The research area in Astronomy that I love is Exoplanets.
Exoplanets are planets orbiting other stars. The ones discovered so far are primarily in the neighborhood of the solar system. We can learn fascinating things from studying their atmospheres together with their orbits and other physical properties, like for example, how they formed or if they have similarities to the Earth.
Below you can find the research topics on which I have worked by now.
Studying the potential differences between these two objects to learn how to classify and identify them is fundamental. Definitions have been considered based on their physical properties, like mass or ability to fuse deuterium, or their chemical composition.
Atmospheric characterization of 24 young, various wide planetary-mass companions and planemos observed with SINFONI at VLT from where we test different formation scenarios. I have deeply studied one of them, known as AB Pic b.
By studied the continuum emission, gas emission lines, and the scattered emission we aim to understand the properties and structure of the disk where planets are supposed to be forming.
I am looking forward to deepening my knowledge of instrumentation in the future. This is not a topic where I am currently active, but it is a topic that motivates me, and I would love to improve my knowledge.

Atmospheric characterization of AB Pic b, a young, planetary-mass companion observed with SINFONI at VLT on the K band. Including literature data, we modeled the atmosphere, and from its characterization, we studied different formation scenarios to understand its evolutionary history. (Publication in prep.)
Research of the protoplanetary disk rxJ1615. We studied the continuum emission, the 12CO and 13CO emission lines, and the scattered emission to understand the properties and structure of the disk. (Publication in prep.)
