1. Exocomets in the β Pictoris system
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : Comets have been a source of fascination throughout the history of man. In recent years, advances in technology have opened up for the study of extrasolar objects, among them exocomets. The first exocomets were observed in the β Pictoris system almost 50 years ago and the system has been of interest ever since. READ MORE

2. The quest for a classical bulge - a study of kinematics, abundances, and ages using microlensed dwarf stars and Gaia
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : Context: We present an kinematical analysis of 90 F and G type dwarf, turn-off, and subgiant stars in the Galactic bulge. These stars were observed with high-resolution spectrographs during gravitational microlensing events This allowed for their ages, abundances, and radial velocities to be ascertained while they were significantly brighter.

3. Thermal environment and design considerations of the Foresail-2 satellite mission
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/RymdteknikAbstract : The thermal design of small satellite missions is critical for ensuring the performance and longevity of onboard instruments. This thesis focuses on the thermal design of Foresail-2, a 6U CubeSat mission to Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO), specifically addressing the thermal challenges associated with the magnetometer located at the end of a long boom featured on the satellite.

4. Origin of blue straggler stars in the Milky Way halo
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : 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

5. Investigation of a Novel Atmosphere-Breathing Electric Propulsion Platform and Intake
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) provides many benefits for space missions, including better image resolution for Earth observation, better telecommunication link with ground stations, lower launch cost, lower risk of collisions, and fast end-of-life disposal. The last point in benefit is also the main challenge for placing satellites in VLEO. READ MORE
