Other Astrophysics Projects

 

I have been involved in several additional projects of time variable astronomy:

·          Observations and reduction of data from the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) survey, while focusing on Supernova – the catastrophic deaths of stars.

·          Observations of gravitational microlensing events to detect exoplanets, as part of the μFun collaboration.

·          Ground-based observations of 9P/Temple 1 during the Deep Impact mission.

·          Optical lightcurves of gamma-ray bursts.

·          Observations and analysis of meteor showers to parameterize their lightcurves.
