Simulaciones electromagnéticas de radiotelescopios
Los experimentos cosmológicos para la medición de la radiación del fondo cómico de microondas (CMB) requieren un control exquisito de los efectos sistemáticos producidos por la respuesta electromagnética de los radiotelescopios. Nuestro grupo colabora directamente con los principales experimentos en la materia, que observan el fondo cósmico desde Chile, contribuyendo con la caracterización y control de los efectos sistemáticos presentes en la óptica. En este IPRE el alumno desarrollará simulaciones computacionales para estudiar estos efectos, modelando la respuesta óptica de los telescopios incluyendo sus imperfecciones y con ello aportando de manera significativa a los estudios cosmológicos que ellos realizan.

Electromagnetic simulations of radiotelescopes
The cosmological experiments to measure the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation require and exquisite control of the systematic effects introduced by the electromagnetic response of the telescopes. Our research group directly collaborates with several of the main CMB experiments installed in Chile, contributing with the characterization and control of their optical systematic effects. In this IPRE, the student will develop electromagnetic simulations of the optical response of these telescopes, studying their systematic effects and imperfections, significantly contributing the the scientific studies performed by these experiments.

Photogrammetric application for high precision positioning of drones
The experiments to measure the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation requiere high precision polarized calibrators. For this, our group is developing a drone based calibrator able to provide a polarized reference signal on the sky, requiring a high precision metrology system able to provide an extremely accurate position and aim of the drone while flying. Our system is based on photogrammetry (patent pending) and can monitor the polarization angle of the source with better than 0.1 degrees of absolute accuracy. In this IPRE the student will contribute to develop this metrology system, performing field tests with the drone, running experimental data analysis, developing of specialized photogrammetry software, and, if possible, can even participate in real site tests at the astronomical sites of northern Chile.
