Below I describe my main activities in astronomy, at a professional level, as well as personal projects, recognitions and participation in notable international events. Some tasks are not current and/or are included as part of my career, for reference purposes. I also provide freelance services in various fields (e.g. astrotourism, astrophotography, e-learning, content creation). If you are interested…
Below I describe details of my astronomical observations, in amateur and professional contexts. The areas to which I personally dedicate the most time are tracking variable stars and detecting exoplanetary transits, although I have also ventured into asteroid astrometry, nova/supernova monitoring, and data mining projects. I also contribute with observation reports for…
Below you will see a list of scientific publications (ISI and others) in which I have been co-author or author, with affiliation to the Astronomy Center of the U. of Antofagasta. Several have arisen as part of my experiences in professional and semi-professional observatories, which are mentioned in the Observations section. (This list is automatically generated from…
