The rise and fall of the nuclear transient PS16dtm
Tanja Petrushevska, 2022, published scientific conference contribution abstract

Abstract: Thanks to the advent of large-scale optical surveys, a diverse set of flares from the nuclear regions of galaxies has recently been discovered. These include the disruption of stars by supermassive black holes at the centres of galaxies - nuclear transients known as tidal disruption events (TDEs). Active galactic nuclei (AGN) can show extreme changes in the brightness and emission line intensities, often referred to as changing-look AGN (CLAGN).  Given the physical and observational similarities, the interpretation and distinction of nuclear transients as CLAGN or TDEs remains difficult. One of the obstacles of making progress in the field is the lack of well-sampled data of long-lived nuclear outbursts in AGN. I will present PS16dtm, a nuclear transient in a Narrow Line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1) galaxy which has been proposed to be a TDE candidate. I will show our multi-year spectroscopic and photometric study of PS16dtm, which can help us to better understand the outbursts originating in NLSy1 galaxies.

Cluster-lensed supernovae with the Roman Space Telescope and Vera Rubin observatory
Mateusz Bronikowski, Tanja Petrushevska, Justin Pierel, 2022, published scientific conference contribution abstract

Abstract: I will present our current efforts to enable the use of strongly lensed supernovae behind galaxy clusters as powerful tools to tackle several open questions in astrophysics and cosmology. As a preparatory task, we are collecting all available gravitational telescopes into a database, and estimating the properties of all reported multiply-imaged galaxies behind clusters. We are building a tool that will enable accurate estimates of cluster-lensed supernova yields for a given survey. In addition, we are developing the methods to extract the cosmological parameters from cluster-lensed supernovae in the Rubin and Roman data.

Optimizacija naravnega prezračevanja v enodružinski hiši s povišano koncentracijo radona
Tanja Buh, 2022, master's thesis

Abstract: Radon (222Rn) je naravni radioaktivni plin, ki ob daljši izpostavljenosti pri človeku poveča tveganje za nastanek pljučnega raka. V stavbe vstopa 222Rn preko stavbnega ovoja, ki je v stiku z zemljino, zato je njegova koncentracija v zraku stavb odvisna od koncentracije v talnem zraku, kakovosti gradnje, meteoroloških dejavnikov in prezračevanja (naravno ali mehansko). Za raziskavo smo izbrali dve sosednji stanovanjski stavbi: (i) novejšo naseljeno z dobro zrakotesnostjo stavbnega ovoja in (ii) starejšo nenaseljeno s slabšo zrakotesnostjo stavbnega ovoja. V obeh stavbah smo v obdobju april–december 2021 merili koncentracije 222Rn, v novejši stavbi pa smo s pomočjo simulacije optimizirali prezračevanje. Najprej smo izvedli tridnevne (tj. kratkotrajne) kontinuirne meritve koncentracije 222Rn v izbranih prostorih obeh stavb. Na osnovi rezultatov smo izbrali prostore za nadaljnje meritve, in sicer v novejši (študentsko sobo, dnevno sobo in klet) in v starejši stavbi (kopalnico), kjer smo izvedli večtedenske (t.i. dolgotrajne) kontinuirne meritve koncentracije 222Rn v vseh letnih časih. Ugotovili smo, da so povprečne letne koncentracije 222Rn v novejši stavbi pod referenčno mejo 300 Bq/m3 (študentska soba 179±63 Bq/m3, dnevna soba 114±35 Bq/m3) ter povišane v kleti (1038±477 Bq/m3) in v starejši stavbi (1927±1461 Bq/m3). V nadaljevanju je bil poudarek raziskave na študentski sobi, kjer smo jeseni in pozimi, sočasno s koncentracijo 222Rn, kontinuirno merili še koncentracijo CO2 in spremljali pogostost in trajanje naravnega prezračevanja (odpiranje balkonskih vrat). Kljub pogostemu prezračevanju, so v obeh letnih časih zgodaj zjutraj koncentracije 222Rn večkrat presegle 250 Bq/m3, koncentracije CO2 pa 2000 ppm. Koncentracije 222Rn in CO2 smo nato še simulirali v programu CONTAM 3.4.0.1 z različnimi načrtovanimi stopnjami prezračevanja (DVR). Kriterij, ki smo ga pri tem upoštevali je bil, da koncentraciji 222Rn in CO2 ne presežeta mejne vrednosti (100 Bq/m3 za 222Rn in 1000 ppm za CO2). Jeseni smo ta pogoj dosegli pri 25,0 m3/h (0,5/h) za 222Rn in 69,9 m3/h (1,4/h) za CO2. Pozimi tega pogoja nismo mogli doseči za 222Rn niti z DVR 89,9 m3/h (1,8/h), za CO2 smo ga zagotovili pri DVR 69,9 m3/h (1,4/h). Ker tako visoke stopnje izmenjav zraka težko dosežemo z naravnim prezračevanjem, smo predlagali vgradnjo prezračevalnega sistema. Izračunali smo še letno efektivno dozo, ki jo zaradi 222Rn in produktov v zraku prejme oseba v študentski sobi (4 mSv), ki je višja od povprečne efektivne doze v svetovnem merilu (1,15 mSv/leto). Povišana efektivna doza še dodatno potrjuje smiselnost vgradnje prezračevalnega sistema.
