The Design and Optimisation of Quasioptical Telescopes
… and on the HIFI instrument on the Herschel Space Observatory (HSO). MBI is a novel instrument designed to test the technique of bolometric nterferometry. ALMA is a 50 element hetrodyne interferometer, currently being constructed in Chile. It is demonstrated that in both MBI and …

Understanding the Earliest Stages of High-mass Star Formation
… W3 Giant Molecular Cloud (GMC), provided by the Herschel Space Observatory and for which Canada has lead responsibility within the Herschel programme. The Aquila analysis, combining BLAST and interferometry data, presents a full characterization of the main high-mass star forming clumps in this …

Advanced optical calibration of the Herschel HIFI heterodyne spectrometer
… the Far-Infrared (HIFI) was launched aboard the Herschel Space Observatory on the 14th of May 2009. HIFI's frequency range is spread over 7 mixer bands. Bands 1-5 (480-1270 GHz) use Superconducting-Insulator-Superconducting (SIS) mixer technology while bands 6 & 7 (1410-1910 GHz) use Hot Electron …

Constraining the Initial Conditions and Final Outcomes of Accretion Processes around Young Stars and Supermassive Black Holes
… ground using the SPIRE instrument onboard the Herschel Space Observatory. My work provides the first constraints on the flux of the accretion flow at 250 μm. Variations at 500, 350, and 250 μm observed with Herschel exhibit typical amplitudes similar to the variations observed at 1300 μm from …

The influence of planetary and stellar companions on debris discs
Around 20% of main-sequence stars are known to host debris discs composed of planetesimals and the dust produced in their collisions. The structures of these discs can be constrained through spectral energy distribution (SED) modelling or direct imaging of the dust. Gravitational perturbations in a …
