1. 1. The chemical evolution of the Milky Way: pushing APOGEE to higher precision and accuracy

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

   Author : Erik Fridén; [2023]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : In the recent decade, a rapid increase in all-sky spectroscopic surveys has occurred, and with it, the wealth of observational data and information on our Galaxy. Consequently, numerous detections of new structures, such as new open clusters, accreted and in-situ components, are discovered. READ MORE

3. 2. Void Evolution and Cosmic Star Formation

   Keywords : Void; Void Evolution; Cosmic Void; Star Formation Rate; Star Formation History; Cosmic Star Formation; Cosmology; Spherical Evolution Model; SvdW; Vdn; Excursion Set Theory; Excursion Set Formalism; Astrophysics; Astronomy; Cosmic Web; Matter Transfer; Tomrum; Tomrumsutveckling; Kosmiska Tomrum; Stjärnbildningshastighet; Stjärnbildningshistorik; Kosmisk stjärnbildning; Kosmologi; Sfärisk Evolutionsmodell; SvdW; Vdn; Exkursionsset teori; Exkursionsset Formalism; Astrofysik; Astronomi; Kosmiska Spindelnätet; Masstransport;

   Abstract : The rate at which stars have formed throughout the history of theuniverse is not constant, it started out slow, increased until around redshift ∼ 2 when it reversed and became slower again. The reason for this behaviour is still being investigated with various models and simulations usually based upon dark matter halos. READ MORE

4. 3. Origin of blue straggler stars in the Milky Way halo

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

   Author : Adam Brcek; [2023]
   Keywords : Blue Straggler; Galactic Halo; Spectroscopic Surveys; Binary Star Evolution; Mass Transfer; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Blue straggler stars (BSSs) are exotic stellar objects that appear to be younger than the age of the population they come from suggests. They are observed as the extension of the main sequence stars, beyond the turn-off point. READ MORE

5. 4. 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.

6. 5. Colliding Galaxies in a (Nut)Shell

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Jonathan Petersson; [2022]
   Keywords : shell galaxies; simulations; starbursts; quenching; mergers; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Galaxy interactions and mergers are natural recurring events in the current cosmological paradigm, events that often coincide with starbursts and enhanced star formation activity. To understand why that is, one can use idealised (non-cosmological) merger simulations, which provide freedom to recreate specific tidally distorted galaxies, and analysis of the time evolution and underlying physics of the star formation activity at a high spatial resolution.
