    • An investigation of a supercluster of galaxies in Piscis Austrinis 

      Bunclark, Peter S (University of St Andrews, 1986) - Thesis
      An examination of a IIIaJ plate taken on the United Kingdom Schmidt Telescope of Survey field 405 revealed a possible supercluster of clusters of galaxies. Three rich clusters could be seen grouped within one degree, and ...

    • Multicolour photometry of globular cluster stars 

      Pike, Christopher David (University of St Andrews, 1977) - Thesis
      The underlying theme of this thesis is the application of electronography to the study of stars in globular clusters through the use of both broad and intermediate-band photometric systems. Introductions to both the study ...

    • Magnetic activity in late-type stars 

      Hussain, Gaitee (University of St Andrews, 1999) - Thesis
      High resolution spectroscopic techniques are used to investigate the magnetic topology of the young, rapidly rotating star, AB Dor. Doppler images of AB Dor are produced using the Li I 6708 Å line and compared to images ...

    • An investigation of certain problems related to the classification and physical properties of faint blue stars 

      Brown, Alexander (University of St Andrews, 1978) - Thesis
      Faint blue stars situated out of the galactic plane have been studied using a variety of techniques. Stromgren photometry has been obtained for a number of these stars and classifications derived from the photometry. An ...

    • Stellar pulsation: a study of the influence of opacity on numerical models 

      Al-Mostafa, Zaki A. (University of St Andrews, 1995) - Thesis
      A theoretical study of Population II variables has been carried out using the nonlinear approach and using the more recent molecular opacities of Carson and Sharp (1991) with the atomic opacities of Iglesias and Rogers ...
