  1. 1. Simulation-based discrimination of Crab pulsar models with XL-Calibur

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Dennis Åkerström; [2024]
    Keywords : Astroparticle Physics; Astrophysics; Detector Physics; Simulation; Theoretical Physics; Engineering Physics; Pulsar models; Crab pulsar; Astropartikelfysik; Astropartikelfysik; Detektorfysik; Simulering; Teoretisk Fysik; Teknisk Fysik; Pulsar modeller; Krabbpulsaren;

    Abstract : Polarisation of X-ray light is being investigated with polarimeters to extend the borders of what can be observed. Distant compact objects, such as pulsars, that are to small on the sky to be analysed with imaging can be investigated by analysing the polarisation of the emitted light. This can reveal physics previously hidden by their small nature. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Support Structure and Expanding Mechanisms for a Photovoltaics Installation on a Wave Power Float

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Keywords : WEC; Solar Panels; Expandable mechanism; Photovoltaics; Wave Power; WEC; Solpaneler; Expanderbar mekanism; Fotovoltaik; Vågkraft;

    Abstract : This report presents a master's thesis conducted within the machine design track at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. The research work was undertaken in collaboration with Novige AB, who commissioned the project. READ MORE

  6. 5. Can Dwarf Galaxies Tell Us How the Milky Way Formed?

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

    Author : Þóra Karlsdóttir; [2023]
    Keywords : Dwarf Galaxy; Milky Way; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Dwarf galaxies are a key component in understanding the evolution of galaxies and provide tests on the standard cosmological $\Lambda$ Cold Dark Matter model. According to the formation hierarchy, dwarf galaxies are the pieces that create all galaxies. Our current understanding of dwarf galaxies faces discrepancies between theory and observations. READ MORE
