  1. 21. Methods for Studying Influence of Io Magma Ocean on Alfvén Wings

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Carl Lundquist; Fredrik Cumlin; [2020]
    Keywords : Io; magma ocean; Alfv ́en wings; plasma; mag-netic induction;

    Abstract : The most volcanically active body in the solar systemand the innermost Galilean moon of Jupiter, Io, is theorizedto have a global magma ocean beneath it’s surface. Io is alsoin a fast-moving flow of plasma where the moon acts as anobstacle in the flow which generates several complex interactions. READ MORE

    Abstract : We study the variability of intensity of Io’s aurora asa function of Jupiter’s rotation measured in system III longitude.The far-ultraviolet intensity of Io’s aurora was measured by theHubble Space Telescope (HST) using the FUV-MAMA photondetector of the STIS. READ MORE

  4. 23. Stars Eating Planets

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : John Wimarsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Earth and planetary astrophysics; planetary dynamics; planet-planet scattering; planet consumption; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In a phase of instability during the dynamical evolution of some multiple exoplanetary systems, exchange of angular momentum and/or energy through gravitational interactions between planets will lead to alterations of their orbital properties. In some cases, planetary orbits end up crossing, which leads to close encounters between two planets. READ MORE

  5. 24. Europa's Lyman-Alpha Shadow on Jupiter

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Johan Ferm; [2020]

    Abstract : Europa is one of the most interesting satellites in the solar system in the search ofextra-terrestrial life, as it harbours an interior water ocean under its icy surface. Watervapour in Europa’s atmosphere has been previously observed, suggesting water plumeeruptions from the surface. READ MORE

  6. 25. Capture of interstellar objects in the Solar system

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Jonathan Petersson; [2020]
    Keywords : interstellar objects; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Research on InterStellar Objects (ISOs) has been done for several decades, however, the first observed ISO in the Solar system was only recently discovered in 2017. It was named 1I/'Oumuamua and was only passing though the Solar system, but this may not be the case for all objects of its kind. READ MORE
