1. Starshades: Geoengineering Solutions and Technosignatures in Direct Imaging Phase Curves
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : The stellar luminosity increases as a star evolves which inevitably yields a higher temperature on planets in orbit around the star. It is reasonable to assume that intelligent civilizations would tackle this issue through installing artificial structures that can alter the radiation received by the planet. READ MORE

2. Initial Orbit Determination of Resident Space Objects From A Passive Optical Imaging System: : Application to Space Situational Awareness
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/RymdteknikAbstract : The probability of satellite collisions and disintegrations cluttering the near-Earth orbital environmentis ever-growing. This is especially true for the congested Low Earth Orbit (LEO) regime; once a critical density of objects is reached, a collisional cascading is projected to generate runaway growth of theorbital population.

3. Using Machine Learning to Optimize Near-Earth Object Sighting Data at the Golden Ears Observatory
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : This research project focuses on improving Near-Earth Object (NEO) detection using advanced machine learning techniques, particularly Vision Transformers (ViTs). The study addresses challenges such as noise, limited data, and class imbalance. READ MORE

4. Real Time Navigation Algorithms for LEO Small Satellites using COTS GNSS
University essay from KTH/Lantmäteri – fastighetsvetenskap och geodesiAbstract : Many satellites in LEO use a GNSS-based navigation system, taking advantage of the GNSS constellations in MEO to enhance navigation capabilities. The thesis work focused on developing the software enabling GNSS-based navigation for Hemeria's future small satellites operating in LEO. READ MORE

5. The chemical evolution of the Milky Way: pushing APOGEE to higher precision and accuracy
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : In the recent decade, a rapid increase in all-sky spectroscopic surveys has occurred, and with it, the wealth of observational data and information on our Galaxy. Consequently, numerous detections of new structures, such as new open clusters, accreted and in-situ components, are discovered. READ MORE
