    • Decoding the kinematic and ionisation structure of axisymmetric nebulae 

      Fitzgerald, Karol (NUI Galway, 2021-08-04)
      The aim of the thesis was to develop a code and pipeline for generating 3D photoionisation models of axisymmetric nebulae to better understand their ob- served structure and composition. This was achieved through a new ...

    • A morpho-kinematic and spectroscopic study of bipolar planetary nebulae 

      Clyne, Niall (2015-09-28)
      In this thesis, studies of the kinematic properties for a sample of Galactic bipolar planetary nebulae, based on optical and infrared observations, were performed us- ing a morpho–kinematic code, optical and NIR diagnostic ...

    • Planet engulfment and the planetary nebula morphology mystery 

      Boyle, Laura (NUI Galway, 2018-04-13)
      This thesis presents an investigation into the galactic population of planetary nebulae (PNe) whose progenitors have evolved through the engulfment of massive planets during the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase of their ...

    • Radiative transfer of star formation and destruction regions 

      Guegan, Nevenoe (NUI Galway, 2022-12-14)
      While star formation and destruction may lie at the opposite ends of a star's life cycle, they display remarkable similarities. Both star forming regions and pre-planetary nebulae can be detected by observing molecular ...
