About My Research
I'm an observer interested in the physics of clusters and group of galaxies as inferred mainly by X-ray observations but also from observations at other wavelengths like optical and radio. I work in particular on AGN feedback in cool cores, metal abundances in the intra-cluster and intra-group medium and the characterization of the dynamical state of a system.
Galaxy clusters are also important cosmological tools, provided we are able to measure their masses. This measure can be done in many different ways like for example using their X-ray emission, gravitational lensing or the dynamics of their member galaxies.
Latest Projects
A selection of the latest projects I'm currently working on:
- Analysis of the data of the CHEX-MATE project
- Analysis of the X-ray data of the XMM mosaic of NGC 5044
Latest News
- CHEX-MATE paper on the pressure profiles of 6 objects with PLANCK and SPT submitted to A&A (see here)
- Paper on a sample of groups observed with Suzaku out to R200 accepted for publication on MNRAS (see here)
- 3 MeerKAT programs approved as co-I: 2 with PI M. Balboni to observe the CHEX-MATE cluster A2244 (12 hrs, B) and a sample of 6 CHEX-MATE clusters (39 hrs, A) and one to observe A754 (PI Botteon, 20 hrs, A)
- 2 Chandra programs as co-I awarded in AO24: one to observe the Nest Group (150 ks, PI Simionescu), one to observe a candidate equatorial shock merging cluster MCXC J0928.6+3747 (126 ks, PI Hoang)
