Jerome Rodriguez

Jerome Rodriguez is a permanent Astrophysicist at the Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique, Service d'Astrophysique, France, since 2004. Before that, he was Postdoctor at the INTEGRAL Science Data Centre in Geneva, Switzerland, and he defended his thesis in 2002 at CEA. The main topic was X-ray spectrotemporal observations of microquasars. His research projects focus more particularly on the X-ray and Gamma-ray emission from accreting compact objects in general, and more specifically X-ray binaries and microquasars. He maintains a website dedicated to all sources discovered by INTEGRAL, the so-called IGR sources. For each source, he reports any new issued source either through an ATel (or IAU circular) or in any accepted paper published in a refereed journal. His main projects concern the microquasars: observations using INTEGRAL and RXTE, in a multiwavelength context, as he is, in particular, leading since 4 years a monitoring campaign on the famous microquasar GRS 1915+105 with those 2 satellites, in coordination with ground-based instruments; timing analysis: studies of quasiperiodic oscillations so far only using RXTE, characterisation of the behavior of QPOs, spectral properties, and so on;(obscured) X-ray binaries: obervations using several X/Gamma-ray satellites, INTEGRAL, RXTE, Swift, XMM-Newton, Chandra; and identification of new X-ray sources: he is leading a campaign with RXTE and Swift to search for X-ray pulsations, and study the X-ray spectrum in new objects found by INTEGRAL.
