1. Magnetic fields of cool active stars
Sammanfattning : Magnetic fields are present throughout the universe and are very important for many astrophysical processes. Magnetic field influences a star throughout its life and affects nearby objects such as planets. LÄS MER
2. Stellar Winds of Cool Giants : Investigating the Mass-Loss Mechanism of AGB Stars
Sammanfattning : Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are luminous cool giants of low to intermediate mass that are strongly pulsating and non-spherical, with heavy mass loss through a stellar wind. The mass loss makes these stars important for galactic chemistry, as the wind enriches the interstellar medium with new elements and dust, and it determines the final fate of these stars. LÄS MER
3. Magnetic fields of cool stars from near-infrared spectropolarimetry
Sammanfattning : Magnetic fields rule many physical processes in and around stars throughout their lifetime. All cool stars possess a magnetic field, likely generated by dynamo processes. In order to properly understand the evolution of cool stars, we need to understand their magnetism. LÄS MER
4. Spectral Analysis of Neutron Capture Elements in the Laboratory and Stars
Sammanfattning : The pedigree of the elements heavier than iron is a vital question in the history and evolution of our galaxy. The elements up to and including those of the iron group are produced mainly through fusion processes within stars, giving the stars their energy. LÄS MER
5. Dynamical atmospheres and winds of M-type AGB stars
Sammanfattning : Mass loss, in the form of slow stellar winds, is a decisive factor for the evolution of cool luminous giants, eventually turning them into white dwarfs. These dense outflows are also a key factor in the enrichment of the interstellar medium with newly produced elements from the interior of these stars. LÄS MER
