1. 1. Measuring copper abundances in the Galactic Bulge

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

   Author : Nikolei Höglinger; [2024]
   Keywords : Copper; Galaxy: abundances; Galaxy: bulge; Chemical Evolution; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Context: The chemical evolution of Cu in the Galactic bulge have been studied in a few studies using red giant branch stars, but the ages of individual red giant stars are difficult to determine. In addition, the bulge has been a challenging region of the Milky Way galaxy to obtain high-resolution spectra of stars, except when observing through certain few small fields into the bulge that are known to have low extinction.

3. 2. The quest for a classical bulge - a study of kinematics, abundances, and ages using microlensed dwarf stars and Gaia

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

   Author : Calum Kvernes Macpherson; [2023]
   Keywords : Bulge; Milky Way; Kinematics; Galpy; Dwarf Stars; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Context: We present an kinematical analysis of 90 F and G type dwarf, turn-off, and subgiant stars in the Galactic bulge. These stars were observed with high-resolution spectrographs during gravitational microlensing events This allowed for their ages, abundances, and radial velocities to be ascertained while they were significantly brighter.

4. 3. Probing Charm Production with Three-Particle Correlations in pp Collisions

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik

   Author : Kim Haupt; [2023]
   Keywords : pp collisions; charm production; three-particle correlation; Pythia; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to investigate possible correlations between charm production and baryon production in proton-proton collisions through three-particle correlations. The question attempted to be answered is where, for a given charmed baryon, the balancing anti-charm particle and balancing anti-baryon are located. READ MORE

5. 4. Lithium abundances through distinct stellar populations in Omega Centauri

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

   Author : Brais Gesto Herrera; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The renowned Omega Centauri (NGC 5139) is one of the most massive and complex known globular clusters in terms of multiple populations. In this project, we aim to investigate the chemical abundance of lithium in RBG stars in this cluster in pursuit of unraveling the that govern the formation of these distinct populations. READ MORE

6. 5. The chemical evolution of the Milky Way: pushing APOGEE to higher precision and accuracy

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

   Author : Erik Fridén; [2023]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : In the recent decade, a rapid increase in all-sky spectroscopic surveys has occurred, and with it, the wealth of observational data and information on our Galaxy. Consequently, numerous detections of new structures, such as new open clusters, accreted and in-situ components, are discovered. READ MORE
