  1. 6. The Metallicity Structure of the Milky Way halo I : Creating a stellar catalogue of the distant halo’s red giants

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Observationell astrofysik

    Author : Amanda Byström; [2021]
    Keywords : Milky Way; Galactic archaeology; halo; photometric metallicities; stellar catalogue; giant stars; distance calculations; Pristine survey; Gaia mission; metallicity distribution;

    Abstract : The Milky Way's halo is an approximately spherical distribution of stars surrounding the Galaxy that carries the history of the Milky Way. The outer halo is a Galactic region with long dynamical timescales largely built up by accreted material. READ MORE

  3. 7. Archaeologic inspection of the Milky Way using vibrations of a fossil : Seismic, spectroscopic and kinematic characterization of a binary metal-poor Halo star

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Observationell astrofysik

    Author : Amanda Byström; [2020]
    Keywords : Milky Way; Halo; galactic archaeology; asteroseismology; binary star; CEMP stars; CEMP-r s stars; stellar age; stellar mass; chemical abundance pattern; Gaia-Enceladus; Gaia-Sausage; Sequoia; spectroscopy; metal-poor;

    Abstract : The Milky Way has undergone several mergers with other galaxies during its lifetime. The mergers have been identified via stellar debris in the Halo of the Milky Way. The practice of mapping these mergers is called galactic archaeology. To perform this archaeologic inspection, three stellar features must be mapped: chemistry, kinematics and age. READ MORE

  4. 8. Analysis of stellar spectra with machine learning

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

    Author : Alvaro Segovia Otero; [2020]
    Keywords : Galactic Archaeology; machine learning; chemical abundances; FGK stars; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Researchers in the field of Galactic Archaeology have entered the era of industrial revolution. Upcoming surveys are planning on observing tens of millions of stars and high precision and accuracy must be ensured when deriving their stellar parameters and elemental abundances. READ MORE

  5. 9. Radial migration of stars, measured in N-body simulations

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

    Author : Daniel Mikkola; [2017]
    Keywords : N-body; simulations; galaxies; radial migration; stars; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The purpose of Galactic archaeology is determining the history of the Milky Way (MW) Galaxy. To do this one uses observational data from stellar populations in terms of properties such as kinematics, chemistry, ages, and evolution. READ MORE
