Carlos Alexandre Wuensche holds a degree in Physics from the State University of Rio de Janeiro, a master's degree in Astrogeophysics from the National Institute for Space Research and a PhD in Cosmology from the National Institute for Space Research, with a internship at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is a senior researcher at the National Institute for Space Research. He has experience in Astronomy, with an emphasis on Cosmology, working mainly on the following topics: Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMB), Cosmology, Galactic Microwave Emission, and Instrumentation in Radio Astronomy. He has participated in several international projects related to the study of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation since 1991. He is also interested in the area of #8203;#8203;Astrobiology, with a focus on habitability and astrochemistry. He was Head of the Astrophysics Division - DIAST (2002 - 2004, 2021 - 2023), Coordinator of the Postgraduate Course in Astrophysics (2009-2012), Chief of Staff of the INPE Directorate (2012 - 2016) and full member of the Technical-Scientific Council (CTC) of INPE (2018 - 2020), among other administrative functions. He is the current head of the DIAST Cosmology research line, and principal investigator of the BINGO project (BAO from Integrated Neutral Gas Observations), in partnership with USP, Univ. Federal de Campina Grande, YangZhou University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (China). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Abstract - version 1. (AU)
BINGO is a unique radio telescope designed to make the first detection of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) at radio frequencies. This will be achieved by measuring the distribution of neutral hydrogen gas at cosmological distances using a technique called Intensity Mapping. Along with the Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies, the scale of BAO is one of the most powerful probes of co…

Radio telescopes dedicated to measuring the HI neutral hydrogen distribution of the Universe through the 1420 MHz hyperfine transition are a great tool to measure Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) efficiently. However, contaminants of galactic and extragalactic origin are orders of magnitude larger than the cosmological HI signal, and even if the removal process is successful, residues m…
This project contemplates the development of the necessary tools to carry out cross correlations between simulated BINGO data and optical survey catalogs. Particularly in this work, the 6dF Galaxy Redshift Survey catalog will be included. At the end of the master's degree, the student must master the necessary tools to perform the correlations, know the physical processes that can be expl…

This project addresses two different science paths of interest and with a good potential of contribution for the BINGO telescope (under construction in Brazil), LSPE (under construction in Italy) and QUBIC (beginning to operate in Argentina). The first is the development of software tools that are essential for a good science case either in CMB and 21 cm cosmology: map making and componen…
Mapping the distribution of neutral hydrogen in the Universe through the intensity mapping technique has emerged as a promising tool to access baryon acoustic oscillations and place strong constraints on the nature of dark matter and dark energy. This technique competes with state-of-the-art optical galaxy surveys, with several instruments being constructed and operated with this aim. One…
