1. Wavelength-dependent limb darkeningin the analysis oftransit spectroscopy of exoplanets
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomiAbstract : 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. READ MORE

2. Finding new members of the VelHel-4 stream
University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)Abstract : 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. READ MORE

3. Simulations of the Tenuous Upper Atmospheres of Exoplanets
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : 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. READ MORE

4. Prototyping of an automated cyclic Neutron Activation Analysis setup
University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : A prototype Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) setup based on a Deuterium-Tritium (DT) neutron generator is under development at Lund University. It serves as proof-of-principle for NAA based on a Compact Accelerator-driven Neutron Source. READ MORE

5. Spectroscopic model characterisation of hot exoplanet atmospheres
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : 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. READ MORE
