New Tricks for Old Stars: Studying Compact Objects Through Novel Methodologies in Timing, Energy and Imaging

Event Start:

Event Information:

To understand astronomical objects and their environments, it is essential to study their behavior across time, energy and space. For compact objects, these analyses provide a unique window into physics in extreme environments, probing transient behavior, accretion processes, and tests of spacetime and gravity in the high field regime. In this thesis, I present novel approaches to revolutionize timing and spectral analysis and imaging with polarimetry in astronomy.
