LAEFF Researcher

My name is Elena Jimenez Bailon. My research activity focuses on
the study of the imprints of the circumnuclear matter of AGN in
the X-ray spectrum.  I started my research career at
LAEFF-INTA.   During my doctorate I worked on the high energy
(X-rays and UV) contribution of the star-forming processes in low
luminosity AGN.  During the May-2003 to May-2005 period I took
part if the XMM-Newton SOC at ESAC as a Research Fellow.   The
work was directed by Dr. Matteo Guainazzi and was mainly centered
the analysis of public XMM-Newton observations of the complete
sample of PG quasars.  Afterwards, I spent a period of 6 months in
Mexico, in the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico and the
INAOE, covering two areas: the effects of warm absorbing material
close to the AGN and the X-ray emission of  starbursts in 
normal galaxies and AGN.  I enjoyed the Spanish Postdoctoral
Grant in the period from October 2005 to January 2007.  The
work, advised by Dr. Giorgio Matt, was held in Roma Tre
University and was focused on the study of the X-ray emission of 
several AGN. Since January 2007, I am working at LAEFF-INTA with
a "Juan de la Cierva" Spanish scientific contract in the
INTEGRAL team and directed by Dr. Miguel Mas-Hesse. My main task 
is to do the XMM-Newton follow up of the sample of AGN discovered 
by INTEGRAL.
