Colaboradores

Dr. José María Solanes, UB (España), Astronomía extragaláctica

Dr. Jaime Perea, IAA (España), Astronomía extragaláctica

Dr. Luis Aguilar Chiu, UNAM (México), Dinámica galáctica

Dr. Daniel Carpintero, UNLP (Argentina), Dinámica galáctica

Drs. José María Solanes, Jaime Perea, Luis Aguilar Chiu and Daniel D. Carpintero are three leading international experts in the fields of stellar/galactic dynamics and N-body simulations of gravitationally-bound systems. Dr. Noriega Mendoza keeps a professional collaboration with them, particularly regarding the orbital makeup and structural features of dry galaxy merger remnants and cold-collapsed spheroidal systems via collisionless, high-precision N-body simulations.

Dr. Paul A. Mason, DACC-NMSU (USA), Estrellas variables y binarias cataclísmicas

Dr. Mason is our borderplex specialist and expert in variable stars, particularly in the field of cataclysmic binaries. We recently resumed a collaboration that started back in 2010 when Dr. Mason was a faculty member at the UTEP Physics Department.

Equipo de telescopios ParMagnus, otoño 2019

Omar Corrales

Steven Garza

Emmanuel Márquez

In the fall of 2019, the ParMagnus project counted on three dynamic astronomy students: Omar Corrales, Steven Garza and Emmanuel Márquez (PS, CS and BA majors, respectively). Their support and participation made it possible to host ParMagnus's first Telescope Nights at local high schools in El Paso.

The first AIJ training sessions to reduce and analyze TFOP photometric data collected by the ParMagnus Observatory started in the fall of 2023. This group of three UTEP astronomy students is the founding team that in the spring of 2024 became the ParMagnus Exoplanet Group.
