Multi-messenger Cosmology with GRBs
This project develops a joint likelihood framework for Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) prompt emission and gravitational wave signals. The goal is to calibrate GRBs as standard candles to measure the Hubble Constant ($H_0$) at high redshifts where SNe Ia are scarce.
The GAMMA Initiative (CAPIBARA Collaboration)
Leading the science definition for a student-built Gamma-ray observing CubeSat. We are currently focusing on defining the physical rationale and requirements for a $\gamma$-ray transient observing student-led mission.
Type Ia Supernovae as Cosmological Distance Indicators
Measured cosmological distances using Type Ia Supernovae as standard candles within the cosmic distance ladder, employing infrared photometry from ESO telescopes. Collected SNIa light curves and photometry from multiple surveys (ZTF, ATLAS, SOFI@LaSilla) and applied the SALT2-NIR model for fitting. Developed computational methods in Python for photometric analysis and light curve modeling.
Cepheid Hubble Constant Recomputation
Foundation project using Cepheid variable stars as standard candles for cosmological distance measurements. Analyzed Cepheid photometry from the Konkoly Observatory Extragalactic Cepheid Database using the Leavitt Law to perform distance measurements. Computed a Hubble constant value of approximately $H_0=70.3\pm7.1 \mathrm{\ km s^{-1} Mpc^{-1}$, consistent with contemporary measurements.
