1. Fitting a photospheric prompt emission model to GRB data: The Kompaneets RMS approximation (KRA)
University essay from KTH/FysikAbstract : Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are some of the most energetic events in the universe. Shocks occurring below the photosphere are likely radiation mediated shocks (RMSs) and are suspected to shape the spectra. Due to computational costs of simulating RMSs, models had not been fitted to data and a faster model was needed. READ MORE

2. A study of the gamma-ray emission from the blazar S50716+71 using the Fermi-LAT telescope
University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)Abstract : This thesis sums up a bachelor project in which gamma-ray emission from an extra-galactic source (S50716+71) is studied using data collected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). The emission consists of 12,5 years of data (April 2008 to February 2020) in the energy range 100 MeV - 300 GeV. READ MORE

3. Prompt emission in Gamma-ray bursts; Photospheric Radiation from Synchrotron-Like spectra
University essay from KTH/FysikAbstract : Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most luminous phenomena in the Universe, explosions whoseenergy is generated by supernovae or mergers of dense objects such as neutron stars. The GRBemission is divided into the prompt emission phase characterized by γ-ray radiation and the afterglowof lower energy radiation. READ MORE

4. Measuring the [C II]-to-H I connection in high-redshift absorption-selected galaxies
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : HI neutral gas is the basic building block of galaxies. It dictates the star formation rate and hence the metal enrichment rates within high redshift galaxies. HI neutral gas cannot be directly observed beyond z ≈ 0. READ MORE

5. Constraints on the High-Energy Gamma-Ray Spectrum of Nearby Star-Forming Galaxies
University essay from Stockholms universitet/FysikumAbstract : The nature of high-energy gamma-ray emission from Star-Forming Galaxies is of utmost importance for understanding both the origin of Cosmic Rays and the high-energy processes that shape galaxy formation. Observations from the gamma-ray telescope Fermi-LAT have detected gamma-ray emission from a handful of nearby Star-Forming Galaxies. READ MORE
