Observational practice
M51 H-alpha Analysis
Continuum-subtracted H-alpha imaging of M51, using calibrated broadband and narrow-band data to isolate emission regions and detect 68 HII-region peaks across the galaxy.
Selected work
Projects
Selected work beyond Starspot, spanning observational imaging, spectroscopy, compact-object timing, stellar evolution, and public astronomical archives.
Optical / infrared
Spectral Reduction Pipeline
A Python reduction workflow that builds master calibration frames, traces and extracts a spectrum, calibrates arc lines, writes calibrated FITS products, and produces a normalized spectrum.
High-energy astrophysics
Compact-Object Timing
Lomb-Scargle timing analysis of high-mass X-ray binaries, recovering dominant periods in systems including Vela X-1, Cen X-3, SMC X-1, 4U 1700-37, and LMC X-4.
Astronomical imaging
Photometry and FWHM
Image-analysis scripts for source detection, FWHM estimation, aperture selection, bias/flat correction, and instrumental photometry on astronomical CCD frames.
Computational astrophysics
Stellar Evolution Tracks
Python analysis of stellar tracks and isochrones in the HR diagram, comparing mass and metallicity effects through reproducible plots and summary tables.
Archives and tools
Virtual Observatory Work
Exploration of public astronomical archives, FITS imaging, and Virtual Observatory workflows for galaxy datasets, multi-band inspection, and scientific image context.
