Stellar stream and dark matter detection are active areas of research in astrophysics. Historically, this detection has been a manual process and has led to the discovery of stellar streams such as GD-1 and Palomar 5.
The field of X-ray polarimetry provides a new way to observe astrophysical objects by measuring the polarisation fraction and angle of emitted radiation flux in the X-ray regime. The PoGOLite (Polarised Gamma-ray Observer) Pathfinder experiment is a …
The goal of this project was to create an intuitive and clear demonstrator of the defining properties of quantum mechanics using single slit diffraction of light, which has quantum mechanical properties because of light’s waveparticle duality. In …
