  1. 1. Dwarf Galaxies in the Galactic Potential as probes of its internal structure

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Arn Marklund; [2022]
    Keywords : Numerical integration; Stellar Streams; Dwarf Galaxies; Dark Matter; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Satellite galaxies on bound orbits around the Milky Way (MW) are constantly subject to tidal forces from the MW. If the tidal forces are large enough, they may strip the outermost stars of the satellite, that in turn distribute themselves in long elongated stellar streams. READ MORE

  3. 2. Modelling stellar streams around the Milky Way

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Hyerin Jang; [2021]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Stellar streams around the Milky Way (MW) have been observed by wide sky surveys, and studied to understand the mass distribution of the MW. This is because streams are formed by a disruption of a globular cluster or a dwarf galaxy under the influence of the gravitational field of the MW. READ MORE

  4. 3. Observing stellar streams made in a supercomputer

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Erik Fridén; [2021]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Stellar streams are made of stars that originate from globular clusters or dwarf satellite galaxies that have been disturbed by the gravitational pull from the galaxy they orbit. These stellar streams hold information about the history of the progenitor as well as information about the gravitational potential of the host galaxy. READ MORE

  5. 4. Fast Simulations of Star Cluster Evolution

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Lina Warntoft; [2019]
    Keywords : star cluster simulation numerical method; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The evolution of globular star clusters tells the history of the formation of galaxies, how stellar streams might have formed and how the future of the Universe might look like. Although the general theoretical background of the evolution is well understood, it is difficult to conduct accurate and realistic computer simulations of objects containing thousands of interacting bodies.

  6. 5. Tidal Power

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

    Author : Fritiof Lembke; Tarek Penser; [2017]
    Keywords : Minesto; modellering; tidvattenkraft;

    Abstract : Tidal power is a relatively new area within renewable energy with great potential in some areas of the world. One of the companies working with this is Minesto, and they have developed a technology called Deep Green that uses a kite that is attached to the seabed to generate electricity. READ MORE
