M. Sc. in Astrophysics student, Universidad de Valparaísoo
Research Area: planets around Post Common Envelope Binaries (PCEBs).
email: guillermo.retamales at uv.cl
About my research: I'm a M.Sc. Astrophysics student, working within the Compact Binary Group in the Institute. I'm currently doing my thesis on "Testing the third body explanation for eclipse timing variations in PCEBs" with the aim of explaining the origin of the variations observed in this system. The specific goal of my thesis is to obtain the orbital parameters of possible planetary orbits around the binary star system RR Cae, via statistical methods (specifically MCMC), and determining the stability of the orbit of this possible planet.

About my research: My thesis project focus on the gravitational lens effect at different scales in the Universe. At small scale, I study microlensing light curves to detect exoplanets. At large scale, I search for microlensing effect in lensed quasar systems to study the inner structure of the quasar and also the lensing galaxy. At a larger scale I perform dynamical analysis of lensing galaxy groups.
Ph.D. (c) in Astrophysics, Universidad de Valparaíso, Chile.
Research Area: Massive Stars, Stellar Winds, Hydrodynamics, Radiative Transport
email: ignacio.araya at uv.cl
About my research: My research is focused on massive stars, mainly in their stellar winds. We use both hydrodynamic and radiative transfer codes to model the available observational data of these stars.
Ph.D. (c) in Astrophysics, Universidad de Valparaíso, Chile. (MSc. Astrophysics 2013-2014)
Research Area: Mass-loss rate, Be stars, Stellar Winds.
email: katalina.arcos at uv.cl
About my research: My thesis research project is focused on the study of the variability of Be stars, their mass-loss rate, and the connection with the disk formation. In order to do this, we are creating the BeSOS catalogue, and we are working on reproducing line profile models in agreement with the observations of these stars
