1. 1. Simulations of the Tenuous Upper Atmospheres of Exoplanets

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Lucian Spitzner; [2023]
   Keywords : astronomy; astrophyics; exoplanets; transmission spectroscopy; magnetic fields; atmospheres; ions; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : 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

3. 2. Spectroscopic model characterisation of hot exoplanet atmospheres

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Elin Sandvik; [2022]
   Keywords : Transit method; Transmission spectroscopy; Exoplanets; Hot Jupiter; Modelling; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : 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

4. 3. Secondary aerosol formation from dimethyl sulfide - Smog chamber experiments and detailed process modelling

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Dana Lüdemann; [2020]
   Keywords : aerosol modelling; atmospheric physics and chemistry; marine aerosols; ADCHAM; aerosol; dimethyl sulfide; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate the secondary aerosol formation from dimethylsulfide (DMS) using the aerosol dynamics, gas- and particle-phase chemistry kinetic multi-layer model, ADCHAM. The first simulations, concerning the butanol oxidation via hydroxyl radicals (OH), were performed to characterize the UV-light source of the AURA smog chamber (Aarhus university, Denmark), later used for the DMS experiments.

5. 4. Modeling of ozone and nitrogen oxides pollutions in urban air environments

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Henrik Reimer; [2018]
   Keywords : Ozone; Nitrogen oxides; NOx; Hydrocarbons; VOC; Urban environment; Model; Pollutions; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : As the air quality in urban environments is a rising problem, a deeper understanding of how air pollution is dependent on different factors is necessary. In these environments, there are different parameters that effect how the chemical reactions of the pollutants are proceeding. READ MORE

6. 5. Analyzing Meteorological Relationships to Aerosols in China

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik

   Author : Carl Svenhag; [2017]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Meteorological conditions are influenced everyday by air-bound aerosols and pollution in the atmosphere, and understanding these processes from micro to synoptic scale, is essential for forecasting and creating high resolution weather models. In this study, three different experimental weather models are analysed to provide some understanding on how various meteorological parameters are influenced by modelling atmospheric aerosols.
