Tartu observatooriumi astronoomiaalaste lõputööde teemad ja kirjeldused.
- Superbubbles in galaxies are the results of many stellar explosions -- supernovae. The bubble pushes the gas away from the progenitor supernovae and forms a region devoid of gas. These are not well studied objects and more research in the topic is speeding up. We propose a project to see what stages most of the bubbles are and how many stellar explosions are needed to produce these objects. (Aikaterini Niovi Triantafyllaki, Rain Kipper)
- Lopsided galaxies are a possible new tool to study the dark matter distribution in the universe. The project we propose is about analysing a sample of galaxies and studying the level of lopsidedness in their disk, intending to determine in the environments these galaxies live in. (Rain Kipper, Aikaterini Niovi Triantafyllaki)
- Star formation clumps on jellyfish galaxies. The environment around the galaxy is pushing the gas away creating tails of stars, gas and dust, giving them the image of a "jellyfish". The shape of the tail specifies what the galaxy went through. In this project we want to study the positions of regions for star formation in these tails. (Aikaterini Niovi Triantafyllaki, Rain Kipper)
- Bars in galaxies. Galaxies present different morphologies that some are stabler than others.` Unstable disks tend to be present in less circular galaxies, which can deviate as a bar or a lopsided form of the galaxies. We propose a project to study the connection between the bar and lopsidedness in these galaxies. (Rain Kipper, Aikaterini Niovi Triantafyllaki)
