  1. 1. A cross-correlation analysis of a warm super-Neptune using transit spectroscopy

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Författare :Elias Önerud; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Cross-correlation; cross-correlation spectroscopy; cross-correlation analysis; super-Neptune; astronomy; astrophysics; WASP-107; WASP-107 b; CRIRES ; SysRem; exoplanet; transmission spectrum; transit;

    Sammanfattning : A study was made in order to deduce whether certain chemical species, namely water (H2O) and carbon monoxide (CO), are present in the atmosphere of the exoplanet WASP-107 b, which lies about 200 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Virgo. The project was carried out at Uppsala University at the Department of Physics and Astronomy. LÄS MER

  2. 2. Quality Assessment of the Fabry-Pérot Wavelength Calibration for CRIRES+ : Student Project Report

    L3-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Observationell astrofysik

    Författare :Christopher Borchert; [2023]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The data reduction software of CRIRES+, a new high-resolution spectrometer installed at VLT, features a calibration routine that uses data from a Fabry-Pérot étalon. The quality of this calibration mode is assessed in this project report. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Probing the Structure of Ionised ISM in Lyman-Continuum-Leaking Green Pea Galaxies with MUSE

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Författare :Chinmaya Nagar; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Emission-line ratio; Gaussian convolution; Green pea galaxies; ISM; Ionised ISM; Lyman continuum LyC ; Low-Redshift Lyman Continuum Survey LzLCS ; Lyman continuum emitter LCE ; LyC escape; LyC escape fraction; MUSE; MPDAF; Voronoi binning;

    Sammanfattning : Lyman continuum (LyC) photons are known to be responsible for reionising the universe after the end of the Dark Ages, which marked a period called the Epoch of Reionisation (EoR). While these high-energy photons are thought to predominantly originate from young, hot, massive stars within the earliest galaxies, and contributions from high-energy sources like quasars and AGN, the origins of these photons are yet not well known and highly debated.

  4. 4. Simulations of the Tenuous Upper Atmospheres of Exoplanets

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Författare :Lucian Spitzner; [2023]
    Nyckelord :astronomy; astrophyics; exoplanets; transmission spectroscopy; magnetic fields; atmospheres; ions; Physics and Astronomy;

    Sammanfattning : Over the last decade, the interest in research on extraterrestrial planets has expanded dramatically. With the number of confirmed exoplanets having increased tenfold over the last ten years, we now know that many different types of exoplanets exist. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Planning Observations of Terrestrial ExoplanetsAround M Type Stars with CRIRES+

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Observationell astrofysik

    Författare :Jonas Zbinden; [2021]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : In recent decades, thousands of exoplanets have been discovered. The next step is to characterize theobserved planets in terms of their radii, masses, density, physical conditions and composition of theiratmospheres. LÄS MER
