The centralization of astronomical data repositories poses significant challenges to data accessibility, consistency, and real-time research. This work introduces a decentralized framework that...
View ArticlePlanetary Evolution with Variable Stellar Metallicity
To conduct my research, the software suite ' MESA’(Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics) was used to run simulations of planetary evolution. I focused on altering the host star’s...
View ArticleHabitable Zones Surrounding Active Galactic Nuclei
The habitable zone (HZ) refers to an area in a galaxy, around a supermassive black hole that can host life. Each galaxy is considered “active”, meaning it emits winds at extremely high velocities. We...
View ArticleOptimizing the Geometry of a Dyson Sphere to Maximize Power Output
The maximum power output of a Dyson sphere can be estimated using the temperature profile of the solar system. The calculations are based on the average global power consumption and the maximum...
View ArticleGalaxy Quest: Using Gravitational Potential to Determine the Propulsion...
The escape velocity from the Milky Way depends on the gravitational potential of the galaxy. We identified the propulsion methods that could be used to send a probe outside of the galaxy. The depth of...
View ArticleEvolution of Complex Variability in Soft-to-Hard X-ray Emissions From AGN
• Our research looked at how black holes in the centers of galaxies in the behaved when eating stars in two different X-ray energy levels. • We looked at 3 interesting sources called Centaurus A (Cen...
