I am working at LAEFF and I am in charge of an outreach project
called PARTNeR (Proyecto Académico con el Radio Telescopio de NASA
en Robledo). This project allows high school and university
students to access a 34m antenna located at NASA's satellite
tracking station to perform radioastronomical observations.
From the scientific point of view, I am working with Erik Kuulkers
(he is my supervisor) to get the Master Thesis. We are studying
RXTE light curves of Cygnus X-2 to find any feature that
characterises the existence of dips (if we consider this object's
inclination, dips should have been observed, but they have not).
