High-Energy Astrophysics at UBC
Our group’s research interests range over the following areas:
Demet successful defended her thesis on New tricks for old stars : studying compact objects through novel methodologies in timing, energy and imaging. She’s now off to work with the NuSTAR team at Caltech as a postdoctoral fellow. Congratulations Demet!
As reported in Astronomy and Astrophysics (), analysis of IXPE observations and a comparison with visual measurements shows that the polarization of the X-ray emission from the Crab Pulsars traces the same path as the polarization in the visual as the star rotates. However, interestingly the X-ray polarization lags in its trip relative to the …
Leesa successfully defended her thesis on White dwarfs as probes of novel physical phenomena. She will be continuing her research at UBC. Congratulations Leesa!
How is our understanding of astrophysical phenomena connected with our understanding of fundamental physics?
