  1. 1. The visibility of stellar transients in the Galactic Centre

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

    Author : Jonathan Ström; [2024]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : A semi-analytical simulation was developed to evaluate the K-band magnitudes of Red Giants [0.96 - 1.02 M⊙] orbiting the supermassive black hole in the galactic centre. The model assumed star formation between 10-12 Gyrs ago and by following the IMF and applying a random age condition, a stellar population was created. READ MORE

  2. 2. Measuring copper abundances in the Galactic Bulge

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

    Author : Nikolei Höglinger; [2024]
    Keywords : Copper; Galaxy: abundances; Galaxy: bulge; Chemical Evolution; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Context: The chemical evolution of Cu in the Galactic bulge have been studied in a few studies using red giant branch stars, but the ages of individual red giant stars are difficult to determine. In addition, the bulge has been a challenging region of the Milky Way galaxy to obtain high-resolution spectra of stars, except when observing through certain few small fields into the bulge that are known to have low extinction.

  3. 3. N-body simulations of exoplanets and their moons

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

    Author : Lydia Schollmeier; [2024]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The planet-planet interactions in a many-planet system cannot be analytically calculated. Instead, they have to be investigated by using an N-body simulation. I discuss three questions about the N-body interactions in planetary systems: The first two are on the system 55 Cnc, a system with five known planets around a K-type star. READ MORE

  4. 4. Lead Concentrations in Indoor Dust : Differences Between Indoor Shooting Ranges and Assumed Non-Lead Contaminated Sites

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Lena Brolin; [2023]
    Keywords : Ammunition; environmentally friendly ammunition; lead; lead at indoor shooting ranges; lead exposure.;

    Abstract : A projectile which missed its target and falls into the bullet trap at the end of the shooting range might not be viewed as dangerous. Yet, hazardous fumes and fine metal fragments from the bullet might contaminate the users of the shooting range. READ MORE

  5. 5. Residual Products in the Steel Industry Used for Briquetting

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Alexander Eriksson; Linn Isaksson; Jacob Lilliebjörn; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This report looks at the implementation of briquetting in the Swedish steel industry. Briquetting is a process in which residual products are mixed and compressed into a brick-like body in order to be added to the melt in a furnace. This report investigates the type of materials commonly used in briquetting as of today. READ MORE
