Our research
Investigating the most violent events in the universe through multi-wavelength observations and cutting-edge software development.
Computational tools in Astrophysics
We develop advanced computational tools for gamma-ray astronomy, contributing to software for data reconstruction, calibration, analysis, and numerical simulations. Our work includes the development of analysis pipelines, segmentation and classification tools, and efficient calculation software. We specialize in modern computational techniques, including machine learning and high-performance computing, in order to improve event reconstruction, source detection, and the interpretation of high-energy astrophysical observations.
Researchers
Blazars and AGNs
We study blazars and AGNs to understand how supermassive black holes launch relativistic jets and accelerate particles to ultra-high energies. Our research combines multi-wavelength observations, from radio to very-high-energy gamma rays, also including optical and polarimetric studies. We also contribute to long-term monitoring programs, including polarization campaigns, to characterize their variability and study the connection between emission at different wavelengths.
Researchers
IACTs collaborations
We are active members of the LST and MAGIC collaborations, contributing to the technical development and scientific exploitation of the world's leading Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes. Our work spans software development, data reconstruction, and scientific analysis, proposing observations of different very-high-energy gamma-ray sources. Through these collaborations, we help advance both the instrumentation and the scientific capabilities of current and next-generation gamma-ray observatories.
Researchers
Galactic high-energy sources
We investigate a wide variety of Galactic high-energy sources. This include pulsars and pulsar wind nebulae, supernova remnants, microquasars, and young stellar clusters. By combining theoretical models, numerical simulations and multi-wavelength observations, we study how these systems accelerate cosmic rays and produce non-thermal radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum. Our goal is to understand the physical processes governing particle transport, energy losses, and gamma-ray production in our Galaxy.
