  1. 16. 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

  3. 17. Magnetic field of the Ap star EP UMa

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Jakob Melin; [2023]
    Keywords : stars: chemically peculiar - stars: magnetic fields – stars: individual: EP UMa;

    Abstract : Magnetic fields play a crucial roll in the stellar activity and evolutionof stars. Despite much research there is much that we do notunderstand. Among Ap stars, empirical evidence has suggested a minimumthreshold for the dipolar magnetic field strength of Bp ≈ 300G. READ MORE

  4. 18. Investigating a possible dearth of stars with zero angular momentum in the solar neighbourhood.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Aayush Desai; [2023]
    Keywords : Galaxy: disk; Galaxy: fundamental parameters; Galaxy: kinematics and dynamics; Galaxy: nucleus; solar neighborhood; stars: kinematics and dynamics; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Background. Carlberg & Innanen (1987) first proposed the idea of measuring the solar re- flex velocity (the velocity of the Sun around the galactic centre), Vg,⊙, using the momenta of the stars in the solar neighbourhood. The proposal was a consequence of the work of L. READ MORE

  5. 19. Black Holes of the First Stars

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Aron Kordt; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this report, we constrain properties of foreground objects in the Milky Way that have the potential of being confused with accretion disks of Population III stellar- mass black holes at high redshift. Following Windhorst et al. (2018), a model for multicolour accretion disks of Population III stellar-mass black holes is presented. READ MORE

  6. 20. Starbursts at Cosmic Dawn : Formation of Globular Clusters, Ultra-Faint Dwarfs, and Population III star clusters at z > 6

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för astronomi

    Author : Olof Nebrin; [2022]
    Keywords : Cosmology; Galaxy Formation; Globular Clusters; First Stars; Dark Matter; Cosmic Dawn; Reionization; Ultra-Faint Dwarfs;

    Abstract : In the standard model of cosmology (ΛCDM) the first stars, star clusters, and galaxies are expected to have formed in short bursts of star formation in low-mass dark matter halos at high redshifts (). Up to this point, attempts to predict the properties and abundances of these luminous objects have made use of numerically expensive cosmological simulations. READ MORE
