1	The Geologic History of the Hypanis Deposit, Mars and Ballistic Modeling of Lunar Impact Ejecta January 2019 (has links) abstract: Water has shaped the surface of Mars, recording previous environments and inspiring the search for extinct life beyond Earth. While conditions on the Martian surface today are not conducive to the presence of liquid water, ancient erosional and depositional features indicate that this was not always so. Quantifying the regional and global history of water on Mars is crucial to understanding how the planet evolved, where to focus future exploration, and implications for water on Earth. Many sites on Mars contain layered sedimentary deposits, sinuous valleys with delta shaped deposits, and other indications of large lakes. The Hypanis deposit is a unique endmember in this set of locations as it appears to be the largest ancient river delta identified on the planet, and it appears to have no topographic boundary, implying deposition into a sea. I have used a variety of high-resolution remote sensing techniques and geologic mapping techniques to present a new model of past water activity in the region. I gathered new orbital observations and computed thermal inertia, albedo, elevation, and spectral properties of the Hypanis deposit. I measured the strike and dip of deposit layers to interpret the sedimentary history. My results indicate that Hypanis was formed in a large calm lacustrine setting. My geomorphic mapping of the deposit and catchment indicates buried volatile-rich sediments erupted through the Chryse basin fill, and may be geological young or ongoing. Collectively, my results complement previous studies that propose a global paleoshoreline, and support interpretations that Mars had an ocean early in its history. Future missions to the Martian surface should consider Hypanis as a high-value sampling opportunity. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Geological Sciences 2019 Planetology Geology Geomorphology Earth Hypanis Mars Moon Tycho
2	A New Method to Estimate Light Echo Apparent Proper Motion Vectors Javid Khalili, Niloufar January 2016 (has links) This thesis presents a new method to estimate the Apparent Proper Motion (APM) vector and its uncertainty for supernova light echoes (LEs) and tests its usefulness in practice on LEs due to two old Galactic supernovae (SNe) - Cas A and Tycho. Ten instances of two-dimensional cross-correlation (2-D CC) of images containing light echoes at diferent epochs are employed to examine how well this new method works in practice. The images selected for this work originate from KPNO 4m Mosaic 1.1 images and were originally processed by the Pan-STARRS pipeline. All the APM estimates reported in this thesis are within 1sigma of estimates based on supernova distance and age provided reasonable inclinations are assumed. It was found that several factors tend to reduce the expected precision of this method and these include: 1) the existence of more than one LE feature for each epoch, 2) longer intervals between the two epochs lead to a bias, and 3) the existence of dust filaments at more than one depth along the line of sight. The results of three LE fields which were in common with the previous studies by Rest et al. in 2008 and 2011, were compared and a good agreement was found between them in difference-images with the same time interval. Since pixel values have a significant role in the introduced method, a control region is considered to eliminate the defect of the irrelevant residuals to the LE features. Hence, the introduced method was not straightforward. In addition, this method was not thoroughly manual independent, as the benefits of the visual measurement from the previous method reported by Rest et al. (2008) and (2011) were adopted for this method. However, compared to the previous manual technique, there were much less manual measurements were taken for the whole LE features in one frame. Considering all the challenges, the CC method is favourable as the APM vector uncertainty can be determined, which has not been achievable with previous method before. / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc) Cas A Tycho Supernovae Historical supernovae Light echoes Apparent proper motion

6	Metodologia e rigor científico : um estudo de caso sobre os valores na cosmologia moderna Luquiari, Paluana Curvelo January 2017 (has links) Orientador: Prof. Dr. Paulo Tadeu da Silva. / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Filosofia, 2017. / O presente trabalho visa analisar o desenvolvimento de uma nova metodologia, entre os séculos XVI e XVII, que parece promover um maior rigor científico. Tal metodologia expressa uma nova relação entre saber e técnica, pressupondo uma imagem de natureza que possa ser usada de modo a favorecer o correto entendimento de mundo. Valores cognitivos são debatidos para que a interpretação da natureza ocorresse da melhor forma possível. Na astronomia, foco do trabalho, essa estratégia se concretizou com o uso da luneta, por Galileu, bem como com os critérios por ele adotados, que se expressavam no desejo pela autonomia da ciência. Não obstante, espero demonstrar que essa metodologia começou com Tycho Brahe, importante astrônomo da era pré-telescópio que desenvolveu grandes instrumentos para o estudo dos céus de modo a obter os números mais exatos de sua época; igualmente, a adequação empírica parece ser um importante valor a ser manifestado por concepções científicas, segundo o pensamento do autor. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo de caso dará enfoque a este novo método que parece nascer com Brahe e se consolidar com Galileu. / This work aims to analyze the development of a new methodology, between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, that seems to have promoted a greater scientific rigor. This methodology expresses a new relation between knowledge and technique, assuming a picture of Nature that could be used to enable the correct understanding of the World. Cognitive values were discussed so the interpretation of Nature could happen in the most desirable approach. In astronomy, focus of this work, this strategy was consolidated amidst the use of the telescope, as Galileo, in conjunction with the criteria adopted by him which expressed his desire for an autonomy of science. Nevertheless, I aim to demonstrate that this methodology began with Tycho Brahe, an important astronomer from the pre-telescope age, who developed great instruments for the pondering of the heavens as to get the most accurate numbers during his time; likewise, the empirical adequacy seems to be an important value to be manifested for scientific conceptions, according to the author. In this sense, the work focuses on this new method that seems to have begun with Brahe and have consolidated with Galileo. COSMOLOGIA (FILOSOFIA) COSMOLOGY Galileu, 1564-1642

8	The Pleiadic Age of Stuart Poesie: Restoration Uranography, Dryden's Judicial Astrology, and the Fate of Anne Killigrew Brown, Morgan Alexander 30 April 2010 (has links) The following Thesis is a survey of seventeenth-century uranography, with specific focus on the use of the Pleiades and Charles's Wain by English poets and pageant writers as astrological ciphers for the Stuart dynasty (1603-1649; 1660-1688). I then use that survey to address the problem of irony in John Dryden's 1685 Pindaric elegy, "To the Pious Memory of Mrs. Anne Killigrew," since the longstanding notion of what the Pleiades signify in Dryden's ode is problematic from an astronomical and astrological perspective. In his elegiac ode, Dryden translates a young female artist to the Pleiades to actuate her apotheosis, not for the sake of mere fulsome hypberbole, but in such a way that Anne (b. 1660-d. 1685) signifies for the reign of Charles II (1660-1685) in her Pleiadic catasterism. The political underpinnings of Killigrew's apotheosis reduce the probability that Dryden's hyperbole reserves pejorative ironic potential.
