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 impact of galaxy orientation on neighbour galaxy counts (2021)
Thesis
Alam, A. (2021). The impact of galaxy orientation on neighbour galaxy counts. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4224279

We utilised data from Galaxy Zoo, Sloan Digital Sky Survey and Yang et al. (2007) catalogue to determine if a galaxy’s orientation, i.e. whether it is viewed edge-on or face-on, impacts the number of observed neighbour galaxies. The results showed th...
