Pacheco Mateo, Daniel (Fecha de defensa: 2019-04-30)
The Sun is the main source of all kind of solar energetic particles in the Solar System, electrons, protons and ions with energies from few keV to several GeV. These particles are released from the solar corona and spread ...
Llorens Giralt, Quim (Fecha de defensa: 2024-09-20)
[eng] This thesis explores and combines, through the lens of the holographic correspondence, two relevant topics in the field of gravitational high-energy theory: higher-derivative theories of gravity and brane-world ...
Bernal Mera, José Luis (Fecha de defensa: 2019-09-13)
Cosmology is the science that studies the Universe as whole, aiming to understand its origin, composition and evolution. During the last decades, cosmology has transitioned from a “data staved” to a “data driven” science, ...
Short, Kathleen (Fecha de defensa: 2022-12-12)
[eng] The overwhelming evidence for the existence of dark matter in the Universe, and the discovery of the neutrino masses, are striking indicators of the need for new physics beyond the ΛCDM and Standard Model paradigms. ...
Sanglás Martín, Albert (Fecha de defensa: 2023-10-10)
[eng] This thesis investigates primordial black holes and their observational consequences. In the first part, we examine the behavior of domain walls produced during inflation, and their subsequent collapse, leading to ...
Licht, David (Fecha de defensa: 2021-04-14)
In this thesis we present a new aspect pertaining to the effective field theory of general relativity in the limit of a large number D of dimensions. We demonstrate that the theory initially developed to capture the physics ...
Valcin, David (Fecha de defensa: 2021-09-28)
CONTEXT: The current ΛCDM cosmological paradigm has seen remarkable success in recent decades (whether it is the discovery of the CMB, the formation of large-scale structures, the expansion of the universe etc.). Like any ...
Rosich Salgado, Albert (Fecha de defensa: 2022-02-24)
The current trend in exoplanet research focuses on the detection and characterisation of Earth-sized planets, and the study of their potential subtle and tenuous atmospheres. The aim of this thesis is the development of ...
Luna, Raimon (Fecha de defensa: 2020-06-22)
In this thesis we apply new approaches and develop new techniques to address various issues related to fundamental aspects of modern gravitational theory and black holes. We study the behavior of black branes in the ...
Gómez Subils, Javier (Fecha de defensa: 2021-06-22)
In this thesis we have employed the holographic duality to study the non-perturbative regime of a one-parameter family of theories with multi-scale dynamics. Normally, this (super)string theory motivated duality identifies ...
Wijsen, Nicolas (Fecha de defensa: 2020-04-30)
Our modern society is becoming increasingly dependent on the constant stream of information sent out by satellites orbiting Earth. However, highly energetic rays traversing the near-Earth space environment pose a constant ...
Khalife, Ali Rida (Fecha de defensa: 2022-04-08)
Our understanding of the Universe has advanced tremendously in the past few decades, with General Relativity(GR) laying the ground for a successful model for the Universe, ΛCDM. However, there are still some fundamental ...
Tomasevic, Marija (Fecha de defensa: 2021-09-09)
In this thesis, we explore different ways in which spacetime exhibits peculiar properties when subjected to the rules of quantum mechanics. These rules are naturally implemented at the level of semiclassical physics, where ...
Mor Crespo, Roger (Fecha de defensa: 2019-06-18)
AIMS: We develop a new theoretical framework to generate Besançon Galaxy Model Fast Approximate Simulations (BGM FASt) to address fundamental questions of the Galactic structure and evolution performing multi-parameter ...
Garcia Palau, Carles (Fecha de defensa: 2022-05-12)
In this thesis we have presented a new method to search for tidal streams generated by globular clusters in the Gaia catalogue. This statistical method is based on the maximum likelihood technique to distinguish stream ...
Herrero Casas, Enrique (Fecha de defensa: 2014-10-06)
Most of the efforts on the search and characterization of Earth-like exoplanets are currently focused on low mass stars. Some important properties related to the structure and processes in this type of stars are still ...
Linares Arroyo, Hector (Fecha de defensa: 2021-07-27)
The term light pollution refers to different harmful effects produced by artificial light sources. This phenomena affects observational astronomy, the flora and fauna of the species adapted to the natural cycles of light ...
Ramos, Pau (Fecha de defensa: 2020-09-25)
The Gaia mission and its extensive catalogue of stars has marked the beginning of the Golden Age of Galactic dynamics. We have now access to the kinematics of more than a billion stars with which we can start ...
Ser Badia, Daniel del (Fecha de defensa: 2018-12-21)
The first confirmed detection of an exoplanet orbiting a main-sequence star was made in 1995, when a giant planet was found by radial velocity measurements in a four-day orbit around the nearby star 51 Pegasi by Mayor and ...
Garcia Garcia, Carlos (Fecha de defensa: 2020-11-10)
This thesis studies Dark Energy, a central topic of Modern Cosmology, from different points of view. It covers from models and parametrizations to likelihood approximations for the observations of the Large Scale Structure ...
