Andrea Antoni

Postdoc

Andrea is a Flatiron Research Fellow at CCA. Her work explores the transients arising from red and yellow supergiants near the ends of their lives.  As a computational theorist, she uses magneto- and radiation-hydrodynamic simulations to determine the observational signatures of mass-loss events, explosions, and implosions of these hydrogen-rich progenitors in an effort to understand the underlying populations of stellar-mass black holes and the circumstellar environments in which the stars die. Prior to joining CCA, Andrea earned her Ph.D. in Astrophysics at UC Berkeley.
