me. It is a tribute to them that I have not strayed too far afield during these difficult and wonderful years. To them, Namaste. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS vi LIST OF TABLES ^ . viii ABSTRACT ix CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION 1 2. A RADIO CONTINUUM SURVEY OF ISOLATED PAIRS OF GALAXIES . 5 2.1.

The selection criterion for this sample requires that these galaxies are in some of the sparsest regions of space. Because such representatives of the "field" population have recently been shown to be exceedingly rare, a survey of these galaxies allows a comprehensive study of the radio source phenomenon in regions of galaxy density as different from rich clusters as possible.

Received YYY; in original form ZZZ ABSTRACT We present new chemo{kinematics of the Hercules dwarf galaxy based on Keck II{ DEIMOS spectroscopy. Our 21 confirmed members have a systemic velocity of vHerc = −1 +1:4 −1 46:4 1:3 kms and a velocity dispersion σv;Herc = 4:4−1:2 kms . From the strength of the± Ca II triplet, we obtain a metallicity of [Fe/H]= 2:48 0:19 dex and dispersion +0:18 − ± of σ[Fe=H] = 0:63−0:13 dex. This makes Hercules a particularly metal{poor galaxy, placing it slightly below the standard mass{metallicity relation. Previous photometric and spectroscopic evidence suggests that Hercules is tidally disrupting and may be on a highly radial orbit. From our identified members, we measure no significant velocity gradient. By cross{matching with the second Gaia data release, we determine an ∗ uncertainty{weighted mean proper motion of µα = µα cos(δ) = 0:153 0:074 mas −1 −1 − ± yr , µδ = 0:397 0:063 mas yr .

Received 2017 June 27; in original form 2016 November 29 ABSTRACT We report the discovery of an extremely large (Rb ∼2.77 arcsec ≈ 4.2 kpc) core in the brightest cluster galaxy, IC 1101, of the rich galaxy cluster Abell 2029. Luminous core-Sersic´ galaxies contain depleted cores – with sizes (Rb) typically 20–500 pc – that are thought to be formed by coalescing black hole binaries. We fit a (double nucleus) + (spheroid) + (intermediate-scale component) + (stellar halo) model to the Hubble Space Telescope surface brightness profile of IC 1101, finding the largest core size measured in any galaxy to date. This core is an order of magnitude larger than those typically measured for core-Sersic´ galaxies. We find that the spheroid’s V-band absolute magnitude (MV)of−23.8 mag (∼25 per cent of the total galaxy light, i.e. including the stellar halo) is faint for the large Rb, such that the observed core is 1.02 dex ≈ 3.4σ s (rms scatter) larger than that estimated from the Rb–MV relation.

We analyzed the velocity space of the thin- and thick-disk Gaia white dwarf population within 100 pc by searching for signatures of the Hercules stellar stream.

We applied a kernel density estimation to the UV velocity space of white dwarfs.

The Chandra X-ray Observatory is finding a large number of cavities in the X-ray emitting intra-cluster medium which often coincide with the lobes of the central radio galaxy. We propose high-resolution Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) observa- tions to infer the still unknown dynamically dominant component of the radio plasma bubbles. This work calculates the thermal and relativistic SZ emission of different compositions of these plasma bubbles while simultaneously allowing for the cluster’s kinetic SZ effect. As examples, we present simulations of an Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) observation and of a Green Bank Telescope (GBT) observation of the cores of the Perseus cluster and Abell 2052. We predict a 5σ detection of the southern radio bubble of Perseus in a few hours with the GBT and ALMA while assuming a relativistic electron population within the bubble. In Abell 2052, a similar detection would require a few tens of hours with either telescope, the longer ex- posures mainly being the result of the higher redshift and the lower central temperature of this cluster.
