  1. 1. Modeling of carbon plasma discharges in high-power impulse magnetron sputtering

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Plasma och ytbeläggningsfysik

    Author : Henrik Eliasson; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Diamond like carbon (DLC) is a metastable state of amorphous carbon that has very important and wide-ranging thin film applications. DLC has a strong resemblance to pure diamond and exhibits many traits of real diamond, like mechanical hardness and chemical inertness, but with a drastically lower deposition cost. READ MORE

  3. 2. Stars Eating Planets

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : John Wimarsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Earth and planetary astrophysics; planetary dynamics; planet-planet scattering; planet consumption; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In a phase of instability during the dynamical evolution of some multiple exoplanetary systems, exchange of angular momentum and/or energy through gravitational interactions between planets will lead to alterations of their orbital properties. In some cases, planetary orbits end up crossing, which leads to close encounters between two planets. READ MORE

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Teodor Jonsson; Oscar Wistemar; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Gamma-ray bursts (GRB) are extremely high energy pulses that are connected to supernovae and black hole formation. They are divided into two forms, long and short GRBs. READ MORE

  6. 5. Simulation of Scientific VHF Telemetry Data for the French Payload of the SVOM Satellite

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Florian Reiner; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a future French-Chinese satellite mission which is dedicated to the observation and characterisation of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs). When a GRB is detected by the satellite, the position and initial characterisation data are transmitted to ground via a VHF telemetry link, in order to trigger immediate follow-up observations of the transient GRB afterglow by ground-based telescopes.
