2022/07/28 - Release of the XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalogues 4XMM-DR12s und 4XMM-DR12 (-> Announcement)
Projects and research interests
XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre (SSC):
- development and maintenance of the source-detection software tasks
- development of stacked source detection
- development and compilation of the source catalogue from overlapping observations
XMM2ATHENA consortium:
- WP4 co-lead "Enhanced stacked catalogue"
based on a re-engineered source-detection strategy, optimised for higher sensitivity to very faint X-ray sources - contributions to sensitivity estimator, variability assessment, source classification, science validation, and other Work Packages

Late stages of stellar evolution:
- data analysis and spectral modeling
- X-ray and multi-wavelength diagnostics of magnetic cataclysmic variables
- compact objects, white dwarfs in binaries and planetary nebulae
