1. The visibility of stellar transients in the Galactic Centre
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : A semi-analytical simulation was developed to evaluate the K-band magnitudes of Red Giants [0.96 - 1.02 M⊙] orbiting the supermassive black hole in the galactic centre. The model assumed star formation between 10-12 Gyrs ago and by following the IMF and applying a random age condition, a stellar population was created. READ MORE
