Pulsar scattering and the ionized interstellar medium by Geyer, M

“…</p> <p>The detected radio wave signals carry with them information of the ionised interstellar medium (IISM) paths they traveled along. The imprints reveal that the pulsar signals we detect travel along multiple paths. …”

Understanding the large-scale dynamics of the interstellar medium in barred galaxies by Sormani, M

“…<p>We study the large-scale dynamics of the interstellar medium in barred galaxies. The interest in doing this is two-fold. …”

Cold and controlled ion-radical reactions, relevant to the interstellar medium and outer atmosphere by Miossec, C

“…Ion–radical reactions are important for the chemistry happening in the interstellar medium and in certain regions of Earth’s atmosphere, where both temperature and pressure are low. …”

Understanding radio pulsars using modern broad-band instruments by Oswald, LS

“…In order to maximize the understanding available with broad-band observations, it is important to address the interaction between pulsar radio emission and the interstellar medium through which it propagates. I create an algorithm for correcting the effects of the interstellar medium in broad-band polarimetric data from the Parkes Ultra-Wideband receiver to reveal the intrinsic polarization behaviour of PSRs~J1056--6258 and J1359--6038. …”

Measurement of the Fluorine, Sodium, and Aluminum Fluxes in Cosmic Rays with the AMS Experiment on the International Space Station by Qin, Xiaoting

“…Secondary nuclei (Li, Be, B, ...) are mostly produced by interactions of primary nuclei with the interstellar medium. Precise knowledge of the secondary-to-primary flux ratio, like B/C, is essential in the understanding of cosmic ray propagation. …”

On the Propagation of Galactic Cosmic Rays by Holmes, J

“…The hydromagnetic waves formed by the streaming cosmic rays have to compete against damping processes in the interstellar medium. The dominant linear damping process is that due to collisions between the charged particles moving with the wave and the neutral particles of the interstellar medium. …”

Spin-orbit coupling effects in diatomic molecules by Cooper, D, Cooper, David L.

“…The importance of these phenomena stems from the advent of radioastronomy and the study of the interstellar medium. Identification of the molecules, and the molecular transitions, in the interstellar dust clouds is necessary for an understanding of the cooling process by which these clouds can contract to form new stars.…”

The impact of radio-AGN on star formation across cosmic time by Virdee, J

“…<p>This thesis presents a detailed study of the impact of radio-AGN on star formation and the interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies across cosmic time. …”

Magnetic fields in and around galaxies by Martin, S

“…In the case of galaxies, magnetic energy is measured to be in equipartition with thermal and turbulent energies of the interstellar medium. Despite this omnipresence, the origin of cosmic magnetic fields remains an open question, and the precise influence that magnetic fields have in shaping the formation and evolution of galaxies is uncertain. …”

Radio studies of relativistic outflows from black hole transients by Bright, J

“…I present a study of the radio through X-ray afterglow of GRB 171010A in the context of the fireball model (which details the interaction of the jet and interstellar medium). By fitting the time evolving spectra, the values and evolution of the characteristic synchrotron frequencies can be inferred. …”

Gas dynamics in the galactic center by Ridley, M

“…<p>In this thesis we examine several aspects of the dynamics of the interstellar medium at the centre of the Milky Way. The gas is an excellent dynamical tracer: models of the gas response to an externally imposed barred potential place unique constraints on the Galaxy's matter distribution.…”

Localization and Lensing of Fast Radio Bursts using CHIME/FRB and its VLBI Outriggers by Leung, Calvin

“…We find that some FRBs exhibit plasma lensing (scintillation), which we attribute to the Milky Way’s interstellar medium, and use our null search to place new constraints on extragalactic primordial black holes as dark matter.…”

A 230 GHz focal plane array using a wide IF bandwidth SIS receiver by Garrett, J

“…In astronomy, they are used for sensitive spectroscopy, which is vital for understanding the properties of the cold interstellar medium, including regions of star formation activity. …”
