1. 1. Estimating progenitor mass and distance to Galactic Core-Collapse Supernova using neutrino observatory IceCube

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Manne Segerlund; [2021]
   Keywords : Supernova neutrinos; Supernova detection; Multi-messenger astronomy;

   Abstract : Galactic core-collapse supernovae is a once-in-a-lifetime event which could carry with it information about new physics. In this work a method for estimating the progenitor mass and distance using the IceCube Neutrino Observatory is presented. The mass is expressed through an intermediate parameter called compactness.

3. 2. The visibility of double neutron star binaries to LISA

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Anatole Storck; [2021]
   Keywords : gravitational waves; LISA; neutron stars; orbital simulations; Runge-Kutta method; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Double neutron star binaries (DNSBs) in the mHz gravitational wave (GW) regime are an important group of objects which the GW detector LISA will be able to observe. The detection and parametrization of these objects will help develop our current understanding of neutron star formation and evolution. READ MORE

4. 3. Type-1 Active Falactic Nuclei and their Supernovae

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk astrofysik

   Author : Inigo Imaz Chacon; [2019]
   Keywords : SN; AGN; supernova; counts; star formation; astronomy; type-1 AGN; obscured; thermonuclear; core-collapsed;

   Abstract : Supernovae (SNe) and more specifically Core-Collapsed SNe (CC SNe) are signatures of on-going star formation (SF), and higher star formation rates. In this project, we perform a study of all SNe ever discovered inside a specific type of galaxy: a type-1 Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN1). READ MORE
