As a planetary scientist
and astronomer, I use photometric and spectral observations in the visible
and IR wavelength range, to study the physical nature of asteroids and their
evolution. I am an AXA post-doctoral fellow at the Department of
Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at MIT working in the
group of Prof. Richard P. Binzel. I received my
PhD from the Department of Geophysics and Planetary Sciences at Tel-Aviv University
under
the guidance of Prof. Dina Prialnik and Dr.
Noah Brosch. Studies and
projects: -
Physical examination of (175706) 1996 FG3, the target of
the Marco-Polo-R space mission. -
Studying disintegration of asteroids due to rotational fission
into separated
pairs and binary
asteroids. -
Detecting and studying asteroids in an industrial scale using
data of the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) survey
(collaborating with the experimental astrophysics group at the Weizmann
Institute of Science). -
I have also participated in other observing projects: A survey
for supernova and other transients - PTF; a survey for gravitational microlensing
events to detect exoplanets - μFun; observations of 9P/Temple 1 during the Deep Impact mission; optical lightcurves of gamma-ray bursts; observations and analysis of meteor showers. |
