1. 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

2. Ly-α Dayglow on Uranus : Radiative Transfer Modelling
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Uranus is one of the least explored planets in our solar system. Event though the Uranian Ly-α emission has been a subject of study for decades, there is not a consensus on the sources contribution to the total signal. READ MORE

3. Europa's Lyman-Alpha Shadow on Jupiter
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)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

4. Europa's Hydrogen Corona in a Large Set of HST Lyman-Alpha Images
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknikAbstract : Far-ultraviolet (FUV) spectral images of Jupiter's moon Europa were obtained by the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) on 20 occasions between the years 1999 and 2015. In this thesis these data are analyzed to look for Lyman-alpha emissions from a hydrogen corona. READ MORE

5. Measurements of electric fields in a plasma by Stark mixing induced Lyman-α radiation
University essay from Institutionen för fysik och astronomiAbstract : This paper treats a non-intrusive method of measuring electric fields in plasmas and other sensitive or hostile environments. The method is based on the use of an atomic hydrogen beam prepared in the metastable fine structure quantum state 2s1/2. READ MORE
