  1. 21. The quest for a classical bulge - a study of kinematics, abundances, and ages using microlensed dwarf stars and Gaia

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

    Author : Calum Kvernes Macpherson; [2023]
    Keywords : Bulge; Milky Way; Kinematics; Galpy; Dwarf Stars; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Context: We present an kinematical analysis of 90 F and G type dwarf, turn-off, and subgiant stars in the Galactic bulge. These stars were observed with high-resolution spectrographs during gravitational microlensing events This allowed for their ages, abundances, and radial velocities to be ascertained while they were significantly brighter.

  3. 22. Exploring electroweak symmetry breaking in the scale-invariant Two-Higgs-Doublet Model

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Erik Rustas; [2023]
    Keywords : Two-Higgs-Doublet Models; 2HDM; Scale-invariance; Baryogenesis; BSM; Baryon Asymmetry; Coleman-Weinberg Potential; Theoretical Particle Physics; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the properties of a general scale-invariant Two-Higgs-Doublet Model and its phenomenological consequences with focus on the scalar sector. The concept suggests that introducing more CP-violation, both spontaneous and explicit, may make it possible to meet the Sakharov conditions and account for the Universe's baryon asymmetry.

  4. 23. Starshades: Geoengineering Solutions and Technosignatures in Direct Imaging Phase Curves

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

    Author : Claudia Skoglund; [2023]
    Keywords : Starshades; extraterrestrial intelligence; stellar evolution; technosignatures; phase curves; direct imaging; habitable zone.; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : 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

  5. 24. A cross-correlation analysis of a warm super-Neptune using transit spectroscopy

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Elias Önerud; [2023]
    Keywords : Cross-correlation; cross-correlation spectroscopy; cross-correlation analysis; super-Neptune; astronomy; astrophysics; WASP-107; WASP-107 b; CRIRES ; SysRem; exoplanet; transmission spectrum; transit;

    Abstract : A study was made in order to deduce whether certain chemical species, namely water (H2O) and carbon monoxide (CO), are present in the atmosphere of the exoplanet WASP-107 b, which lies about 200 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Virgo. The project was carried out at Uppsala University at the Department of Physics and Astronomy. READ MORE

  6. 25. Quality assessment of private weather station Netatmo

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

    Author : Viktor Israelsson; [2023]
    Keywords : netatmo; meteorology; smhi; weatherstation; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Netatmo is a brand of private weather stations that over the past decade, in many countries, have grown to outnumber the number of government based weather stations. In most fields of research, a high number of data points can increase accuracy and precision. READ MORE
