1. Wavelength-dependent limb darkeningin the analysis oftransit spectroscopy of exoplanets
L3-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomiSammanfattning : Limb darkening, an optical effect characteristic of stars, where the limb (edge) seemsto be darker than the centre of the stellar body; plays an important role in our under-standing of exoplanetary transits, as it is fundamental for developing light curve modelsthat can help to undercover extrasolar companions. To recover atmospheric featuresfrom exoplanets, a principal component analysis method is typically used. LÄS MER
2. Simulations of the Tenuous Upper Atmospheres of Exoplanets
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenSammanfattning : 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. Black Holes of the First Stars
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomiSammanfattning : In this report, we constrain properties of foreground objects in the Milky Way that have the potential of being confused with accretion disks of Population III stellar- mass black holes at high redshift. Following Windhorst et al. (2018), a model for multicolour accretion disks of Population III stellar-mass black holes is presented. LÄS MER
4. The magnetic field of phi Draconis
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Observationell astrofysikSammanfattning : Within this past decade, advances in spectropolarimetric analyses allowed mapping surface characteristics of nearby non-resolved stars with unique characteristics. In this study, we attempt mapping of the magnetic field structure and surface distribution of elements for such a star, the magnetic Ap star phi Dra. LÄS MER
5. Spectroscopic model characterisation of hot exoplanet atmospheres
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenSammanfattning : Hot Jupiters are gas giants under intense stellar radiation with short orbital periods of only a few days. Due to their large radii, hot temperatures, and large scale heights, hot Jupiters can be observationally characterised in detail through spectroscopy over an entire orbital phase. LÄS MER
