  1. 1. A cross-correlation analysis of a warm super-Neptune using transit spectroscopy

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Elias Önerud; [2023]
    Keywords : Cross-correlation; cross-correlation spectroscopy; cross-correlation analysis; super-Neptune; astronomy; astrophysics; WASP-107; WASP-107 b; CRIRES ; SysRem; exoplanet; transmission spectrum; transit;

    Abstract : A study was made in order to deduce whether certain chemical species, namely water (H2O) and carbon monoxide (CO), are present in the atmosphere of the exoplanet WASP-107 b, which lies about 200 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Virgo. The project was carried out at Uppsala University at the Department of Physics and Astronomy. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. ACCURACY OF ENERGY ESTIMATION FOR SMALL WIND FARMS BASED ON MESOSCALE WIND DATA

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Zhi MengHan; [2023]
    Keywords : Production simulation，windPRO，Mesoscale，WAsP;

    Abstract : As wind power is one of the main contributions to the energy transition, conducting the necessary production simulations during the development stage of a wind project can provide developers with an initial idea of its power generation potential. Existing wind farm production simulation studies have focused on data sources and time scales based on actual measurement wind data and annual production. READ MORE

  5. 4. WIND RESOURCE VARIATION BETWEEN MESOSCALE AND DOWNSCALED LINEAR WIND MODEL – COMPARISON OF SURFACE ROUGHNESS AND PROXIMITY TO BALTIC COAST

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Jonas Deksnys; [2022]
    Keywords : Wind speed; mesoscale; microscale; WAsP; Lithuania;

    Abstract : This report analyses accuracy of wind speed predictions using wind atlases for the application of wind farm project development. The report aims to compare publicly available New European Wind Atlas (NEWA) mesoscale model data with the NEWA microscale model data. READ MORE

  6. 5. The effects of a new gall midge in the Panamanian fig/fig wasp mutualism

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Roberta Hedberg; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The mutualism between the fig tree and the fig wasp pollinator is an important keystone interaction for tropical forests. However, many antagonistic and parasitic species take advantage of the fig/fig wasp mutualism. One such parasite is the gall midge that develops inside fig syconia. READ MORE
