Thesis topics in the astronomy department

Cosmology

Spatial correlation of hot cosmic plasma and galaxies

Supervisor Jukka Nevalainen, Tartu Observatory. Contact jukka.nevalainen [ät] ut.ee

The galaxies and the hot cosmic plasma appear spatially well correlated in Cosmic Web filaments. The dark matter probably binds them together. The task is to prove this mathematically by applying statistical methods to the distribution of galaxies and gas particles in the EAGLE large scale simulations.

The baryonic fraction in the cosmic filaments

Supervisor Jukka Nevalainen, Tartu Observatory. Contact jukka.nevalainen [ät] ut.ee

The filaments of the Cosmic Web contain dark matter and normal matter. The task is to derive mass density profiles in the filaments in the EAGLE large scale simulations to understand how the different mass components behave.

Search for the Missing Baryons
Supervisors Dr. Jukka Nevalainen, Prof. Elmo Tempel, Tartu Observatory. Contact jukka.nevalainen [ät] ut.ee, elmo.tempel [ät] ut.ee

50% of the normal (baryonic) local matter, predicted by the current cosmology, is not detected, i.e. missing. Simulations indicate that these missing baryons reside in a form of Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM) which is very difficult to observe. We have developed a tool for finding WHIM by using galaxy luminosity density as a tracer. The aim of the work is to apply our tool to sight lines in SDSS an 2dF surveys, to find WHIM structures.

Stellar physics

The chemical element content of stars and their planets
Supervisor Mihkel Kama, Tartu Observatory. Contact mihkel.kama [ät] ut.ee

Thesis projects for physics or data science students.

Soon after the discovery of the first exoplanets, a correlation was found between the stellar metallicity (in practice: iron content) and the probability of hosting a hot Jupiter type exoplanet (Gonzalez 1997; Fischer & Valenti 2005). This is explained by planet formation models. Although other chemical elements have since been hypothesized to relate to the presence or properties of planets, nothing definitive has yet been found.

In this project you can observe and process spectra of stars with planets or planet-forming disks, focussing in particular on measuring the abundances of important elements with weak spectral lines. Students with an interest in data science can focus on improving a spectral fitting tool under development in our team.

The project can give you experience in observational or theoretical stellar physics, planet formation, data processing and analysis, and Bayesian methods.

This work is related to preparations at Tartu Observatory for the European Space Agency's Ariel exoplanet mission. If you're interested, it's possible to both enter the exoplanet field and get more closely familiar with the Ariel mission through this project.
