(Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2015)
Analytical models are presented for currents along vertical magnetic field lines due to slow bulk electron motion in plasmas subject to a gravitational force. It is demonstrated that a general feature of this problem is a ...
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2016)
The universe is full of stuff we cannot see, neither directly or indirectly. We do not understand the nature of the mysterious dark matter and how it interacts with normal matter. Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) provides ...

This is a post-peer-review, pre-copyedit version of an article published in Solar Physics. The final authenticated version is available online at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11207-017-1095-2
(Master thesis / Masteroppgave, 2012)
Inflation is a much discussed topic within the field of cosmology; it represents a time in the history of the Universe where a very rapid, exponential expansion was taking place. This expansion is needed in order for the ...

The Q/U-Imaging ExperimenT (QUIET) is a ground-based coherent polarimeter experiment, primarily targeting the detection of low-l B-mode polarization in the CMB. Such modes are a signature of primordial tensor perturbations, ...

Neutrino cosmology is a very interesting field of research,
where properties of some of the smallest constituents of the universe
are probed by the very largest structures of the universe; large scale
structures of the ...

The statistical analysis of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation to make estimates of the Power Spectrum is a comutationally heavy operation, involving large covariance matrices.
In this thesis I explore the possibility ...

We investigate scalar-field theories with a field-dependent coupling to matter and show the existence of a chameleon mechanism. The thin-shell solutions for a spherical body are found, and used to investigate the consequences ...

The standard model of cosmology has proven to be a great success. Through measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation, cosmologists have been able to constrain parameters such as the age and geometry of the ...
