  1. 1. Origin of blue straggler stars in the Milky Way halo

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

    Author : Adam Brcek; [2023]
    Keywords : Blue Straggler; Galactic Halo; Spectroscopic Surveys; Binary Star Evolution; Mass Transfer; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Blue straggler stars (BSSs) are exotic stellar objects that appear to be younger than the age of the population they come from suggests. They are observed as the extension of the main sequence stars, beyond the turn-off point. READ MORE

  3. 2. Can Dwarf Galaxies Tell Us How the Milky Way Formed?

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

    Author : Þóra Karlsdóttir; [2023]
    Keywords : Dwarf Galaxy; Milky Way; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Dwarf galaxies are a key component in understanding the evolution of galaxies and provide tests on the standard cosmological $\Lambda$ Cold Dark Matter model. According to the formation hierarchy, dwarf galaxies are the pieces that create all galaxies. Our current understanding of dwarf galaxies faces discrepancies between theory and observations.

  4. 3. The Rotational Centre of the Large Magellanic Cloud

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Alma Bergström; [2022]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC & SMC) are the two largest galaxies orbiting the Milky Way (MW). The interactions between them have affected the evolution of both galaxies. The interactions have affected the galaxies differently depending on how strong they have been. READ MORE

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. Testing the multi-epoch luminosity function of asymptotic giant branch stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud with VISTA

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Róisín O'Rourke Brogan; [2020]
    Keywords : stars: AGB; stars: late-type; stars: atmospheres; stars: variable; small magellanic cloud; magellanic system; stellar populations; model stellar populations; dwarf galaxies;

    Abstract : The physics pertaining to the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase of stellar evolution has been studied for many years. However, the mechanics behind many characteristics displayed at this stage are still not fully understood. READ MORE
