  1. 1. A quantitative analysis of plume gas distributions from different detection studies on Europa

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

    Author : Anujan Ranganathan; [2023]
    Keywords : Europa; Water; Plume distribution; Surface Density; Column Density; Total number of molecules; Europa; Vatten; Plym Distribution; Ytdensitet; Kolumndensitet; Total mängd molekyler;

    Abstract : The search for water has been vital in our solar system as water indicates a potential for life. The search has been extended to satellites orbiting the outer planets. It has already been proven that water exists on Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, where the spacecraft Cassini did a flyby through a water plume. READ MORE

  3. 2. Deriving Spectral Maps from JWST Data : A Study of Enceladus’ Plumes

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

    Author : Stephan Weissenböck; [2023]
    Keywords : Data Analysis; Enceladus; Plumes; Atmosphere; JWST; NIRSpec; IFU; Infrared spectroscopy; Dataanalys; Enceladus; plym; atmosfär; JWST; NIRSpec; IFU; infraröd spektroskopi;

    Abstract : This study investigates the presence of water vapor plumes in the region south of Enceladus, a moon in the Saturnian system, through observations conducted by the James Webb Space Telescope. Enceladus is believed to harbor a subsurface ocean or localized water reservoir that gives rise to water geysers, expelling vapor into its tenuous atmosphere and outer space. READ MORE

  4. 3. Models for estimating radiation dose and LAR from radioactive fallout: extended dose algorithms for the computational tool LARCalc

    University essay from

    Author : Jonathan Sundström; [2022-09-09]
    Keywords : Medical physics; Nuclear power plant; Radiation dose; Effective dose; Lifetime attributable risk; LAR; Fallout; Inhalation; Strontium-90; Iodine-131; Cloudshine;

    Abstract : Today, emergency preparedness is needed against both nuclear reactor accidents and nuclear weapons fallout. Both scenarios can lead to exposure of ionizing radiation. Upon exposure, radionuclides will incur a radiation dose both internally and externally. READ MORE

  5. 4. Probing for plumes in observations of Europa in transit over Jupiter : A data analysis using Hubble Space Telescope images

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

    Author : Emil Larsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Europa; Jupiter; Hubble Space Telescope; Water; Plumes; Europa; Jupiter; Hubbleteleskopet; Vatten; Plymer;

    Abstract : In 2016 Sparks et al. [14] reported evidence of water plumes above the Galilean moon Europa. Their method consisted of creating a model image of Europa transiting Jupiter and analytically comparing it with an actual far-ultraviolet observation from the Hubble Space Telescope. In 2020 Giono et al. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development of Autonomous Bounding Box Algorithms for OPIC’s Data Prioritization on the Comet Interceptor Mission

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Eric Brune; [2022]
    Keywords : Bounding box algorithms; Comet Interceptor; OPIC; SISPO; Cropping;

    Abstract : The joint European Space Agency and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency mission Comet Interceptor seeks to perform a flyby of a Small Solar System Body (SSSB), through use of a multi-element spacecraft. It comprises a primary spacecraft and two subspacecraft, the latter of which will encounter the intercepted object at a small enough distance that its end-of-life might occur at an impact of either the object itself or its potential coma.
