Here are some research I’ve done from most to least recent :)

Empiric constraints to the Seed models for Supermassive Black Holes

Advisor: Paulina Lira

December 2020 – Now

  • We thoroughly study a sample of viable IMBH candidates from the SIBLING survey, by assuring their fast variability on the g-band, utilizing the LSST Science Pipeline software.
  • The robust sample of IMBHs will be used to constrain the occupation fraction of estimated BH mass as a function of the stellar mass of their galaxy host

Testing the Efficacy of Searching Intermediate-Mass Black Holes through Optical Variability

Advisor: Paulina Lira

April 2020 - December 2020

  • We search for spectral Active galactic Nuclei signatures in a sample of active Intermediate- Mass Black Holes (IMBHs) candidates selected by fast optical variability, which compose the SIBLING survey (Martinez-Palomera et al. 2020). These signatures are the broad components in the Balmer emission lines.
  • The aims are to test the occurancy of AGN spectral signatures on the SIBLING survey in comparison to a sample that does not present fast variability

Search for Intermediate-Mass Black Holes in Nearby Galaxies using Spectral Analysis

Advisor: Paulina Lira

September 2019 – January 2020

  • The aims were to find Intermediate-Mass Black Holes by fitting the Broad Components to Halpha emission lne.
  • The data used were galaxies that showed fast Variability in the Optical from the High Cadence Transient Survey (HiTS) (Forster et al., 2016)

Classification of Galaxies above the Main Sequence using their Spectral Energy Distribution properties

Advisor: Valentino González

March 2019 – July 2019

  • The aim was to characterize the Spectral Energy Distribution modeling of the clumps, formed in the Main Sequence, to later predict them.
  • For clustering analysis, Gaussian Mixture Method was utilized; while for characterization it was used Principal Component Analysis.

Analysis of the formation of Massive Globular Cluster ≤safter a Galaxy Merge

Advisor: Andrés Escala and Juan Molina

January 2019 – February 2019

  • The aims were to evaluate and characterize the stability of the Galaxy Merge to predict which regions would eventually form a Massive Globular Cluster.
  • The data used for this research were Snapshots from the GADGET-2 sph simulator.
