Research activities

The Space Threshold team has participated in a number of research activities in the field of Astrophysics throughout the years. In paticular we are experts in the management of large amounts of astrophysical data, modelling and bayesian analysis, applied to identification and classification of stellar sources.

We have worked with multispectral information from a number of instruments and satellites, such as the Herschel Space Observatory, Spitzer, or Gaia, for the identification and parametrization of young stellar objects and protoplanetary disks.

Additionally, we have conducted analysis of optical lightcurves from the Palomar Transient Factory programme, with the goal of identifying potential exoplanets orbiting young stars in the 25 Ori region.

These studies have allowed us to collaborate with teams from the most prestigious research institutions, such as the European Space Agency (ESA), the Centro de Astrobiología (CAB), the Joint Center for Ultraviolet Astronomy (JcUVa), the Infrared and Processing Analysis Center (IPAC), Caltech, and NASA.

Our experience with astrophysic research, nonetheless, is not limited to the topics mentioned above. The techniques we have developed over the years for data analysis have been applied in other research fields, such as Earth Observation or ultraviolet astronomy.

In Space Threshold we are deeply interested in a wide range of scientific research, such as planetary sciences, solar system exploration, astronautics and astrobiology.
