  1. 1. Estimating stellar limb darkening using exoplanet transits

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

    Author : Sora Ishida; [2023]
    Keywords : Limb-darkening; CHEOPS; Transit; Exoplanet; PYCHEOPS; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The brightness of the stars is not uniform over the surface as it varies depending on the wavelength and the atmosphere that the light propagates. Limb darkening is an optical effect caused by a decrease in brightness of the star towards the edge. READ MORE

  3. 2. Surface orientation of the formamidinium cation in black formamidinium lead iodide perovskite

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Author : Torsten Geirsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Perovskite; Formamidinium; Surface;

    Abstract : Formamidinium lead iodide perovskite (FAPI) holds promise to be used in high–efficiency solar cells. A comprehensive understanding of the immediate surface properties of this material can provide insights into its interaction with other materials and guide future engineering of its interface with other constituents of the solar cell.

  4. 3. Planes of satellite galaxies

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Jessica Laura Erika Kocher; [2022]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The Planes of Satellites Problem is an open question within the field of galaxy formation. It is based on the observations that the Milky Way's satellites, as well as those around the Andromeda (M31) galaxy, align in planes. READ MORE

  5. 4. Analysing seasonal snow cover trends and patterns on Svalbard

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Dhruv Maniktala; [2022]
    Keywords : snow cover; snow disappearance; snow onset; snow-free duration; CARRA; Svalbard;

    Abstract : Rapid warming in the Arctic is highly impacting the cryosphere in the region, causing melting of the sea ice, retreat of glaciers and reduction in the snow cover. If suffering further temperature increase, the albedo of the region would reduce due to higher absorption of the solar radiation in snow-free areas. READ MORE

  6. 5. 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
