  1. 1. Simulation-based discrimination of Crab pulsar models with XL-Calibur

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Dennis Åkerström; [2024]
    Keywords : Astroparticle Physics; Astrophysics; Detector Physics; Simulation; Theoretical Physics; Engineering Physics; Pulsar models; Crab pulsar; Astropartikelfysik; Astropartikelfysik; Detektorfysik; Simulering; Teoretisk Fysik; Teknisk Fysik; Pulsar modeller; Krabbpulsaren;

    Abstract : Polarisation of X-ray light is being investigated with polarimeters to extend the borders of what can be observed. Distant compact objects, such as pulsars, that are to small on the sky to be analysed with imaging can be investigated by analysing the polarisation of the emitted light. This can reveal physics previously hidden by their small nature. READ MORE

  2. 2. N-body simulations of exoplanets and their moons

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

    Author : Lydia Schollmeier; [2024]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The planet-planet interactions in a many-planet system cannot be analytically calculated. Instead, they have to be investigated by using an N-body simulation. I discuss three questions about the N-body interactions in planetary systems: The first two are on the system 55 Cnc, a system with five known planets around a K-type star. READ MORE

  3. 3. Day or night? Testing thermal imaging technology for estimating ungulate population densities in southern Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Julia Nowak; [2023]
    Keywords : monitoring; ungulates; thermal imaging; population density; distance sampling; Dama dama;

    Abstract : To be able to make a proper judgement and choose the best management or conservation solution when working with populations of wild ungulates or any other wildlife, it is important to obtain good estimates of population densities. Inventing or improving wild animal monitoring methods is a key to protect what may be endangered or to avoid human-wildlife conflicts. READ MORE

  4. 4. Estimating Properties of a Young Pulsar through X-ray Observations - An Investigation of Parameter Dependence

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Lurin Ali; [2022]
    Keywords : Pulsar; Neutron star; Supernova;

    Abstract : Studying the properties of newborn neutron stars is a complicated matter since they cannot be directly observed. Neutron stars are born when some massive stars go supernova (SN), where the expelled material from the explosion goes on to shield the young neutron star from our view by absorbing its radiation.

  5. 5. A COMPARISON OF DATA INGESTION PLATFORMS IN REAL-TIME STREAM PROCESSING PIPELINES

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

    Author : Sebastian Tallberg; [2020]
    Keywords : stream processing; data ingestion; Redis Streams; Apache Kafka; Apache Pulsar; performance benchmark; real-time streaming;

    Abstract : In recent years there has been an increasing demand for real-time streaming applications that handle large volumes of data with low latency. Examples of such applications include real-time monitoring and analytics, electronic trading, advertising, fraud detection, and more. READ MORE
