Model of compact star with ordinary and darkmatter
(Springer Nature, 2020)We study compact stars formed by dark and ordinary matter, with attributes of both neutron star matter and quark star matter. We assume an equation of state for dark matter which is consistent with the rotational ... -
Modern African nuclear detector laboratory: Development of state-of-the-art in-house detector facility at the University of the Western Cape
(SpringerLink, 2021)The upcoming detector facility aims at developing new state-of-the-art particle detectors as well as providing hands-on training to postgraduate students using both analog and digital signal processing from nuclear radiation ... -
Mufasa: The assembly of the red sequence
(Oxford University Press, 2017)We examine the growth and evolution of quenched galaxies in the Mufasa cosmo- logical hydrodynamic simulations that include an evolving halo mass-based quench- ing prescription, with galaxy colours computed accounting ... -
MUFASA: The strength and evolution of galaxy conformity in various tracers
(Oxford University Press, 2017)We investigate galaxy conformity using the Mufasa cosmological hydrodynamical simulation. We show a bimodal distribution in galaxy colour with radius, albeit with too many low-mass quenched satellite galaxies compared ... -
Multi-instrument observations of large-scale atmospheric gravity waves/traveling ionospheric disturbances associated with enhanced auroral activity over Svalbard
(Elsevier, 2019-09-03)This study reports on observations of large-scale atmospheric gravity waves/traveling ionospheric disturbances (AGWs/TIDs) using Global Positioning System (GPS) total electron content (TEC) and Fabry–Perot Interferometer’s ... -
Multi-scale perturbation theory II: Solutions and leading-order bispectrum in the ΛcDM universe
(IOP Publishing, 2021)Two-parameter perturbation theory (2PPT) is a framework designed to include the relativistic gravitational effects of small-scale nonlinear structures on the large-scale properties of the Universe. In this paper we use ... -
Multi-scale perturbation theory. Part I. Methodology and leading-order bispectrum corrections in the matter-dominated era
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020)Two-parameter perturbation theory is a scheme tailor-made to consistently include nonlinear density contrasts on small scales (< 100 Mpc), whilst retaining a traditional approach to cosmological perturbations in the ... -
Multi-wavelength properties of radio- and machine-learning-identified counterparts to submillimeter sources in s2cosmos
(The Astrophysical Journal, 2019)We identify multi-wavelength counterparts to 1147 submillimeter sources from the S2COSMOS SCUBA-2 survey of the COSMOS field by employing a recently developed radio+machine-learning method trained on a large sample of ... -
Multifilter observations of the complex periodic variations in eight pre-main sequence stars
(Royal Astronomical Society, 2023)Follow up time series photometry through various combinations of the BVRCIC filter set is presented for eight young stars. The complex periodic variability of seven of the stars was first discovered in TESS photometry, ... -
Multifilter time-series observations of eleven blue short-period atlas variable stars
(IOP Publishing, 2023)Eleven periodic variable stars were observed photometrically through two to four filters from the set UBVRCIC. Phase-folded data for each star cover full cycles of variation. Spectral energy distributions, based on ... -
Multimodality and new materialism in science learning: Exploring insights from an introductory physics lesson
(Unisa Press, 2021)Science disciplines are inherently multimodal, involving written and spoken language, bodily gestures, symbols, diagrams, sketches, simulation and mathematical formalism. Studies have shown that ... -
Multipole expansion for 21 cm intensity mapping power spectrum: forecasted cosmological parameters estimation for the ska observatory
(Oxford University Press, 2023)The measurement of the large-scale distribution of neutral hydrogen in the late Universe, obtained with radio telescopes through the hydrogen 21 cm line emission, has the potential to become a key cosmological probe in the ... -
Multipole expansion for H I intensity mapping experiments: simulations and modelling
(Oxford University Press, 2020)We present a framework and an open-source PYTHON toolkit to analyse the two-point statistics of 3D fluctuations in the context of H I intensity maps using the multipole expansion formalism. We include simulations of the ... -
Multipoles of the relativistic galaxy bispectrum
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020)Above the equality scale the galaxy bispectrum will be a key probe for measuring primordial non-Gaussianity which can help differentiate between different inflationary models and other theories of the early universe. On ... -
The neutral hydrogen content of galaxies in cosmological hydrodynamic simulations
(Oxford University Press, 2013)We examine the global HI properties of galaxies in quarter billion particle cosmological simulations using GADGET-2, focusing on howgalactic outflows impactHI content.We consider four outflow models, including a new one ... -
A new auroral phenomenon, the anti-black aurora
(Nature, 2021)Black auroras are small-scale features embedded in the diffuse background aurora, typically occurring post-substorm after magnetic midnight and with an eastward drift imposed. Black auroras show a significant reduction in ... -
New constraints on primordial features from the galaxy two-point correlation function
(Physical Review, 2023)Features in the primordial power spectrum represent the imprinted signal in the density perturbations of the physics and evolution of the early Universe. A measurement of such signals will represents the need to go beyond ... -
New formulas for the (−2) moment of the photoabsorption cross section, σ−2
(American Physical Society, 2015)Two new formulas for the (−2) moment of the photoabsorption cross section, σ−2, have been determined, respectively, from the 1988 photoneutron evaluation of Dietrich and Berman and a mass-dependent symmetry energy ... -
A New Model For Including Galactic Winds in Simulations of Galaxy Formation II: Implementation of PhEW in Cosmological Simulations
