The Dream Team
-

Florence Riverin
BSc student at Bishop’s
Florence is using IFU spectra to provide corroborating evidence for a binary supermassive black hole in a galaxy based on stellar kinematics.
-

Alys-Ann Surprenant-Coache
BSc student at Bishop’s
Alys-Ann is investigating the star formation histories of binary MBH host galaxies using cosmological simulations.
-

Weixiang Yu
Canadian Rubin Postdoctoral Fellow at Bishop’s
Weixiang is developing software to model Rubin-LSST light curves of AGN, for a diverse variety of science applications.
-

Hannah Dykaar
Postdoctoral Researcher at McGill (co-supervised)
Hannah is performing time-dependent photoionization modeling of infrared coronal emission lines from tidal disruption events.
-

Sara Babic
MSc student at Bishop’s
Sara is undertaking a search for supermassive black hole binaries through quasi-periodicities in Rubin-LSST light curves.
-

David Koranteng
MSc student at Bishop’s
David is quantifying the background of transient sources that will contaminate follow-up observations of gravitational wave events.
