  1. 1. Origin of blue straggler stars in the Milky Way halo

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

    Author : Adam Brcek; [2023]
    Keywords : Blue Straggler; Galactic Halo; Spectroscopic Surveys; Binary Star Evolution; Mass Transfer; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Blue straggler stars (BSSs) are exotic stellar objects that appear to be younger than the age of the population they come from suggests. They are observed as the extension of the main sequence stars, beyond the turn-off point. READ MORE

  3. 2. Hyper-velocity stars from globular clusters hosting intermediate-mass black holes

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

    Author : Matilda Skantz; [2023]
    Keywords : Hypervelocity stars; run-away stars; stellar binary; intermediate mass black hole; globular cluster; Hills mechanism; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In 1988 Hills proposed that stars can gain velocities above 500 km s−1 if they are in a stellar binary which gets disrupted by a super massive black hole (SMBH). One of the stars would get trapped in an elliptical orbit around the SMBH while the other gets ejected and obtains a relatively high velocity. READ MORE

  4. 3. Attitude and orbit control analysis of a solar sail spacecraft for Space sunshade missions in the vicinity of the sub-Lagrange 1 point

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Benjamin Jouanneau; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This Master thesis report contains a complete attitude and orbit control analysis for solar sail spacecraft in the Circular-Restricted-3-Body-Reference frame. The overall goal of the project is to drive one solar sail from the edge of the Earth Sphere of Influence to a vicinity of the sub-Lagrange1 point. READ MORE

  5. 4. Investigations of the Transient Luminous Events with the small satellites, balloons and ground-based instruments

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Safura Mirzayeva; [2022]
    Keywords : TLE; sprite; jet; elve; halo; lightning; lighting detection; upper-atmospheric lightning; lightning location; nanosatellite; CubeSat;

    Abstract : The lightning is the natural source of electromagnetic radiation. It is an atmospheric electrical discharge.  However, since recent times, it was discovered that there are other types of lightning besides those that are visible to the naked eye. They are called TLEs (Transient Luminous Event) and take place above the clouds during thunderstorms. READ MORE

  6. 5. Modelling stellar streams around the Milky Way

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Hyerin Jang; [2021]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Stellar streams around the Milky Way (MW) have been observed by wide sky surveys, and studied to understand the mass distribution of the MW. This is because streams are formed by a disruption of a globular cluster or a dwarf galaxy under the influence of the gravitational field of the MW. READ MORE
