1. Clues to galaxy evolution from spectroscopic observations of Galactic centre stars
Abstract : In this work we present results from spectroscopic observations of Galactic centre stars. High resolution stellar spectroscopy can be used to determine accurate stellar metallicities and abundances. Observing stars in the Galactic centre is challenging due to extreme extinction. READ MORE

2. Indirect Searches for Galactic Dark Matter with IceCube-DeepCore and PINGU
Abstract : The cubic-kilometer sized IceCube neutrino observatory is burieddeep in the glacial ice at the Earth’s South Pole. Its low-energyextension array DeepCore enables physicists to search indirectlyfor light Dark Matter (DM) particles with masses as low as tensof GeV/c2 situated within our home galaxy, the Milky Way.

3. The OH/IR Star Population in the Galactic Center
Abstract : The OH/IR stars and M-type Mira variables, that form the topic of this thesis are in two important ways different from OH/IR stars found elsewhere in the Galaxy. Their location in the central few tens of parsecs of the Galactic center allows one to study the dynamics of the Galaxy on that scale, and to investigata a population of evolved stars with a high metal abundance.

4. A Search for Dark Matter Lines with H.E.S.S. II
Abstract : Most of the matter in the universe, ~80% is thought to be dark matter- particles that have small or no interactions with standard model particles. Dark matter is an integral part of the current understanding of cosmology, and leaves signs in the movements of stars and galaxies, as well as the Cosmic Microwave Background. READ MORE

5. Indirect Searches for Dark Matter in the Milky Way with IceCube-DeepCore
Abstract : Many astronomical observations, including rotational curve measurements of stars and the analysis of the cosmic microwave background, suggest the existence of an invisible matter density content in the Universe, commonly called Dark Matter (DM). Possibly, DM could be of particle nature, where Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) could be a viable DM candidate. READ MORE
