  1. 1. Ion and ENA precipitation onto the upper atmosphere of Venus : Estimate of precipitation maps using data from a hybrid model

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

    Author : Lorenzo Obersnel; [2023]
    Keywords : Eneregetic Neutral Atoms; Venus; Ion precipitation; ENA precipitation; Atomi Neutri Energetici; Venere; precipitazione di ioni; precipitazione di atomi neutri; Energisk Neutral Atom; Venus; Utfällningen joner; Utfällningen Energisk Neutral Atom;

    Abstract : Venus does not have a strong intrinsic magnetic field as the Earth, and its magnetosphere is induced by the interaction of the solar wind with the ionosphere. The near-Venus space environment is characterized by the presence of a bow shock and of an induced magnetic boundary linked to the interplanetary magnetic field orientation. READ MORE

  3. 2. Ly-α Dayglow on Uranus : Radiative Transfer Modelling

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

    Author : Jahangir Jazayeri; [2021]
    Keywords : Uranus; Lyman-alpha; Ly-α; resonant scattering; Rayleigh scattering; interplanetary medium; ultraviolet; hydrogen; methane; parameter study; limb brightening; Voyager 2; Ultraviolet Spectrometer;

    Abstract : Uranus is one of the least explored planets in our solar system. Event though the Uranian Ly-α emission has been a subject of study for decades, there is not a consensus on the sources contribution to the total signal. READ MORE

  4. 3. Effects of planetary radius contraction on scattering

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Viktor Hrannar Jónsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : 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

  5. 4. Stars Eating Planets

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : John Wimarsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Earth and planetary astrophysics; planetary dynamics; planet-planet scattering; planet consumption; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : 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

  6. 5. The astronomical consequences of primordial black holes

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Loke Lönnblad Ohlin; [2019]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In the radiation or early matter dominated eras of the Universe, there is a theoretical possibility for the formation of black holes (BHs). These primordial black holes (PBHs) have been thought of as a possible candidate for dark matter (DM), and an attractive one at that as it would explain DM using only baryonic physics. READ MORE
