INTEGRAL/SPI catalog:

Building a catalog of sources from the 22 years of INTEGRAL observations with the SPI instrument in the soft gamma-rays. The goal of this project is to make the trove of data from SPI accessible to the astronomical community with an updated online catalog and simpler analysis tools.

Microquasars spectro-polarization:

Understanding the accretion-ejection process in Black Hole X-ray binaries which behave as ‘Microquasars’. Using the novel methods of spectro-polarization analysis, it is possible to constrain the emission processes at high-energy, as well as the geometry of the source and the configuration of the magnetic fields. In turn, this information allows us to understand how matter is accelerated in those extreme environments. The INTEGRAL/IBIS ‘Compton mode’ is particularly useful for this task, as it allows precise polarization measurements in the soft gamma-rays.
