  1. 46. Particle Trajectory Simulations for SCIENA-N : Conversion surface design for an ENA sensor head

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Anja Möslinger; [2021]
    Keywords : ENA sensor; plasma; comets;

    Abstract : This thesis serves as a preliminary design study for the combination of a flight-proven ion optics system (SWIM) with a conversion surface to create a small energetic neutral atom (ENA) sensor. It is planned to use this sensor as ENA sensor for the DFP-SCIENA instrument on Comet Interceptor. READ MORE

  3. 47. Detecting Earth-like exoplanets using high-dispersion nulling interferometry

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Germain Garreau; [2021]
    Keywords : Applied Physics; Instrumental Optics; Exoplanets Detection; Interferometry; Spectroscopy; Tillämpad fysik; Instrumentoptik; Exoplaneter upptäckt; Interferometri; Spektroskopi;

    Abstract : The detection of Earth-like exoplanets and the characterization of their atmospheres is a challenge one needs to solve to assess their habitability and the presence of life in the universe. If this challenge is still unresolved today, even in the era of giant telescopes, it is mainly because of the very high contrast between these exoplanets and their host star and also their proximity.

  4. 48. Towards a high resolution view of infrared line formation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Martin Schmidt Montelius; [2021]
    Keywords : Spectroscopy; Near infrared; K giants; Galactic archeaology; Galactic chemical evolution; Abundances; Milky Way; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Observing in the infrared has many benefits, such as seeing through the interstellar dust in the galaxy, easier use of adaptive optics, and better flux ratios for direct observations of exoplanets. Before the infrared spectral range can be utilised for highly accurate stellar spectroscopy there is a need for a better understanding of both stellar modelling and the atomic physics that go into forming spectral lines.

  5. 49. Electromagnetic Phase Engineering With Metamaterials

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Olof Sjödin; [2021]
    Keywords : Applied Physics; Electromagnetism; Metamaterials; MIM; Plasmonics; FEM; Reflector design; Phase engineering; Tillämpad fysik; Elektromagnetism; Metamaterial; MIM; Plasmonics; FEM; Reflektor design; Fasdesign;

    Abstract : Metamaterials are artificially designed materials with desired electromagneticresponses for advanced wave manipulation. Their key constituent is often somenoble metal, thanks to its well localized plasmonic effects with highextinction cross section. READ MORE

  6. 50. 3D-Printed Geodesic Reflective Luneburg Lens Antenna for X-Band

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : David Oxelmark; Lukas Jonasson; [2021]
    Keywords : 3D-printing; Geodesic lens; Reflective Luneburg lens; Transformation optics; Waveguide; X-band;

    Abstract : With the rise of 5G and the increasing number ofdevices, novel antenna designs are needed to meet the demandof the future. In this report, the authors present a design andexperimental verification of a 3D-printed Geodesic ModulatedReflective Luneburg lens antenna working at the X-Band, 8-12GHz. READ MORE
