1. 1. N-body simulations of exoplanets and their moons

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

   Author : Lydia Schollmeier; [2024]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The planet-planet interactions in a many-planet system cannot be analytically calculated. Instead, they have to be investigated by using an N-body simulation. I discuss three questions about the N-body interactions in planetary systems: The first two are on the system 55 Cnc, a system with five known planets around a K-type star. READ MORE

3. 2. Estimating stellar limb darkening using exoplanet transits

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

   Author : Sora Ishida; [2023]
   Keywords : Limb-darkening; CHEOPS; Transit; Exoplanet; PYCHEOPS; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The brightness of the stars is not uniform over the surface as it varies depending on the wavelength and the atmosphere that the light propagates. Limb darkening is an optical effect caused by a decrease in brightness of the star towards the edge. READ MORE

4. 3. Planning Observations of Terrestrial ExoplanetsAround M Type Stars with CRIRES+

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Observationell astrofysik

   Author : Jonas Zbinden; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In recent decades, thousands of exoplanets have been discovered. The next step is to characterize theobserved planets in terms of their radii, masses, density, physical conditions and composition of theiratmospheres. READ MORE

5. 4. Searching for Exoplanets in K2 Data

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

   Author : Iskra Georgieva; [2018]
   Keywords : exoplanets; transit method;

   Abstract : The field of extrasolar planets is undoubtedly one of the most exciting and fast-moving in astronomy. Thanks to the Kepler Space Telescope, which has given us the Kepler and K2 missions, we now have thousands of planets to study and thousands more candidates waiting to be confirmed. READ MORE

6. 5. Multi-planetary Systems from Simulated TESS Transit Timing Variations

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Lucas Hellström; [2018]
   Keywords : Transit timing variations; TTV; TESS; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : A transit is a phenomenon where a planet passes between its host star and an observer blocking out part of the light from the star. This decrease can be measured and used to gain information about the planet. The Kepler and TESS telescopes are examples of space telescopes using the transit method to detect exoplanets. READ MORE
