Case Studies in AGN Feedback
(2022)Galaxies in which the central supermassive black hole (SMBH) is actively accreting are referred to as active galactic nuclei (AGN) and are believed to play a crucial role in the evolution of both individual and clusters ... -
Investigating Star Formation Feedback Through Gas Kinematics in Nearby Galaxies
(2021)Many stages of the stellar life cycle release energy and momentum into the surrounding interstellar medium within a galaxy. This feedback can have profound effects on the host galaxy. This thesis investigates the role of ... -
Revealing Unique Exoplanet Atmospheres with Multi-Instrument Space Telescope Transit and Eclipse Spectroscopy
(2021)Atmospheres act as windows into their host planets, containing measurable information on their planets' chemistry, climate, and atmospheric physics. The bulk properties of planets outside of the Solar System (exoplanets) ... -
From Tantrums to Transformations: AGN Transients Discovered with the Zwicky Transient Facility
(2021)This dissertation work has consisted of searches for extreme AGN-related outbursts during Phase I of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) survey, which has been a ground-breaking wide-field instrument for the real-time ... -
BROADBAND OBSERVATIONS OF GAMMA-RAY BURSTS AND FAST RADIO BURSTS: ENERGETICS, AFTERGLOWS, AND PHYSICAL ORIGINS
(2021)Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are produced during the deaths of massive stars. They are the most powerful explosions known in the Universe and release most of their energy via a narrow cone of emission. The long-lived ...
