Analyzing the Membership Ratio of RR Lyrae Variables in Globular Clusters with Gaia Data

Journal of Emerging Investigators

(In press.) In this research, membership ratios of RR Lyrae (RRL) stars in 20 globular clusters are calculated, and their correlation with cluster properties is highlighted. It is concluded that three factors play an essential role in deciding the ratio of RRL variables to the number of stars in the home cluster, which are the cluster age, cluster radius, and metallicity, listed in order of descending impact. It is hypothesized that the formation of RRL stars is correlated with tidal forces and properties of the home galaxy.

Force Model and Experimental Analysis of a Simple Straw Pump

Journal of High School Science

A low-cost centrifugal pump made by folding a straw into a triangle, immersing it into water and spinning it serves both as a DIY demonstration and as a pragmatic water sprinkler. A point-mass model is examined to describe the dynamics of water droplets, followed by correcting it with fluid dynamics. This research reveals insights into the design of fire sprinklers.
