Teaching Material

GW astrophysics

These are the slides for a series of lectures I made on 2021 at KU Leuven as part of the course "high energy astrophysics". These are not meant to go deep into GR, but rather get an overview of what is measured by current detectors.

• Part 1: Overview

• Part 2: Ground based interferometers

• Part 3: GWs from compact binaries

• Part 4: Parameter estimation

• Part 5: Astrophysics of observed GW sources

MESA tutorials

I have contributed in different capacity to the summer schools of the MESA software instrument, being a lecturer twice. Owing to changes in MESA these tutorials will not easily work in modern versions of the code, but can be useful as reference material.

• MESA summer school 2017: Official website here. I contributed a tutorial on rotation in binary systems, lab files and presentation available here.

• MESA summer school 2022: Official website here. I contributed a tutorial on rotation in binary systems, lab files and presentation available here.

Ordinary differential equations

After repeatedly being a teaching assistant for the course on ordinary differential equations at my university in Chile, I wrote down a set of notes including a summary of the covered material together with sets of problems with solutions. I know these these were still in use after I left, so in case someone else might find them useful they can be downloaded here. Just one warning, these are in spanish!
