Properties of relativistic jets in X-ray binaries
(2021-07-12)
X-ray binaries are stellar systems consisting of a compact object (either a neutron star or a black hole) accreting matter from a companion star. Some of the X-ray binaries form relativistic jets where plasma accelerates ...
Improved techniques for pulsar data analysis
(2021-09-29)
Pulsars are rapidly rotating, strongly magnetised neutron stars with spin periods ranging from few milliseconds to tens of seconds. They emit beams of electromagnetic radiation that are predominantly detected as periodic ...
The Transient Radio Sky: Pulsars and Fast Radio Bursts
(2021-09-17)
This thesis focuses on targeted searches of two radio transients associated with neutron stars (NS): Pulsars and Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), and the study of their properties over different timescales. Pulsars emit beams of ...
Progenitor Stars of Hydrogen- and Helium-Deficient Astrophysical Transients
(2021-01-22)
Massive stars are among the most influential components of the Universe. They house nuclear reactions that transmute hydrogen and helium, the two elements produced with the highest abundance after the Big Bang, into heavier ...
