Albert Domingo Garau

LAEFF researcher


My name is Albert Domingo Garau and I am working at LAEFF since
1999.  Before I came to ESAC, I made a master of Science in Physics
at the  Univerity of Barcelona. During my master and using
Hipparcos data,  I developed a new luminosity calibration for late
A-type stars, in  terms of stromgren photometry, which accounts for
temperature,  evolution, metallicity and rotational effects.

In 1999 I started to work in the preparation of the Input Catalogue
for OMC (the optical camera on-board INTEGRAL satellite), in the 
software to analyze the OMC data, and in the development of 
calibration strategies.

Currently I am the OMC Ground Segment Software coordinator, the
responsible of the OMC Calibration and of the Instrument Specific 
Software running at the INTEGRAL Science Data Centre in Switzerlad.

I am also in charge of the OMC data processing to create the
products (mainly light curves) which are made publicly available to
the scientific community through the WEB interface of "The OMC
Archive".

In parallel, I am trying to finish my PhD thesis which will include
all my work to calibrate the OMC instrument, the new analysis
methods  developed, and the main results obtained with OMC data.
