  1. 1. The visibility of stellar transients in the Galactic Centre

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

    Författare :Jonathan Ström; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Physics and Astronomy;

    Sammanfattning : 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. 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. Resolving the smallest scale of star formation at Cosmic Noon with JWST : Star-forming clumps in a galaxy lensed by Abell 2744

    Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för astronomi

    Författare :Annalena Pless; [2023]
    Nyckelord :star formation; star-forming clumps; galaxy evolution;

    Sammanfattning : At higher redshift galaxies exhibit increasingly irregular and clumpy morphologies, withstar-forming clumps dominating the FUV output of their host galaxies thus being inti-mately related to star formation and the formation and evolution of galaxies. This workexamines star-forming clumps in a remarkable, young spiral galaxy at Cosmic Noon witha redshift ofz= 2. LÄS MER

  5. 5. The chemical evolution of the Milky Way: pushing APOGEE to higher precision and accuracy

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

    Författare :Erik Fridén; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Physics and Astronomy;

    Sammanfattning : In the recent decade, a rapid increase in all-sky spectroscopic surveys has occurred, and with it, the wealth of observational data and information on our Galaxy. Consequently, numerous detections of new structures, such as new open clusters, accreted and in-situ components, are discovered. LÄS MER
