A study of brown dwarf and star formation in NGC 2264
(2022-11-29) - ThesisBrown dwarfs are substellar objects intermediate between stars and planets that are not massive enough to sustain stable hydrogen fusion (<75Mⱼᵤₚ). They are a natural outcome of the processes that lead to the formation of ... -
Star formation in the Perseus complex : a tale of seven clusters
(University of St Andrews, 2022-06-13) - ThesisFollowing the recent advances in astrometry of Gaia DR2, I use its photometric and kinematic data to explore the structure of the star forming region associated with the molecular cloud of Perseus. Apart from the two ... -
Manipulation of charge density wave instabilities in Ti-based transition-metal dichalcogenides
(2023-06-12) - ThesisTransition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) offer a versatile platform to study the interplay of different electronic interactions underpinning collective quantum phases such as ferromagnetism, superconductivity and charge ... -
Dirac solitons in general relativity : many-fermion states, singular solutions & the inclusion of a Higgs mechanism
(2022-11-29) - ThesisThe study of gravitationally localised quantum states, in which quantum particles are bound together by their mutual gravitational interaction, has been a topic of considerable research for over 50 years. Stemming from ...
