    Abstract : Background. Carlberg & Innanen (1987) first proposed the idea of measuring the solar re- flex velocity (the velocity of the Sun around the galactic centre), Vg,⊙, using the momenta of the stars in the solar neighbourhood. The proposal was a consequence of the work of L. READ MORE

  3. 2. Efficient Discovery Of Binary Stars

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Pablo Navarro Barrachina; [2020]
    Keywords : Binary Stars; Spectroscopic binary stars; SB2; Machine Learning; Data Mining; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Purpose: even in the era of exponential increase in the amount of stellar data gathered, binaries are still often overlooked in observational data due to the special handling they require. The goal of this work is to develop a method capable of automatically and efficiently identifying and extract double-lined spectroscopic binaries (SB2) from a spectroscopic survey, while being scalable and technically successful, and to identify and optimize the parameters that influence their detection.

  4. 3. A study of the stellar populations in the Kepler field

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Mark O Reilly; [2017]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Studying the formation and evolution of galaxies is a fundamental problem in astronomy that warrants repeated investigation by astronomers. How do spiral galaxies like our own come to have its distinct spiral arms? How do stars and their properties change over time and will they continue to evolve in the same manner? To try and attempt to answer such questions we need to look to our own Galaxy the Milky Way. READ MORE
