  1. 1. Have Radial Velocity Surveys Missed Any Planets?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Shah Raj; [2021]
    Keywords : radial velocity survey; transit method; exoplanet; habitable zone; habitable zone boundaries; HZ; early Mars; recent Venus; stability; instability; chaos; REBOUND; MEGNO; MEGNO maps; Hill sphere; stable systems; unstable systems; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The project was aimed at numerically assessing exoplanetary systems to distinguish their capabilities of hosting additional planets. The shortcomings of the radial velocity method sometimes causes hindrance in the detection of terrestrial planets. READ MORE

  3. 2. Efficient Discovery Of Binary Stars

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Pablo Navarro Barrachina; [2020]
    Keywords : Binary Stars; Spectroscopic binary stars; SB2; Machine Learning; Data Mining; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Purpose: even in the era of exponential increase in the amount of stellar data gathered, binaries are still often overlooked in observational data due to the special handling they require. The goal of this work is to develop a method capable of automatically and efficiently identifying and extract double-lined spectroscopic binaries (SB2) from a spectroscopic survey, while being scalable and technically successful, and to identify and optimize the parameters that influence their detection.

  4. 3. Searching for Exoplanets in K2 Data

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Iskra Georgieva; [2018]
    Keywords : exoplanets; transit method;

    Abstract : The field of extrasolar planets is undoubtedly one of the most exciting and fast-moving in astronomy. Thanks to the Kepler Space Telescope, which has given us the Kepler and K2 missions, we now have thousands of planets to study and thousands more candidates waiting to be confirmed. READ MORE

  5. 4. The detectability of single- and multiple-planet systems in Gaia data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Martin Gustavsson; [2015]
    Keywords : Gaia; Astrometry; Exoplanets; Orbit-fitting; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The all-sky survey of Gaia will generate vast amounts of astrometric data, in which there are expected to be thousands of planets found. Finding a system of $n_\textup{p}$ planets requires fitting of a total $5+7n_\textup{p}$ parameters: five astrometric and seven Keplerian parameters for every planet. READ MORE

  6. 5. A comparison of two approaches for estimating local stellar kinematics: The Projection Method versus Maximum Likelihodd

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Toktam Aghajani; [2011]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : We test a new approach to calculate the mean velocity and velocity dispersion for a sample of nearby stars when their radial velocities are not available. The most commonly used method (here called the projection method, PM) was introduced in a paper by Dehnen & Binney (1998). READ MORE
