  1. 1. A quantitative analysis of plume gas distributions from different detection studies on Europa

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Författare :Anujan Ranganathan; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Europa; Water; Plume distribution; Surface Density; Column Density; Total number of molecules; Europa; Vatten; Plym Distribution; Ytdensitet; Kolumndensitet; Total mängd molekyler;

    Sammanfattning : The search for water has been vital in our solar system as water indicates a potential for life. The search has been extended to satellites orbiting the outer planets. It has already been proven that water exists on Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, where the spacecraft Cassini did a flyby through a water plume. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Planes of satellite galaxies

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Författare :Jessica Laura Erika Kocher; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Physics and Astronomy;

    Sammanfattning : The Planes of Satellites Problem is an open question within the field of galaxy formation. It is based on the observations that the Milky Way's satellites, as well as those around the Andromeda (M31) galaxy, align in planes. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The Milky Way and its Exoplanets

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Författare :Jesper Nielsen; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Planets and Satellites; Exoplanets; Occurrence Rates; Physics and Astronomy;

    Sammanfattning : The detections of over 4000 exoplanets as of today has shown that they exist in a wide range of different configurations, otherwise known as architectures. Recently, studies have been made trying to link the environment of host stars to the architectures of their planetary systems and have found that the architectures of planetary systems may not necessarily be uniform in the Milky Way.

  5. 4. Europa's Lyman-Alpha Shadow on Jupiter

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Författare :Johan Ferm; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Europa moon ; Jupiter; water; plumes; Solar System; planets; satellites; hydrogen; Lyman-alpha; Europa måne ; Jupiter; vatten; plymer; solsystemet; skugga; planeter; satelliter; väte; Lyman-alpha;

    Sammanfattning : Europa is one of the most interesting satellites in the solar system in the search ofextra-terrestrial life, as it harbours an interior water ocean under its icy surface. Watervapour in Europa’s atmosphere has been previously observed, suggesting water plumeeruptions from the surface. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Planet migration in evolving protoplanetary discs

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Författare :Linn Eriksson; [2018]
    Nyckelord :Planets and satellites: formation; Protoplanetary discs: evolution; Planet-disc interactions; Physics and Astronomy;

    Sammanfattning : The rate of migration and accretion onto protoplanets is greatly influenced by the structure of the surrounding protoplanetary disc. This structure changes with time as the disc evolves on a million year timescale, implying that the process of planet formation might look very different depending on when it was initiated. LÄS MER
