  1. 6. Detecting Earth-like exoplanets using high-dispersion nulling interferometry

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Germain Garreau; [2021]
    Keywords : Applied Physics; Instrumental Optics; Exoplanets Detection; Interferometry; Spectroscopy; Tillämpad fysik; Instrumentoptik; Exoplaneter upptäckt; Interferometri; Spektroskopi;

    Abstract : The detection of Earth-like exoplanets and the characterization of their atmospheres is a challenge one needs to solve to assess their habitability and the presence of life in the universe. If this challenge is still unresolved today, even in the era of giant telescopes, it is mainly because of the very high contrast between these exoplanets and their host star and also their proximity.

  3. 7. The Milky Way and its Exoplanets

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Jesper Nielsen; [2021]
    Keywords : Planets and Satellites; Exoplanets; Occurrence Rates; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The detections of over 4000 exoplanets as of today has shown that they exist in a wide range of different configurations, otherwise known as architectures. Recently, studies have been made trying to link the environment of host stars to the architectures of their planetary systems and have found that the architectures of planetary systems may not necessarily be uniform in the Milky Way.

  4. 8. Detailed analysis of the chemical composition of stars harboring Earth-like planets

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Lorena Acuña Aguirre; [2019]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Context. The planet-metallicity correlation for gaseous giants is widely accepted through spectroscopic studies. However, whether a similar correlation exists for terrestrial planets is a debated subject. READ MORE

  5. 9. Implementing a pipeline to search for transiting exoplanets : application to the K2 survey data

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)

    Author : Hrafn N. H. Weishaupt; [2018]
    Keywords : Exoplanet detection; Transiting exoplanet; Transit method; Kepler; K2;

    Abstract : The detection of exoplanets has rapidly evolved to one of the most important frontiers of astronomical and astrophysical research. The recent decades have seen the development of various techniques for detecting exoplanets. READ MORE

  6. 10. Can there be an Earth-like planet in HD37605?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Johan Appelgren; [2017]
    Keywords : Orbital stability; Dynamics; Exoplanets; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Detection of Earth-mass planets on orbits around 1 AU with the radial velocity method has so far not been possible, the Doppler velocity they induce on their host star is too small to be detected. Planetary systems detected with the radial velocity method might then contain undetected Earth-like planets. READ MORE
