Advancing Techniques for Detecting Dwarf Satellite Populations Beyond the Local Group
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-20)This thesis includes material from three papers that develop techniques for quantifying faint dwarf satellite populations outside the Local Group. Dwarf satellites are important for our understanding of small-scale structure ... -
Galaxy Morphology In Cluster Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-25)It is a well known fact that cluster environments favour early-type galaxies over late- type. However, the physical origin of the correlation remains uncertain. We focus specifically on the external environmental mechanisms ... -
Messier 87: A Laboratory for Exploring AGN Variability using the Event Horizon Telescope
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-17)At a distance of 50 million light years at the heart of the Virgo cluster, lies the giant elliptical galaxy Messier 87. This galaxy has at its center a brilliant relativistic jet, observable at all wavelengths, and at the ... -
Probing the Environmental Dependence of Star Formation in Satellite Galaxies using Orbital Kinematics
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-03)(Abridged) Physical processes regulating star formation in satellite galaxies represent an area of ongoing research, but the projected nature of observed coordinates makes separating different populations of satellites ...
