    • The law of interstellar extinction in the southern Milky Way 

      Whittet, D. C. B. (Doug C. B.) (University of St Andrews, 1975) - Thesis
      Photoelectric scanner observations are combined with infrared photometry in the JHKL bands to give interstellar extinction curves by the colour difference method for 25 reddened stars in the Southern Milky Way. The ...

    • A three-colour photometric survey of Virgo 'core' lenticular galaxies 

      Malcolm, Gordon J (University of St Andrews, 1987) - Thesis
      Photographic Surface photometry in the Johnson B, R and I passbands of eighteen galaxies within 3° of the Virgo cluster 'core' is presented in this work. U.K. National facilities and STARLIKK common-user software were ...

    • On the mass and luminosity within isolated and binary galaxies 

      Blackman, Clinton Paul (University of St Andrews, 1977) - Thesis
      The aim of this project has been to study the detailed mass and luminosity distributions within spiral galaxies, with particular emphasis on the comparison of isolated and binary systems. A large programme of photographic ...

    • Dynamics and kinematics of systems consisting of spherical and spheroidal bodies 

      Papadakos, Dimitrios N. (University of St Andrews, 1981) - Thesis
      There are three principal aims of this work; firstly to derive the analytical expressions for the potential energy and the mutual gravitational attraction between two homogeneous or non-homogeneous oblate spheroids with ...

    • A spectroscopic and photometric investigation of some extremely hydrogen-deficient stars 

      Morrison, Keith (University of St Andrews, 1988) - Thesis
      A photometric study of the extreme helium stars has detected three new variables (BD+1°4381, BD-1°3438, LSIV-1°2) and confirmed the suspected variability of two others (LSII+33°5, BD-9°4395). The timescale of the ...
