Andrea Bernardi

Visiting Student

I’m a visiting student at the IEA, currently working with Alice Zurlo on the detection of exoplanets and exomoons (mainly with the direct imaging technique) and on the orbital characterization of planetary systems.

Projects

My current project is focused on the reduction of SPHERE data, in order to obtain spectra and photometry of substellar companions. I also use tools like orbitize and orvara in order to perform orbital fits for planetary systems, to find more accurate orbital constraints and precise orbital determination.

Extracurricular activities

Playing football, travelling and playing music.
