11. 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
12. Search for low mass WIMPs with the AMANDA neutrino telescope
Sammanfattning : Recent measurements show that dark matter makes up at least one fifth of the total energy density of the Universe. The nature of the dark matter is one of the biggest mysteries in current particle physics and cosmology. LÄS MER
13. Observations of young core collapse supernova remnants
Sammanfattning : Studies of young remnants offer an opportunity to test theoretical models of stellar evolution, explosion models and nucleosynthesis, as well as our understanding of the compact objects in the centre of the exploded stars.The first part of the thesis involves observations of the Crab nebula. LÄS MER
14. Advances in Stellar Astrophysics from Laboratory Spectroscopy
Sammanfattning : Investigation of astrophysical plasmas, such as stellar atmospheres, require both knowledge of atomic structure and data. We present laboratory instruments, techniques and tools for acquisition of the data required to derive important atomic parameters such as, wavelengths, oscillator strengths and line profiles.

15. Modelling the Winds from Carbon Rich AGB Stars : Implications for Stellar Evolution and the Chemical Evolution of Galaxies
Sammanfattning : Stars on the AGB are known to lose mass at high rates (10-8 - 10-4 Msun/yr) through slow winds (20 km/s), enriching the inter stellar medium with newly synthesised elements. We explore how the mass loss for C-rich AGB stars depends on the basic stellar parameters by computing a large grid of wind models. LÄS MER
