  2. 1. Classical molecular dynamics simulations of collision-induced absorption : method development and evaluation

    Author : Wissam Fakhardji; Magnus Gustafsson; Javier Martin-Torres; Jean-Michel Hartmann; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Applied Physics; Tillämpad fysik;

    Abstract : In this thesis collision-induced absorption (CIA) coefficients are computed using molec-ular dynamics (MD) simulations. Part I is dedicated to the theoretical frame of the method, from the classical theory radiation to the derivation of an absorption coefficient. READ MORE

  4. 2. Atmospheric Species and Spectral Radiation in Terrestrial Exoplanets : Implications for Astrobiology

    Author : Samuel Konatham; Javier Martin-Torres; María-Paz Zorzano Mier; Akos Kereszturi; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Exoplanets; Atmospheres; Habitability; Human vision; Scotopic vision; Photopic vision; Spectral radaition; Atmosfärsvetenskap; Atmospheric science;

    Abstract : The physical properties of the planets and their parent stars are fundamental in the composition of atmospheres and radiative environments, which fundamentally determine their surface temperature and habitability. The atmospheric composition and radiation play a vital role in the emergence of life. READ MORE

  5. 3. Development of robotic instruments and techniques for space and astrobiological exploration and research

    Author : Thasshwin Mathanlal; Javier Martin-Torres; Maria-Paz Zorzano Mier; Anshuman Bhardwaj; Colin Wilson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Atmospheric science; Atmosfärsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Astrobiology is the study of life in the universe. The search for life beyond the Earth requires an understanding of the signatures of life, and of the nature of the environments that support it. Space exploration is a crucial factor to achieve these goals. READ MORE

  6. 4. Scientific Instruments to Facilitate the Human Exploration of Mars

    Author : Miracle Israel Nazarious; María-Paz Zorzano Mier; Javier Martin-Torres; Tajmar Martin; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Atmospheric science; Atmosfärsvetenskap;

    Abstract : This PhD thesis describes, from an engineering perspective, some of the preliminary steps that need to be implemented to facilitate the human exploration of Mars. It focuses on the development of a set of novel scientific or technology demonstrator instruments. READ MORE

  7. 5. Ionic Liquid Lubricants for Space Applications

    Author : Erik Nyberg; Ichiro Minami; Javier Martin-Torres; Maria-Dolores Bermudez; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Machine Elements; Maskinelement;

    Abstract : Lubrication is critical to the efficient and reliable operation of machine elements such as gears, bearings, or any other moving mechanical assembly (MMA). On Earth, machine designers are accustomed to the access of a wide range of liquid lubricants that enable predictable and reliable long-term operations of high performance MMA. READ MORE
