11. Planetary boundary layer height measurements in a rural environment in southern Sweden - Relation to meteorological parameters and aerosol particle concentrations
University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : The aim of this project is to analyse planetary boundary layer height (BLH) measurements from the Hyltemossa research station and find their dependence on seasonality, time of day, and air temperature. Further, investigation was made into the correlation between mass concentration of particulate matter with equivalent diameter... READ MORE

12. Effects of planetary radius contraction on scattering
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : The observed high orbital eccentricities of many giant exoplanets is thought to be the result of gravitational scattering between planets. Outcomes of planet-planet scattering can result in some planets being lost by ejections into interstellar space, or collisions between planets or with the star. READ MORE

13. Stars Eating Planets
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : In a phase of instability during the dynamical evolution of some multiple exoplanetary systems, exchange of angular momentum and/or energy through gravitational interactions between planets will lead to alterations of their orbital properties. In some cases, planetary orbits end up crossing, which leads to close encounters between two planets. READ MORE

14. How did Jupiter form?
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : Two relatively new concepts in planetary science are planetary migration; wherein the planets migrate through the protoplanetary disk as they form, and pebble accretion; wherein the planetesimals which become terrestrial planets and giant planet cores grow through the accretion of small pebbles. Planetary migration has become a generally accepted concept but there is still much to be learned even about how it affected the formation of our own solar system. READ MORE

15. How Stellar Tides Affect Planet Evolution
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisationAbstract : Planets that orbit their host star closely experience tidal forces due to the strength of gravity not being uniform all over the planet. This leads to effects such as tidal spin synchronization, tidal eccentricity damping and tidal semi-major axis damping. READ MORE
