1. 1. Finding new members of the VelHel-4 stream

   Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Författare :Lucas Johansson; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Galactic Archaeology; Milky Way; Stellar Streams; Streams; Stellar Halo; Stars; Globular Cluster; Astronomy; Astrophysics; Gaia; Chemical Abundance; Spectroscopy;

   Sammanfattning : According to the paradigm of lambda-CDM cosmology, the stellar halo ofour Galaxy has been built-up over time through the accretion of other galaxiesand star clusters. The remnants of some of these are still observable today asstellar streams, but are typically very faint and difficult to resolve amidst the farmore numerous foreground Milky Way stars. LÄS MER

3. 2. Lithium abundances through distinct stellar populations in Omega Centauri

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

   Författare :Brais Gesto Herrera; [2023]
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The renowned Omega Centauri (NGC 5139) is one of the most massive and complex known globular clusters in terms of multiple populations. In this project, we aim to investigate the chemical abundance of lithium in RBG stars in this cluster in pursuit of unraveling the that govern the formation of these distinct populations. LÄS MER

4. 3. 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

5. 4. 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

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
