    • Expected Host Galaxy Properties of PTA Detectable Massive Black Hole Binaries 
      Cella, Katharine (Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2021-12-06)
      Massive black hole binaries (MBHB) produce gravitational waves (GW) that will be detectable with pulsar timing arrays within the next few years. We determine the properties of the host galaxies of MBHB at the time they are ...
    • Deformed Explicitly Correlated Gaussians 
      Beutel, Matthew (Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2022-12)
      Strong coupling of cavity electromagnetic modes and molecules has emerged as an area of intense theoretical and experimental interest. Such systems are of particular interest due to their ability to modify the physical ...
    • DARK MATTER MAY NOT BE SO DARK: Testing Massive Primordial Black Hole Dark Matter with Galactic X-Ray Emission 
      McPhaul, Nolan (Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2024-04-16)
      Were primordial black holes (PBHs) to exist, they could constitute a significant portion of dark matter in our universe which could be explored through gravitational wave emission, gravitational lensing, and electromagnetic ...
