Job Description
Thesis Subject
Radiative-transfer modelling of stronlgy-lensed supernovae :
The PhD student will focus on radiative-transfer modelling of supernovae. We will compute synthetic spectra and light curves of various supernova types at early times, to compare with the observations of lensed SNe to be discovered by Rubin/LSST. We will use the radiative-transfer code CMFGEN to post-process previously published explosion models, e.g., such as those available for SNe Ia on the HESMA archive. We will also carry out an extensive exploration of the predicted observable properties of existing radiative-transfer simulations computed by our group and available on the Zenodo repository.
Your Work Environment
The PhD project is carried out in the context of a Franco-German ANR project, which aims to exploit the (rest-frame) UV spectra of lensed supernovae discovered by Rubin/LSST. Most of the work will take place in Marseille with the PhD supervisor, but there will be opportunities for research stays (ranging from a few weeks up to one year) at the ESO (European Southern Observatory) site in Garching, near Munich, where the co-supervisor of the thesis, Stéphane Blondin, is based.
