I am researching on black hole binaries, using spectral analysis as well as timing techniques. Currently, I am working on two systems:
  • The high-mass black hole binary Cyg X-1, where I am analyzing high resolution gratings spectra taken by Chandra, to learn more about the clumpy stellar wind emitted by the companion star of the black hole.
  • The intermediate-mass black hole binary GRS 1758-258, where I analyzed the complete 11 years RXTE monitoring campaign in the spectral and time domain. We are still monitoring this source, and I am currently looking at the data taken by INTEGRAL and Swift during the most recent, peculiar dim soft state in October 2016.
