    • A spectroscopic study of high mass X-ray binaries 

      Reynolds, Alastair P. (University of St Andrews, 1992) - Thesis
      Observations of four massive x-ray binary stars are presented, based on data accumulated between February 1989 and August 1991. Using modern techniques of spectroscopic data analysis, velocity curves are derived for three ...

    • A spectroscopic study of binary systems 

      McLean, Brian John (University of St Andrews, 1981) - Thesis
      Spectroscopic observations of some of the brighter W Ursae Majoris type contact binaries in the northern hemisphere have been obtained at a medium dispersion of 20-30 Å/mm. A computer program has been developed to process ...

    • Problems of the gauge theory of weak, electromagnetic and strong interactions 

      Papantonopoulos, Eleftherios G. (University of St Andrews, 1980) - Thesis
      The aim of this thesis is to present and discuss some mathematical and physical problems in the theory of weak, electromagnetic and strong interactions. Our main concern is a parallel development of mathematical and physical ...

    • Geometric quantisation and quantum mechanics in Dirac's front form 

      Powis, J. J. (University of St Andrews, 1994) - Thesis
      We give a brief review of geometric quantisation up to and including the Blattner-Kostant-Sternberg kernal. In general this leads to symmetric operators that are not essentially self-adjoint so motivating a study of Hermitian ...

    • On the interatomic potential of neon 

      Nicol, William Menzies (University of St Andrews, 1956) - Thesis
      It is not an exaggeration to say that the knowledge of the interatomic potential energy is the stepping stone to the physical properties of matter. In the case of gases the most important commutation on the path of development ...
