Group and Collaborators

We study the gas and dust involved in the formation of stars and their clusters, mainly through the use observational Radio Astronomy techniques. We are also interested in the production of observables from theoretical models and their comparison to observations. Our daily work makes use of large computers to process and analyze large amounts of data.

Durante el resto de 2023 y la primera mitad de 2024 tenemos disponibilidad de incorporar a 1 estudiante de maestría o doctorado y hasta 2 estudiantes de licenciatura

The people currently working in our group are listed below:

  • Roberto Galván-Madrid: currently busy with ALMA-IMF data processing and analysis of HII regions, radiative-transfer modeling of ALMA, VLA, and ngVLA observations of small HII regions and massive Young Stellar Objects.

  • Thomas Nony (DGAPA+CONACyT postdoc): ALMA-IMF pre- and protostellar cores, outflows in observations and simulations, W49 mini-starburst project.

  • Daniel Díaz-González (PhD student, IT staff, co-supervised by Stan Kurtz): combination of interferometric and single-dish observations, initially applied to ALMA-IMF.

  • Jesús Miguel Jáquez-Domínguez (PhD student, co-supervised by Jacopo Fritz): synthetic observations, post-processing radiative transfer of hydrodynamical simulations, molecular clouds.

  • Rudy Rivera-Soto (PhD student): observations of ultra- and hypercompact HII regions, starting to work on the ALMA-IMF data sets and radiative-transfer modelling.

Past members:

  • Mariana Juárez-Gama (Master student from INAOE co-supervised by Eduardo Mendoza): the stellar population of massive star formation regions from radio-continuum observations, W49 mini-starburst project.
