1. 6. 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.

3. 7. Multi-Data Approach for Subsurface Imaging: Combining Borehole and GPR- Data for Improved Analysis

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

   Author : Pontus Yngvesson; [2023]
   Keywords : Geofysik; Geoteknik; GPR; Borrhål; Dataanalys; Markradar;

   Abstract : The investigation to understand the subsurface and its features has long been asubject of interest for various fields, including fields such as archaeology and infras-tructure projects. However, traditional excavation methods are often costly and time-consuming. READ MORE

4. 8. The accuracy of road distances in the Antonine itinerary

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Antikens kultur och samhällsliv

   Author : Tomas Öberg; [2023]
   Keywords : History and Archaeology;

   Abstract : The Antonine itinerary was compiled in the early fourth century CE and is a key source to our know¬¬ledge about ancient geography and the Roman road system. However, the major research work dates more than 100 years back in time and few studies have been focussed on its overall reliability. READ MORE

5. 9. To Gender or Not to Gender : A critical reassessment of how gender is – and can be – approached in archaeology, exemplified in two Scandinavian burial assemblages dating to the early Medieval period

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för arkeologi och antik historia

   Author : Jessica Sander; [2023]
   Keywords : Gender; theory; Queer Archaeology; burial assemblage; Vivallen; Klinta; Genus; teori; Queer Arkeologi; gravkontext; Vivallen; Klinta;

   Abstract : Gender research in archaeology is a complex topic that puzzled scholars for decades. The past 50 years of it has seen a lot of theorizing, heated discussions, and requests for new additions to the archaeological toolkit so that this type of research can get a proper launch. READ MORE

6. 10. Finding new members of the VelHel-4 stream

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : Lucas Johansson; [2023]
   Keywords : Galactic Archaeology; Milky Way; Stellar Streams; Streams; Stellar Halo; Stars; Globular Cluster; Astronomy; Astrophysics; Gaia; Chemical Abundance; Spectroscopy;

   Abstract : According to the paradigm of lambda-CDM cosmology, the stellar halo ofour Galaxy has been built-up over time through the accretion of other galaxiesand star clusters. The remnants of some of these are still observable today asstellar streams, but are typically very faint and difficult to resolve amidst the farmore numerous foreground Milky Way stars. READ MORE
