Dwarf galaxies with AGN and their environments in observations and simulations (2022)
Thesis
Kristensen, M. T. (2022). Dwarf galaxies with AGN and their environments in observations and simulations. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4224649

This thesis is a study of dwarf galaxies with active galactic nucleis (AGN) characteristics, their environments, and identification of them in both observations and simulations. More specifically, it attempts to answer the questions of what environme... Read More about Dwarf galaxies with AGN and their environments in observations and simulations.

Quantitative morphology of galaxy clusters at X-ray wavelengths (2021)
Thesis
Hunt, L. (2021). Quantitative morphology of galaxy clusters at X-ray wavelengths. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4224267

We apply quantitative morphology techniques to X-ray imaging of clusters of galaxies to determine correlation between calculated parameters (CAS, Gini and M20) and features such as bow shocks, cold fronts, gas sloshing, Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities...

The effects of gravitation and fluid dynamics on velocity estimation by stagnation point method of a minor galaxy cluster merger, by analysis of full hydro + N-body simulations (2020)
Thesis
Fish, T. M. (2020). The effects of gravitation and fluid dynamics on velocity estimation by stagnation point method of a minor galaxy cluster merger, by analysis of full hydro + N-body simulations. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4224503

Galaxy clusters are collections of galaxies that grow by merging with galaxies or other clusters. Galaxy clusters are predominantly dark matter and a hot plasma called the intracluster medium (ICM), which can be observed through X-ray bright emission...

The first holistic view of minor mergers of galaxy clusters (2019)
Thesis
Sheardown, A. J. (2019). The first holistic view of minor mergers of galaxy clusters. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4221856

Utilising hydrodynamic + N-body simulations, we present the first holistic view of minor mergers of galaxy clusters. A minor merger describes the merging of a main cluster and a less massive subhalo, this could be a subcluster, group or an elliptical...

Impact of observational selection functions on simulated age and metallicity distributions (2019)
Thesis
Atkin, D. (2019). Impact of observational selection functions on simulated age and metallicity distributions. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222148

I use a novel approach to close the gap between observations and simulations of stellar abundance and ages by comparing observational data from Gaia-ESO 4th release (GES-iDR4) with that of a Milky Way-like galaxy simulation. The simulation is brought... Read More about Impact of observational selection functions on simulated age and metallicity distributions.
