01/01/2009 - 16/05/2012 PhD in Physics (Astrophysics and Space Science Curriculum) “Analysis of small-scale variability of coronal observations with the Hinode/X-Ray Telescope”
The analysis of the time variability of coronal emission is one useful tool to look for evidence of pulsed heating. During my PhD program, I analysed the small-scale variability of an active region, that was observed by XRT/ HINODE when it was close to the disk centre in 2006 Nov 14, in the Al_poly filter band. I compared measured fluctuation intensity distributions with the distribution expected for Poisson noise and found small but important asymmetries. Using Monte Carlo simulations, only part of the asymmetries can be explained by Poisson photon statistics, and we have to include a tendency for exponentially decreasing intensity, such as would be expected from a cooling plasma produced after a nanoflare (Terzo et al., 2011).

28/10/2008 Master Degree in Physics
“Analysis of Active Region's Loops observed with HINODE/XRT” Nine filters on two filters wheels are available on HINODE/XRT. The ratio of the emission measured in different filters is well known to provide an estimate of the temperature of the plasma assumed isothermal along the line of sight. During my Master Degree Thesis, I addressed temperature diagnostics, in an Active region (AR10923) observed in 2006-11-12 in five different filters (Al_poly, C_poly, Be_thin, Be_med, Al_med). I compared the temperature obtained from the filter ratio along selected coronal loops with those obtained from a hydrostatic loop model, concluding that a good description of the observed loops needs different and/or more complex models.
