  1. 6. Defining dark jets at the particle level

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Gustav Lindberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Particle physics; Dark matter; QCD; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : One hypothesis that attempts to explain dark matter is dark QCD, which suggests that there would be a dark sector made up of dark quarks. Dark quarks would interact with each other through dark QCD similar to how Standard Model quarks interact with each other through Standard Model QCD. READ MORE

  3. 7. The tangled Warp of the Milky Way

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

    Author : Viktor Hrannar Jónsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Galaxy: structure; Galaxy: kinematics and dynamics; Galaxy: disk; Galaxy: evolution; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Context: The Milky Way disc, like the discs of many other spiral galaxies, has been shown to be warped. The growing astrometric data set for stars produced by the Gaia mission allows for more detailed studies of the stellar disc's warp. READ MORE

  4. 8. Error propagation in nuclear models

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Artis Mucenieks; [2023]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this thesis we perform error analysis of a nuclear model based on density-functional theory developed in Lund. The Lund model allows us to perform calculations of nuclear spectra more efficiently by constructing a simple effective Hamiltonian reproducing the quadrupole deformation and pairing interaction strength parameters of a spherical Hartree-Fock reference functional.

  5. 9. Intermediate-mass black hole binary as an origin of super-massive black holes

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

    Author : Isabelle Signe Maj Maria Thord; [2023]
    Keywords : Intermediate-mass black holes; binary; merger; hardening; encounters; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Galactic nuclei contain super-massive black holes (SMBHs), nuclear stellar clusters (NSCs), or both. In the NSC, intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are likely to reside and form highly eccentric binaries. Over time, the orbit of a binary could harden via interaction with surrounding low-mass stars. READ MORE

  6. 10. Towards Automatic Model Atoms from the VALD Atomic Database: from He to U

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk astrofysik

    Author : Samuel Hermansson; [2023]
    Keywords : r-process; nucleosynthesis; kilonovae; VALD;

    Abstract : The ejecta following the collision and merging of two neutron stars (kilonova) are currently considered promising sites for nucleosynthesis of r-process elements. Since the observed kilonova in 2017, GW2017817, astrophysicists have been working to analyze the collected electromagnetic spectra, trying to identify r-process elements. READ MORE
