An Abstract of A Variability Study of Y Dwarfs: A Spitzer Space Telescope Program by Jesica Lynn Trucks Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Physics with concentration in Astrophysics The University of Toledo August 2019 I present the results of a search for variability in 14 Y dwarfs consisting 2 epochs of observations, each taken with Spitzer for 12 hours at [3.6] immediately followed by 12 hours at [4.5], separated by 122{464 days and found that Y dwarfs are variable. We used not only periodograms to characterize the variability but we also utilized Bayesian analysis. We found that using different methods to detect variability gives different answers making survey comparisons difficult. We determined the variability fraction of Y dwarfs to be between 37% and 74%. While the mid-infrared light curves of Y dwarfs are generally stable on time scales of months, we have encountered a few that vary dramatically on those time scales.

Our dataset incorporates publicly available radial velocities taken with the ELODIE and CORALIE spectrographs, HARPS, and Keck HIRES as well as previously unpublished HIRES velocities. We first quantita- tively assess the validity of the planets thought to orbit GJ 876 by computing the Bayes factors for a variety of different coplanar models using an importance sampling algorithm. We find that a four-planet model is preferred over a three-planet model. Next, we apply a Newtonian MCMC algorithm to perform a Bayesian analysis of the planet masses and orbits using an n-body model in three-dimensional space.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} a Boy in Barcelona by R.W. Mitchell 20 Must-Read Books Set in Spain by Spanish Authors
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} A Boy in Barcelona by R.W. Mitchell 20 Must-Read Books Set in Spain by Spanish Authors. It’s always been the case that when I travel, I like to read novels that are region-specific. That’s been true for a long time; but in the last few years, as I became more aware of the lack of translated literature and the need to read more diversely, I made my plan even more particular. Now, when I travel somewhere, I want to read books not only set in the place, but written by someone who lived or was from there, preferably translated from the original language. Photograph of Leah Rachel von Essen in Barcelona, by Oscar Mills, used with permission. So when I went to Mexico City from Chicago, I read Caramelo by Sandra Cisneros; when I went to England, I read Jane Austen. And when I went to Spain, I dug deep into lists of Spanish authors, of books to read before, during, and after my trip that were written by Spanish authors and were set in Spain. I included books written in Catalan and Galician, as they are important national identities of regions that have also pushed for independence. I should note that I attempted to make my list inclusive of authors of color, but struggled to find translated non-white authors writing in Spain. If you have recommendations, please share them with me on Twitter—I would love to hear them! It’s also worth noting that there are many fantastic authors and novels out there that I would have loved to dig into on my trip and on this list, but that are still untranslated, highlighting once again the importance of an international outlook for our reading lists.
