Project: Z4

Title:          Binary observations with the CTA gamma-ray observatory.

DESY group:     VERITAS / CTA

Type:           Online project

Duration:       19th July - 10th Sep 2021

Description: 

CTA is the next-generation gamma-ray astronomy observatory currently constructed on the
Island of La Palma and in the Atacama Desert in Chile. The summer student will study the 
sensitivity if CTA to high-energy emission from binary systems consistent of a compact 
object (neutron star or black hole) and a massive star. 
The project will imply Monte Carlo simulations and modern data analysis methods taking 
into account sources properties and the characteristics of the CTA observatory. 


Special Qualifications expected:
Knowledge in data analysis and python or C++ programming
