Abstract:
The submillimetre continuum radiation from astronomical sources is often linearly polarised due either to the synchrotron radiation from relativistic electrons spiraling along magnetic field lines or thermal radiation from aspherical magnetically aligned dust grains. Measurements of the degree and direction of linear polarisation can yield useful and unique information on the physical conditions prevailing in the source and its environs. This thesis describes the development of a submillimetre polarimeter for the continuum receiver UKT14 on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). The polarim

Abstract:
Pour réaliser vers 1865 la seconde grande synthèse de la physique classique, Maxwell a emprunté à Ampère le schéma d'interaction entre circuits, l'hypothèse des courants dans les aimants et l’équation solénoïdale. Chez Faraday, il trouve un contenu empirique étendu relatif aux diélectriques et à l'induction, ainsi que l'idée du champ associé à une action de proche en proche. L'extension et la formalisation de ces notions s’effectue d'abord selon le support de modèles mécaniques, puis par l'introduction du courant de déplacements, hypothèse destinée, en l'absence d'une connaissance précise des

Abstract:
Atualmente o potencial vetor é geralmente tratado no eletromagnetismo clássico como um artifício para o cálculo dos campos elétricos e magnéticos sem um significado claro. No entanto, quando foi proposto na metade do século XIX, ele possuía um significado físico claro e desempenhava um papel central para Faraday, Maxwell e outros físicos britânicos. Um dos objetivos deste trabalho é entender como se deu esta mudança na interpretação do conceito de potencial vetor. Para isto foi realizado um estudo histórico analisando as diferentes interpretações para este conceito partindo dos trabalhos de Fa

Abstract:
Recent observations at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) and elsewhere have identified a class of very deeply embedded, possibly protostellar, sources which are not associated with any of the traditional indicators of star formation, such as HII regions and near-infrared emission, but which do lie close to otherwise isolated H2O masers. This thesis describes a search, based on catalogues of known water maser positions, for new deeply embedded cores similar to those found in S106 and M17.

I primarily use Submillimeter Common-User Bolometer Array 2 (SCUBA-2) observations from the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) Gould Belt legacy Survey (GBS) of nearby star-forming regions. I analyse this data in conjunction with catalogues of candidate young stellar objects (YSOcs) from mid-infrared surveys with Spitzer IRAC and MIPS surveys. I use the ratio of SCUBA-2 fluxes to calcul

Abstract:
My dissertation examines the representations of materialism -- a philosophy stereotypically associated with a reductive, anti-theological and mechanistic world-picture -- in the published prose and (typically) unpublished poetry of several figures central to scientific discourse in the latter half of the nineteenth century, most notably W. K. Clifford, a mathematician, and John Tyndall, a physicist and media-savvy ‘champion of science’. These engagements, and representations, were not merely on the level of ‘direct’ argumentation, however. A self-consciously allusive, even polyphonous tone was

Abstract:
Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTS) is one of the premier ways to collect source information through emitted radiation. It is so named because the principal measurement technique involves the analysis of spectra determined from the Fourier transform of a time-domain interference pattern. Given options in the field, many space- and ground-based instruments have selected Fourier transform spectrometers for their measurements. The Herschel Space Observatory, launched on May 14, 2009, has three on-board instruments. One, SPIRE, comprises a FTS paired with bolometer detector arrays. SCUBA-2

It is proposed that the unusual combination of electricity’s historical characterisation as an elixir vitae, intense investigation by contemporary scientists, and close

Abstract:
Though there has been a considerable amount of work investigating the early stages of low-mass star formation in recent years, the general theory is only broadly understood and several open questions remain. Specifically, the dominant physical mechanisms which connect large-scale molecular cloud structures, intermediate-scale filamentary gas flows, and small-scale collapsing prestellar envelopes in the interstellar medium are poorly constrained. Even for an individual forming protostar, the evolution of the mass accretion rate from the envelope onto the central object is debated with li
