  1. 1. Clues to galaxy evolution from spectroscopic observations of Galactic centre stars

    Författare :Brian Thorsbro; Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemical abundances; Late-type stars; Star clusters; Galactic center; Galaxy chemical evolution; Chemical enrichment;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Indirect Searches for Galactic Dark Matter with IceCube-DeepCore and PINGU

    Författare :Martin Wolf; Chad Finley; David Milstead; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dark Matter; Galactic Center; IceCube; DeepCore; PINGU;

    Sammanfattning : 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.

  4. 3. The OH/IR Star Population in the Galactic Center

    Författare :Loránt Olivér Sjouwerman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : 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.

  5. 4. Goulds bälte : en undersökning av dess utsträckning och rörelseförhållanden

    Författare :Tor N. G. Westin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : To investigate the kinematics of the local system of stars and to determine the extent of the Gould belt system, bright nearby early type stars in different age groups have been examined. The mean plane of the stars younger than 20 million years was found to be inclined to the galactic plane by 19°, while the mean plane of the stars older than 60 million years is practically coincident with the galactic plane.

  7. 5. A Search for Dark Matter Lines with H.E.S.S. II

    Författare :Knut Dundas Morå; Jan Conrad; Christian Farnier; Christian Walck; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dark Matter; Cherenkov Telescopes; Indirect Detection; fysik; Physics;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
