  1. 21. 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

  3. 22. Search for transiting exoplanets in globular clusters

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

    Författare :Oskar Nilsson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Physics and Astronomy;

    Sammanfattning : This project consists of a transit search in the Messier 3 Globular cluster with the goal to assess the difficulties of observing planetary transits in globular clusters. M3 was observed for a short period of time and by performing PSF fitting, flux measurements could be done to extract light curves of the 290 stars that are included in this project. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Hyper-velocity stars from globular clusters hosting intermediate-mass black holes

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

    Författare :Matilda Skantz; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Hypervelocity stars; run-away stars; stellar binary; intermediate mass black hole; globular cluster; Hills mechanism; Physics and Astronomy;

    Sammanfattning : In 1988 Hills proposed that stars can gain velocities above 500 km s−1 if they are in a stellar binary which gets disrupted by a super massive black hole (SMBH). One of the stars would get trapped in an elliptical orbit around the SMBH while the other gets ejected and obtains a relatively high velocity. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Combining Hipparcos and Gaia data: Improved Astrometric Calculations With Orvara

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

    Författare :Melvin Tham; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Astrometry; Af Leporis; Smethells 119; Gliese 105; Gliese 86; Orvara; Hipparcos; Gaia; Physics and Astronomy;

    Sammanfattning : Hipparcos and Gaia are two missions intended to catalogue positions and motions of stellar objects. Orvara is a computer program which aims to combine the data from these two missions to calculate Keplerian parameters for stellar systems. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Finding stars that are likely to be from accreted satellite galaxies

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

    Författare :Helena Cronstedt; [2023]
    Nyckelord :galaxy mergers; merger debris; velocity space; Physics and Astronomy;

    Sammanfattning : The Milky Way galaxy has through its lifetime merged with several smaller galaxies in its surroundings. Merger events like these play an important role in the formation of galaxies and are therefore of great interest to better our understanding of galaxy formation. LÄS MER
