  1. 1. The chemical evolution of the Milky Way: pushing APOGEE to higher precision and accuracy

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

    Author : Erik Fridén; [2023]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : 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

  3. 2. Turning Night into Day : Does Skyglow affect Bat Activity and Timing of Emergence?

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Torge Gerwin; [2023]
    Keywords : Skyglow; Bats; Light pollution; Bat activity; Bat emergence; Riparian forest; Landscape composition; Multi-scale landscape; Landscape management; Sweden;

    Abstract : Artificial brightness of the night sky caused by the backscatter of artificial light in the atmosphere is a consequence of ongoing urbanization. Skyglow covers 88 % of Europe’s surface and poses significant threats to biodiversity. Extensive research on responses of bats to direct light pollution already revealed significant impacts.

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Development of a Low Noise Drone Propeller Using CFD Simulations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Axel Schulz; [2023]
    Keywords : Drone Propeller Low Noise Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Noise pollution generated by drones has in recent years become a concern for humans and wildlife and has in some regions resulted in regulatory backlash. This thesis investigates the possibilities of developing a low noise drone propeller using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. READ MORE

  6. 5. Implementing spatial variance in the rate of photolytic breakdown of NO2 in urban street canyons

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Fabian Friberg; [2022]
    Keywords : cfd; computational fluid dynamics; NOx; street canyon; NO2; NO; O3; photolysis; OpenFOAM; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this study a module for calculating the solar exposure of individual fluid cells was developed to more accurately represent the effect of photolysis on the pollutant dispersion in an urban street canyon. The module was tested and validated on 12 different cases, each with a different geographical location, time of year and/or time of day. READ MORE
