1. 11. Multi-planetary Systems from Simulated TESS Transit Timing Variations

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Lucas Hellström; [2018]
   Keywords : Transit timing variations; TTV; TESS; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : A transit is a phenomenon where a planet passes between its host star and an observer blocking out part of the light from the star. This decrease can be measured and used to gain information about the planet. The Kepler and TESS telescopes are examples of space telescopes using the transit method to detect exoplanets. READ MORE

3. 12. Exoplanets: Interactive Visualization of Data and Discovery Method

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Medie- och Informationsteknik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

   Author : Karin Reidarman; [2018]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This report provides a description of the development and implementation of an Exoplanet visualization within the interactive astro-visualization software OpenSpace. Orbital Data from The Exoplanet Orbit Database were used to render the planetary systems around stars known to have exoplanets in orbit. READ MORE

4. 13. Giant planet formation around HR8799

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Dan Wallsby; [2017]
   Keywords : HR8799; Planet formation; Protoplanetary disks; Giant planets; Astronomy; Migration; Dynamics; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : In the thriving field of exoplanet research new discoveries are made all the time, and while most of the observed systems can be explained with classical planet formation models - some are much harder to explain. When stars form they are often surrounded by the remaining material of the nebulae they formed from. READ MORE

5. 14. Spectroscopy of an Earth-transit as seen from Jupiter

   Keywords : Spectroscopy; Earth-transit; Jupiter; Spektroskopi; Jord-transit; Jupiter;

   Abstract : The field of exoplanets have been rapidly growing, confirming over three thousand planets of which most have been discovered with the Transit method. Now focus lies on the characterization of exoplanets atmospheres. READ MORE

6. 15. Solar System analogues among exoplanetary systems

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Maria Lomaeva; [2016]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Over the past two decades many discoveries of exoplanets have been made, which have drawn much attention to extrasolar planetary systems. In this work we study the composition of these systems and search for analogues of the Solar System. We considered the planets in the database at exoplanet.eu. READ MORE
