  1. 16. Do variations in the initial mass function affect galaxy evolution?

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

    Author : Mateo Prgomet; [2020]
    Keywords : galaxy; galaxy formation; galaxy evolution; feedback; star formation; ultra faint dwarf galaxy; initial mass function; variations; universe; redshift; hydrodynamics; cosmology; zoomed-in simulations Galaxy formation and evolution; galaxy feedback; stellar feedback; IMF variations; cosmological zoomed-in simulations; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The initial mass function (IMF) describes the stellar mass distribution for a population of stars at birth. This parameter represents a topic of long standing discussion within astronomy due to its apparent insensitive nature to environmental conditions. However, in the last decade, significant evidence suggesting the contrary has been presented. READ MORE

  3. 17. From the bulge region to the outer disk: Tracing the α-enhancement level in the Galactic thin and thick disks

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Elin Sandvik; [2020]
    Keywords : Chemical abundance; star formation rate; initial-mass function; APOGEE; Milky Way; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : One of the biggest mysteries astronomers wish to unveil is the formation and evolution of galaxies. Properties of our own galaxy, the Milky Way, can provide great insight into these. The star formation rate (SFR) and whether it varies with distance from the galactic centre (GC), is one of these properties. READ MORE

  4. 18. Geoeffectiveness of Magnetosheath Jets

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Linus Norenius; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this report we present spacecraft and ground-based observations of magnetosheath jets impacting the magnetosphere, both as a case study and a statistical study. In the case study, jets were detected in the magnetosheath by the Magnetospheric MultiScale mission, MMS. READ MORE

  5. 19. THE IMF, CHINA AND CONDITIONALITY

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Alastair Grant; [2019]
    Keywords : Social Sciences;

    Abstract : This research is an attempt to critically examine the impact that China’s aid program has had upon IMF conditionality. By building upon the work of Diego Hernandez (2017) who found that with every 1% increase in Chinese aid, the World Bank typically lessens its conditions for market liberalisation and economic transparency by 15%, this paper looks at the background surrounding China’s rise to become an aid super power, the background of aid conditionality, and the IMF.

    Keywords : China; Africa; China-Africa trade.;

    Abstract : According to the IMF, China is today the second world economic power with respect to nominal GDP, an increase from 6th place in the year 2000. Though its GDP surpassed that of the US in 2015 with respect to PPP. On the other side, China is the largest manufacturer and exporter of goods and the second-largest importer of goods worldwide.
