  1. 1. Performance Evaluation of a 3D Printed Mirror Actuator : A Comparison with the James Webb Space Telescope

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Louise Leopoldsson; Ellen Lindsjö; [2023]
    Keywords : Actuator; James Webb Space Telescope;

    Abstract : This study aims to investigate the similarities in precision and performance between a James WebbSpace Telescope mirror actuator, the part controlling the motion of the primary mirror segments,and two 3D printed replicas. The two replicas were made from the plastics PLA and PETGand based on the designs of Zachary Tong. READ MORE

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Aulon Nura; Isac Engblom; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The creation of life has puzzled humanity since the dawn of time. With the launch of thecutting-edge James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) at last year's closing, the next step in humanity'ssearch for life has been taken. READ MORE

  4. 3. Deriving Spectral Maps from JWST Data : A Study of Enceladus’ Plumes

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Stephan Weissenböck; [2023]
    Keywords : Data Analysis; Enceladus; Plumes; Atmosphere; JWST; NIRSpec; IFU; Infrared spectroscopy; Dataanalys; Enceladus; plym; atmosfär; JWST; NIRSpec; IFU; infraröd spektroskopi;

    Abstract : This study investigates the presence of water vapor plumes in the region south of Enceladus, a moon in the Saturnian system, through observations conducted by the James Webb Space Telescope. Enceladus is believed to harbor a subsurface ocean or localized water reservoir that gives rise to water geysers, expelling vapor into its tenuous atmosphere and outer space. READ MORE

  5. 4. Using the James Webb Space Telescope to Find Carbon Dioxide on Ganymede

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Olof Helgesson; Oscar Lundin; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to search for CO₂ on Ganymede by studyingobservations taken by the James Webb Space Telescope and in doing so, create aprocessing pipeline for JWST data. The data is collected by JWST's Near InfraredSpectrograph instrument which is used for spectroscopy in the near infrared spectrum. READ MORE

  6. 5. Properties of the Optical Hot Spots in the Circumstellar Ring of SN 1987A

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Christos Tegkelidis; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The proximity of Supernova 1987A provides a great opportunity to study the aftermath of the impact of the ejecta with the dense clumps (observed as ”hot spots”) located in the equatorial circumstellar ring. This thesis examines the properties of the clumps by using Hubble Space Telescope optical imaging taken with the F625W and F675W broad filters between 1994 and 2022. READ MORE
