About my research: My main line of research is massive stars, and particularly the manner in which they lose mass (stellar winds and hydrodynamics). We use different codes for obtaining the synthetic spectra of stars, Hydwind (developed by our group), FASTWIND & CMFGEN for radiative transport. We also do research in Astrostatistics, applying new statistic tools for solving astrophysical problems, for example in the distribution of rotational velocities of stars or the distribution of mass ratios in binary systems. Another area we cover is Astrometeorology, that is, understanding and predicting the atmospheric conditions over international observatories built in Chile. We pay particular attention to precipitable water vapor predictions and seeing.

Sobre mi investigación: Mi investigación se centra en el estudio de variabilidad de las estrellas Be, los parámetros de disco y estelares, su tasa de pérdida de masa y la conexión con la formación del disco. Para hacer esto, creamos el sitio web de BeSOS: https://besos.ifa.uv.cl que contiene espectros HR reducidos de las estrellas del sur de Be observadas con el espectrógrafo PUCHEROS. Restringimos los parámetros estelares de 71 estrellas Be usando atmósferas de modelado estelar. Las velocidades de rotación proyectadas se obtuvieron para todos los espectros, así como EW, DPS, V / R en la línea Halpha.

About my research: My main research interests deal with accretion onto supermassive black holes and the study of the entire central engine of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). I use X-ray data, mainly from XMM-Newton, Chandra and NuSTAR space observatories, as well as optical and IR data taken with telescopes in northern Chile to map the structure of the accretion disc, X_ray corona and the molecular dusty obscurer. I also study accretion behind thick layers of gas, to better understand the spectrum of this important phase of black hole growth and better interpret the cosmic X-ray background
Teaching: Graduate course “Active Galactic Nuclei: the X-ray view”
