1. 1. Exocomets in the β Pictoris system

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

   Author : Klaudia Jaworska; [2024]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : 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

3. 2. N-body simulations of exoplanets and their moons

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

   Author : Lydia Schollmeier; [2024]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The planet-planet interactions in a many-planet system cannot be analytically calculated. Instead, they have to be investigated by using an N-body simulation. I discuss three questions about the N-body interactions in planetary systems: The first two are on the system 55 Cnc, a system with five known planets around a K-type star. READ MORE

4. 3. Development and Implementation of Techniques for the Simulation and Processing for Future SAR Systems

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

   Author : Tim Kinnunen; [2023]
   Keywords : Synthetic Aperture Radar; SAR; Reverse Backprojection Algorithm; RBPA; Backprojection Algorithm; SAR simulator; SAR processing;

   Abstract : Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a type of radar system that can generate high-resolution images with which one can detect subtle changes on the scale of centimetres from space. It can operate in any weather condition and during both day and night, making it unique compared to optical sensors. READ MORE

5. 4. 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 institutionen

   Author : Calum Kvernes Macpherson; [2023]
   Keywords : Bulge; Milky Way; Kinematics; Galpy; Dwarf Stars; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : 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.

6. 5. Initial Orbit Determination of Resident Space Objects From A Passive Optical Imaging System: : Application to Space Situational Awareness

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

   Author : Jessica McKenna; [2023]
   Keywords : Space Situational Awareness; Space Science; Angles-Only Initial Orbit Determination;

   Abstract : The probability of satellite collisions and disintegrations cluttering the near-Earth orbital environmentis ever-growing. This is especially true for the congested Low Earth Orbit (LEO) regime; once a critical density of objects is reached, a collisional cascading is projected to generate runaway growth of theorbital population.
