1. The visibility of stellar transients in the Galactic Centre
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/AstrofysikSammanfattning : A semi-analytical simulation was developed to evaluate the K-band magnitudes of Red Giants [0.96 - 1.02 M⊙] orbiting the supermassive black hole in the galactic centre. The model assumed star formation between 10-12 Gyrs ago and by following the IMF and applying a random age condition, a stellar population was created. LÄS MER
2. Investigating a possible dearth of stars with zero angular momentum in the solar neighbourhood.
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenSammanfattning : Background. Carlberg & Innanen (1987) first proposed the idea of measuring the solar re- flex velocity (the velocity of the Sun around the galactic centre), Vg,⊙, using the momenta of the stars in the solar neighbourhood. The proposal was a consequence of the work of L. LÄS MER
3. The Metallicity Structure of the Milky Way Halo II : Characterising the distant halo substructure
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Observationell astrofysikSammanfattning : The Milky Way galaxy, like all spiral galaxies, is surrounded by a roughly spherical distribution of stars called the halo. The halo was largely formed when the galaxy merged with smaller galaxies. LÄS MER
4. Stellar Encounters at the Galactic Centre
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisationSammanfattning : Using methods of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) an N -body simulation was set-up to investigate stellar encounters between a 1 solar-mass main sequence (MS) star, modeled after the Sun, and a 0.6 solar-mass white dwarf (WD). This was done primarily to investigate the assumptions made by Mastrobuono-Battisti et al. LÄS MER
5. Making Hypervelocity Stars
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisationSammanfattning : In this thesis, I investigate if the binaries that are being tidally disrupted by means of the Hills mechanism, producing hypervelocity stars, could have been transported to the galactic centre by two-body scattering. To survive a scattering event, the binary must be hard, meaning that the binding energy of the binary is higher than the kinetic energy of the collider. LÄS MER
