We are excited to announce that Pedro Motta—PhD student in his second year in our group—is having the opportunity to visit the Los Alamos National Laboratory during winter (southern hemisphere’s). He is visiting LANL between mid-June and early August to work with our collaborator Alejandro Cárdenas-Avendaño (Feynman Fellow at LANL and soon-to-be Assistant Professor) and others on topics related to his thesis work.
We are excited for Pedro!
The PhD students of the group working on gamma-ray observations—Fabio and Raniere—spent the last two weeks in Washington DC and surroundings. They went to the Fermi LAT Collaboration meeting at George Washington University, where they interacted with gamma-ray astronomers in the Fermi Collaboration. Raniere presented his ongoing analysis of the gamma-ray emission of a population of nearby AGNs.
Following the Collaboration meeting, the students presented their research at the Fermi Symposium in Baltimore. Raniere presented a poster about his work on the pulsar populations in Milky Way globular clusters—which is about to be submitted for publication—while Fabio gave a talk describing his analysis of the gamma-ray emission from the Galactic Center on constraints on Sgr A* physics.
After the symposium, Fabio and Raniere spent a couple of days visiting NASA Goddard Space Flight Center to discuss their research with GSFC scientists.
Their visit was possible thanks to NASA funds, grant xxxxxx.
Our PhD student Gustavo Soares will be visiting the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Northwestern to work under the supervision of Prof. Alexander Tchekhovskoy for six months. Gustavo will continue his work on general relativistic MHD simulations of accretion black holes and their radiative signatures. Have a productive visit, Gustavo!
Gustavo’s visit will be funded by CAPES.
