  1. 1. Can Dwarf Galaxies Tell Us How the Milky Way Formed?

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

    Author : Þóra Karlsdóttir; [2023]
    Keywords : Dwarf Galaxy; Milky Way; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Dwarf galaxies are a key component in understanding the evolution of galaxies and provide tests on the standard cosmological $\Lambda$ Cold Dark Matter model. According to the formation hierarchy, dwarf galaxies are the pieces that create all galaxies. Our current understanding of dwarf galaxies faces discrepancies between theory and observations.

  3. 2. Daylight qualities in student dorms in Sweden: computer simulations and subjective impressions.

    University essay from KTH/Ljusdesign

    Author : Mathilde Jesiek; [2022]
    Keywords : Student housing; Visual perception; Daylight simulations; Useful Daylight Illuminance UDI ; Scandinavia;

    Abstract : Humans are less exposed to natural light during the day and less to darkness at night. Good daylighting provides visual comfort for performing tasks but also influences non-visual comfort. According to various studies, good daylight conditions can influence human physiology and behaviour, like sleep, alertness, mood and cognitive functions. READ MORE

  4. 3. Brightest Cluster Galaxies in the Local Universe: Mergers, Interactions and the Implications for Galaxy Evolution

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Diane Delley; [2022]
    Keywords : Brightest Cluster Gallaxies; BCG; Cosmology; Clusters of Galaxies; Merger; Interaction;

    Abstract : Clusters of Galaxies are amongst the largest gravitationally bound structures in our Universe and consist of thousands of galaxies. It is in these gigantic systems where Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) are found, the most massive galaxies in our Universe. A BCG, as its name indicates, is the brightest galaxy in a cluster.

  5. 4. Visual and performance comparison: Physically based atmosphere method against Unity Universal Render Pipeline procedural skybox

    University essay from

    Author : Martin Höglund; Nikki Norberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Unity; Physically based atmosphere; aesthetics; realism;

    Abstract : Background. In the pursuit of realism in rendering, a feature that may get overlooked is the sky and atmosphere—especially the consumer who might suspect that something is off without identifying it. A critical aspect of sky rendering is the color that should be dynamic with the time of day to be realistic. READ MORE

  6. 5. Modelling stellar streams around the Milky Way

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Hyerin Jang; [2021]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Stellar streams around the Milky Way (MW) have been observed by wide sky surveys, and studied to understand the mass distribution of the MW. This is because streams are formed by a disruption of a globular cluster or a dwarf galaxy under the influence of the gravitational field of the MW. READ MORE
