  1. 1. On The Run: How Fast Runaway Stars Can Escape From Their Home Cluster?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Anna-Maria Söderman; [2022]
    Keywords : star cluster; runaway stars; velocity distribution; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Galaxies contain a wide variety of star clusters with different properties. Each cluster is a possible source of runaway stars, which can be progenitors of supernovae in other parts of the galaxy than their home cluster. Considering runaway stars in galaxy simulations has shown to increase the galactic feedback. READ MORE

  3. 2. Exploring the application of neural networks in predictions of nuclear binding energies

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Martin Waites; [2020]
    Keywords : neural networks; drip-line; nuclear physics; binding energy; exotic nuclei; Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this project the locations of the proton and neutron drip-lines are predicted using neural networks and theoretical data obtained by applying the HFBTHO program. For each of the neural networks a comparison is made between neural network predictions and experimental data in the region experimental data exists. READ MORE

  4. 3. How Odd is Betelgeuse?
