1. 1. Properties of Near-Infrared Type Ia Supernovae Light Curves

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Observationell astrofysik

   Author : Timothy Faerber; [2020]
   Keywords : Supernova; SNe Ia; Cosmology; Photometry; NIR;

   Abstract : As a result of the standardizability of SNe Ia light curves over a wide range of photometric bands, they are used as standard candles to accurately measure distances in the cosmos up to z ≈ 1 [22]. As dust extinction is smaller in the NIR than in the optical [21] there is less dispersion seen in the peak brightnesses of SNe Ia, making them truly standard candles. READ MORE

3. 2. Type-1 Active Falactic Nuclei and their Supernovae

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk astrofysik

   Author : Inigo Imaz Chacon; [2019]
   Keywords : SN; AGN; supernova; counts; star formation; astronomy; type-1 AGN; obscured; thermonuclear; core-collapsed;

   Abstract : Supernovae (SNe) and more specifically Core-Collapsed SNe (CC SNe) are signatures of on-going star formation (SF), and higher star formation rates. In this project, we perform a study of all SNe ever discovered inside a specific type of galaxy: a type-1 Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN1). READ MORE

4. 3. Potassium in the Galactic thin and thick discs

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Carina Norregaard; [2018]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : To understand the evolution of our galaxy, the chemical abundance patterns and trends within the stars of the different regions are explored. The process of synthesizing these elements reveals key details about the way the stars and, therefore, the galaxy formed. READ MORE
