Oberg, N.O. (author), Kamp, I. (author), Cazaux, S.M. (author), Rab, Ch (author), Czoske, O. (author)Context. Gaining a full understanding of the planet and moon formation process calls for observations that probe the circumplanetary environment of accreting giant planets. The mid-infrared ELT imager and spectrograph (METIS) will provide a unique capability to detect warm-gas emission lines from circumplanetary disks. Aims. We aim to...journal article 2023

Ras, Wilbert (author)Today, one of the major goals of modern astronomy is the search for other habitable worlds and the presence of life on them. Crucial in this search is the atmospheric characterisation of small, rocky planets orbiting in the habitable zone around solar type stars. The LIFE initiative will be able to perform atmospheric characterisation of a...master thesis 2022

Grille Guerra, Adrian (author)Unmanned aerial vehicles have proliferated in the last few decades, with applications that include military, commercial and recreational. Their size and typical flight velocities are characterized by moderate Reynolds numbers <i>O</i>(10^4-10^5). For such conditions, boundary layers can remain laminar and therefore are highly susceptible to...master thesis 2022

de Vries, Roelof Jan (author)In the DST project, a deployable space telescope is designed for the thermal infrared spectrum. For this project, a new Systems Engineering (SE) approach was needed, since the SE was outdated and the project worked in silos. Important goals for the SE approach were that it was easy to use and minimizes the workload by automating as much as...master thesis 2022

Dehaine, Quentin (author), Tijsseling, Laurens T. (author), Rollinson, Gavyn K. (author), Buxton, M.W.N. (author), Glass, Hylke J. (author)Cobalt (Co) mine production primarily originates from the sediment‐hosted copper (Cu) deposits of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). These deposits usually consist of three ore zones with a supergene oxide ore blanket overlying a transition zone which grades into a sulphide zone at depth. Each of these zones display a mineral assemblage...journal article 2022

Rassels, K. (author), French, P.J. (author)Premature birth complications have different causes and vary in different parts of the world with sepsis as one of the leading causes of these complications. The body releases anti-inflammatory substances when an infection is detected and this, in turn, could damage healthy organs, especially when they are not fully developed. Preterm babies...conference paper 2022
