Connecting evolved massive stars to interacting supernovae
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2021)Massive stars and supernovae are not only remarkable objects on their own but they are closely related to many other topics in Astrophysics, such as nucleosynthesis, star formation, and gravitational waves. ... -
Eclipse observations of high-frequency oscillations in active region coronal loops
(EDP Sciences, 2003)One of the mechanisms proposed for heating the corona above solar active regions is the damping of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves. Continuing on previous work, we provide observational evidence for the existence of ... -
An Investigation into the Accretion Processes of Young Stellar Objects
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2023)The way in which young stars form is complex and fascinating, and is anything but a smooth, continuous process. Studying their dramatic, and sometimes violent, early years of accreting and ejecting material is vital in ... -
Magnetic Fields and Accretion Processes in Young Stars: A case study of the classical T Tauri star DK Tau
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2024)Low-mass young stars that are a few million years old and called classical T Tauri stars (cTTs) experience magnetospheric accretion. They are surrounded by a circumstellar disk (which consists of an inner and outer disk) ...
