Exploring Geometries of Circumstellar Disks
Supervisor: Dr. Carol Jones
Can extent to MSc?: Yes
Project Description (Abstract):
My research focuses on disks surrounding massive stars. For this project, the student will explore the effects of different disk geometries using an existing code that allows the disk to be warped, tilted, truncated, or have density enhancements. Then, using another code, the student will predict how these changes in disk geometry affect the spectral line features and compare with work in the literature.
