1. 1. Measuring copper abundances in the Galactic Bulge

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

   Författare :Nikolei Höglinger; [2024]
   Nyckelord :Copper; Galaxy: abundances; Galaxy: bulge; Chemical Evolution; Physics and Astronomy;

   Sammanfattning : Context: The chemical evolution of Cu in the Galactic bulge have been studied in a few studies using red giant branch stars, but the ages of individual red giant stars are difficult to determine. In addition, the bulge has been a challenging region of the Milky Way galaxy to obtain high-resolution spectra of stars, except when observing through certain few small fields into the bulge that are known to have low extinction.

3. 2. The quest for a classical bulge - a study of kinematics, abundances, and ages using microlensed dwarf stars and Gaia

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

   Författare :Calum Kvernes Macpherson; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Bulge; Milky Way; Kinematics; Galpy; Dwarf Stars; Physics and Astronomy;

   Sammanfattning : Context: We present an kinematical analysis of 90 F and G type dwarf, turn-off, and subgiant stars in the Galactic bulge. These stars were observed with high-resolution spectrographs during gravitational microlensing events This allowed for their ages, abundances, and radial velocities to be ascertained while they were significantly brighter.

4. 3. Origin of blue straggler stars in the Milky Way halo

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

   Författare :Adam Brcek; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Blue Straggler; Galactic Halo; Spectroscopic Surveys; Binary Star Evolution; Mass Transfer; Physics and Astronomy;

   Sammanfattning : Blue straggler stars (BSSs) are exotic stellar objects that appear to be younger than the age of the population they come from suggests. They are observed as the extension of the main sequence stars, beyond the turn-off point. LÄS MER

5. 4. Can Dwarf Galaxies Tell Us How the Milky Way Formed?

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

   Författare :Þóra Karlsdóttir; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Dwarf Galaxy; Milky Way; Physics and Astronomy;

   Sammanfattning : Dwarf galaxies are a key component in understanding the evolution of galaxies and provide tests on the standard cosmological $\Lambda$ Cold Dark Matter model. According to the formation hierarchy, dwarf galaxies are the pieces that create all galaxies. Our current understanding of dwarf galaxies faces discrepancies between theory and observations. LÄS MER

7. 5. Starbursts at Cosmic Dawn : Formation of Globular Clusters, Ultra-Faint Dwarfs, and Population III star clusters at z > 6

   Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för astronomi

   Författare :Olof Nebrin; [2022]
   Nyckelord :Cosmology; Galaxy Formation; Globular Clusters; First Stars; Dark Matter; Cosmic Dawn; Reionization; Ultra-Faint Dwarfs;

   Sammanfattning : In the standard model of cosmology (ΛCDM) the first stars, star clusters, and galaxies are expected to have formed in short bursts of star formation in low-mass dark matter halos at high redshifts (). Up to this point, attempts to predict the properties and abundances of these luminous objects have made use of numerically expensive cosmological simulations. LÄS MER
