The following list includes all current projects which are available for a Master thesis in observational analysis. If you are interested, please follow the link, read the projects and contact Prof. Santangelo or the specified co-supervisor.
In addition to bachelor and master projects, we offer student assistant jobs which can contribute to ongoing research projects.
International Master in Astro and Particle Physics (MAPP) [more]
Themes for observational analysis
Investigating neutron stars, black holes and white dwarfs in binary systems which emit strong X-ray radiation (X-ray binaries), and TeV radiation (Gamma ray binaries)
Investigating sources of cosmic rays like Supernova Remnants, through TeV, Gamma, and X-ray observations
Population studies of X-ray sources in the Milky Way and other galaxies
Investigations of the winds of the most massive stars using high mass X-ray binaries
Indirect Search for dark matter from cosmic sources
Themes for experimental developments and simulations
Performing detector simulations for existing X-ray observatories and comparing with observations
Development of existing laboratory set-ups for testing future X-ray detectors
Simulation of X-ray missions performances and studies of instrumental background
Development of read-out and instrument control electronics for earth and space-based detectors in the X-ray, TeV, Gamma, and ultra-high energy range
Mirror and mirror-mechanics development and testing for TeV Gamma-ray telescopes
Development of micropore optics (MPOs) for X-ray instruments
