Cirrus Color Variations Due to Enhanced Radiation Fields

We have investigated the variations in 12/100, 25/100, 60/100, and 12/25 μm colors for seven main-sequence B stars and three F and G supergiants associated with infrared cirrus. All sources displayed an increase in 60/100 color above the background cirrus color. In two of the sources, Apodis and HR 890, the 12/100 and 25/100 colors decline toward the embedded star in a similar fashion to the IR colors of S264 and the Rosette Nebula. Current grain models composed of equilibrium-heated submicron grains, transiently heated small grains, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons cannot account for the color variations observed around Aps and HR 890. The supergiants exhibited 12/100 and 25/100 increases, suggesting that the color deficits observed for the B stars are due to an enhancement in the soft UV component of the radiation field only. A candidate explanation for the color variations is a conglomerate small grain component, composed of very small grains and/or large molecules, that is fragmented in the enhanced radiation field around Aps and HR 890

Violence in the Theatre of Martin McDonagh

This thesis investigates two violent plays by the London-born playwright Martin McDonagh, The Lieutenant of Inishmore and A Very, Very, Very Dark Matter. Considering these texts from a post-colonial and phenomenological perspective, this thesis investigates how violence operates within each text. Chapter One opens by establishing the playwright’s attitude towards theatre. The thesis then defines working parameters for post-colonial theatre, presence, phenomenology and violence. A literature review is then undertaken to outline the current field on the playwright. Drawing on the breadth of scholarly research already established, Chapter Two examines violence in McDonagh’s 2001 play The Lieutenant of Inishmore. This chapter reveals the farcical structure which contains the play’s violence. Using this, the thesis considers how this alters the representation of the characters committing the violence. Chapter Two considers the justification of violence within the colonial context of the play and the phenomenological aspects which illuminate different aspects of violence within the text. Chapter Three approaches McDonagh’s 2018 play A Very, Very, Very Dark Matter from a similar angle and investigates the justification of violence, its colonial context and nineteenth century Dickensian sentimentality. Because of the sparse academic research on this play, this thesis compares and extends ideas using the conclusions reached in Chapter Two. Lastly, the fourth chapter draws conclusions about McDonagh’s significant use of dismemberment, the presence of violence within language and unique aspects of theatre to determine how violence is operating in the respective texts. The thesis then proposes an answer to why McDonagh may be choosing to return to a medium he has expressed distaste fo
