  1. 1. Modelling Ganymede’s Aurora

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

    Author : James Tammila; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A 3D model of Ganymede’s aurora is created using captured data from the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS), on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The data is processed into 24 images and analyzed. A 3D grid is generated around the moon to implement a functional model to describe the aurora. READ MORE

  3. 2. The Atmospheric SO2 Distribution and Volcanic Activity on Io

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

    Author : Roman Kurenko Landin; Balwan Rana; [2019]
    Keywords : Lyman-α; Jupiter; Io; SO2; Atmosphere; Far-Ultraviolet FUV ; Volcanism; Hubble Space Telescope HST ; Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph STIS .;

    Abstract : Io is the innermost Galilean moon of Jupiter and is considered the most volcanically active body in our solar system. With the help of the Hubble Space Telescope’s (HST) on-board Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS), far-ultraviolet (FUV) images of Io have been captured for the past 20 years. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modeling Far Ultraviolet Auroral Ovals at Ganymede

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

    Author : Carl Daniel Ahlberg; Wera Mauritz; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Ganymede, one of Jupiters moons, differs from other moons in the Solar System as it has its own magnetic field. This rare property shapes the morphology on the existing far ultraviolet oxygen auroral ovals on the celestial body in the northern and southern hemisphere created by high energy electrons colliding into the atmosphere.

  5. 4. Europa's Hydrogen Corona in a Large Set of HST Lyman-Alpha Images

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Sofia Bergman; [2017]
    Keywords : Europa; Jupiter; Atmospheric Physics; HST; STIS; Spectral Images; Hydrogen; Corona; Lyman-Alpha; Number Density; Albedo; Modelling;

    Abstract : Far-ultraviolet (FUV) spectral images of Jupiter's moon Europa were obtained by the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) on 20 occasions between the years 1999 and 2015. In this thesis these data are analyzed to look for Lyman-alpha emissions from a hydrogen corona. READ MORE

  6. 5. Ganymede's hydrogen corona and FUV albedo from HST/STIS images

    University essay from KTH/Rymd- och plasmafysik

    Author : Juan Alday Parejo; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Ganymedes är största månen i vårt Solsystem, och är ett föremål för intensiv vetenskaplig forskning under senaste decenier. Sedan 1998, STIS (Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph) instrumentet ombord rymdteleskopet Hubble (HST) har observerat Ganymedes i UV ljus med våglängder mellan 1150 Å och 1730 Å i fem olika omgångar.
