Type II supernovae (SNe II) are excellent tools for studying stellar evolution, mass loss, cosmology, and to probe possible explosion mechanisms. By examining the spectroscopic diversity of SNe II, this thesis aims to improve the...
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are rather homogeneous astrophysical objects and can be used as cosmological distance ladders. Despite that, significant diversity among SNe Ia luminosity (by a factor of ~ 10) and spectral properties have...
This dissertation describes our research into the properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) through the lens of numerical magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations. Our research explores the prob- ability distribution functions (PDF) of...
We performed forecasts of the uncertainty with which future surveys will measure the cosmological parameters of the non-flat ΛCDM model, extended to include the sum of neutrino masses Σν, and the effective number of relativistic species...
The main topic of this dissertation is phase transitions and their unique dynamical behavior. Among the various manifestations of phase transitions, spatial ordering of magnetic moments (spins) as in a ferromagnet is of special interest....
Galaxy clusters are the largest gravitationally bound structures in the Universe, and they provide valuable insights into astrophysics and cosmology. One method of studying galaxy clusters - the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect - involves using...
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique to study biomolecules. EPR has been employed to investigate the structure and dynamics of biological membranes, membrane proteins, and protein-lipid interactions....
This dissertation is a collection of our research on star forming cores. We used tracer particles to record time dependent information on the gases that make up these cores. From these information we deduced core characteristics. We...
An ionized Very-High Velocity Cloud (VHVC, vLSR ∼ −350 km s−1 was recently discovered in multiple ion absorption lines (e.g., O i, C ii, Si ii, Si iii) in the sightline of M33 (Zheng et al. 2017). However, the VHVC’s origin is still...
