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 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...

Two novel methods of measuring cosmic distances in the Universe (2020)
Thesis
Lindholmer, M. O. (2020). Two novel methods of measuring cosmic distances in the Universe. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4223654

We present two novel methods of distance measurement using photometric techniques. We compare the methods to each other and independently created methods to measure photometric redshifts. The first method we present in this thesis is based on SFR of... Read More about Two novel methods of measuring cosmic distances in the Universe.

The motions of galaxies within large-scale structures (2020)
Thesis
Bilton, L. E. (2020). The motions of galaxies within large-scale structures. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222954

Galaxy clusters represent one of the largest-scale structures in the Universe, with their en- vironments of varying density being ideal for inducing an increase in activity of the cluster galaxy members and the pervading Intracluster Medium (ICM) bet...

The evolution of galaxies : starbursts and beyond (2018)
Thesis
Wilkinson, C. L. (2018). The evolution of galaxies : starbursts and beyond. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4221716

Determining how galaxies evolve and what drives their evolution is one of the biggest challenges in astronomy. This thesis aims to shed light on the life-cycle of galaxies by answering the following questions: (1) How do different selection methods o...

Observing the effect of galaxy environment on the evolution of active galactic nuclei in the era of multiplexed wide-field fibre-optic spectroscopy (2018)
Thesis
Gordon, Y. A. (2018). Observing the effect of galaxy environment on the evolution of active galactic nuclei in the era of multiplexed wide-field fibre-optic spectroscopy. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4220780

In this thesis, we use the environment of active galactic nuclei (AGN) to test AGN unification. Furthermore, we analyse how interaction between the environment and host galaxy can influence AGN evolution. This is done for a range of galaxy densities,...
