  2. 1. Stellar kinematics in surveys and simulations

    Author : Daniel Mikkola; Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Galactic dynamics; stellar dynamics; simulations; Gaia; Galactic dynamics; Stellar kinematics; Numerical simulations; Statistical methods; Solar neighborhood;

    Abstract : We study stellar motions in the Milky Way with N-body simulations and large astrometric samples from ESA's Gaia mission. We identify two kinematic populations for white dwarfs in the Solar neighbourhood. We also investigate the accreted halo and reveal two new structures. READ MORE

  4. 2. Numerical Studies of Extragalactic Objects. Analysis of mmVLBI Observations and Simulations of Barred Spiral Galaxies

    Author : Mikael Lerner; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; quasars; galactic dynamics; barred galaxies; N-body simulations; VLBI; model fitting;

    Abstract : Numerical studies related to high-frequency VLBI observations of quasars and dynamics of barred spiral galaxies have been performed. Data from a global 100 GHz VLBI experiment has been reduced and a radio image of the quasar 3C 446 with the highest resolution achieved to date has been produced. READ MORE

  5. 3. The Dynamics of Star Cluster Formation

    Author : Juan Pablo Farias Osses; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Star Cluster Formation; Star Formation; N-body simulations; Astronomy Astrophysics;

    Abstract : How do star clusters form? We care, since these are the birth sites of most stars, perhaps including our own Sun. There are a great variety of different theoretical models of cluster formation and our main goal in this thesis is to examine the implications of these for the dynamical evolution of a cluster's stellar population, including the ejected stars.

  6. 4. Radial Velocities Without Spectroscopy -Astrometric determination of stellar radial motion

    Author : Søren Madsen; Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Astronomi; Hipparcos; Astronomy; space research; cosmic chemistry; astrometry; stellar astrophysics; N-body simulations; Open clusters and associations; cluster kinematics and dynamics; rymdvetenskap; kosmisk kemi;

    Abstract : This work demonstrates the determination of absolute stellar radial velocities from geometrical principles, i.e. using astrometry. Such `astrometric radial velocities' are obtained independently of spectroscopic information. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cosmological Dark Matter and the Isotropic Gamma-Ray Background : Measurements and Upper Limits

    Author : Alexander Sellerholm; Jan Conrad; Karl Mannheim; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dark matter theory; dark matter simulations; dark matter experiments; isotropic gamma-ray background; Fermi gamma-ray space telescope; Astroparticle physics; Astropartikelfysik; teoretisk fysik; Theoretical Physics;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses the isotropic diffuse gamma-ray background, as measured by the Fermi gamma ray space telescope, and its implications for indirect detection of dark matter. We describe the measurement of the isotropic background, including also an alternative analysis method besides the one published by the Fermi-LAT collaboration. READ MORE
