Research:
My research is on the X-ray spectral properties of binary star systems in our galaxy. Specifically, I am interested in systems which contain a neutron star or black hole and have a low-mass (less than the mass of our Sun) companion. These systems are commonly known as low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs), and there are around 150 currently known in our galaxy. I use the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) for most of my analysis. |
