  1. 6. 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

  3. 7. Beware of your neighbour : the effects of intraspecific interactions and CO2-level on the plant growth of two Barley cultivars

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Nadja Nyberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Barley; Salome; Fairytale; cultivar mixture; pure stand; intraspecific competition; plant-plant interactions; competitive ability; elevated CO2;

    Abstract : Plants have evolved several ways to sense what is going on around them. They can detect possible competitors by picking up on airborne Volatile Compounds emitted from neighbouring plants. The cues can induce growth responses that enhances the competitive ability of the receiver. READ MORE

  4. 8. Simulations of the Tenuous Upper Atmospheres of Exoplanets

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

    Author : Lucian Spitzner; [2023]
    Keywords : astronomy; astrophyics; exoplanets; transmission spectroscopy; magnetic fields; atmospheres; ions; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Over the last decade, the interest in research on extraterrestrial planets has expanded dramatically. With the number of confirmed exoplanets having increased tenfold over the last ten years, we now know that many different types of exoplanets exist. READ MORE

  5. 9. Experimental assessment of properties for a non-aqueous and precipitating alkanolamine absorption system

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Erik Robertsson; [2022]
    Keywords : AMP; DMSO; CCS; BE-CCS; Viscosity; Density; Freezing Temperature; Chemical Engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : With increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, energy efficient carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies could prove important to enable reductions in the global CO2 emissions. The aim was to investigate a novel, non-aqueous, and precipitating chemical absorption system of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), which forms solid carbamate salt crystals with CO2.

  6. 10. The relation between extreme heat and ENSO and characterization of health risks in relation to varying levels of UTCI

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi

    Author : Emanuel Svensson; [2022]
    Keywords : El Niño; ENSO; relative risk; heat waves; cold spells; UTCI; cardiovascular diseases; exposure; Taiwan.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : As a result of climate change, temperatures have been steadily increasing in the last half century and extreme weather events such as storms, extreme heat, extreme precipitation and cold spells have been observed to occur more frequently. This comes with potential consequences for lives and health. READ MORE
