Travis Fichtenbauer, “Analyzing Nulling Pulsars Using Gaussian Mixture Models” Mentors: Joseph Swiggum & David Kaplan, Physics Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit radiation from their magnetic poles. A small portion of the pulsar population is known to occasionally…… Read More
Sparrow Roch, “Geodetic Precession and Pulse Profile Changes Over Time of Pulsar B1913+16” Mentors: Joseph Swiggum & David Kaplan, Physics Pulsars are dense and quickly rotating neutron stars that emit radiation from their magnetic poles. A pulsar’s magnetic axis is…… Read More
Bob Aloisi, “Radio Bright Supernovae Observed by Australian SKA Pathfinder” Mentor: David Kaplan, Physics Transient radio flux density from supernovae are caused by synchrotron radiation related to supernova shock waves interacting with circumstellar material. These observations can constrain physical supernova…… Read More
Travis Fichtenbauer, Sparrow Roch, Claire Bolda, Natalie Meyers & Herbert De Leon, “STARS@UWM: The Search for Pulsars” Mentors: David Kaplan, Sarah Vigeland & Joseph Swiggum, Physics Pulsars are a type of evolved star that are extremely dense and rotate with…… Read More
