CAPIBARA-GAMMA
A student-led initiative observing gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and advancing transient astrophysics for the multi-messenger era.
CAPIBARA-GAMMA brings together students, researchers, and mentors to design, simulate, and analyze high-energy astrophysics missions. We are currently preparing a -ray transient observing CubeSat concept in partnership with aerospace engineering teams.

🛠️ How We Work
Modern physics and astronomy rely heavily on collaborative, open computational tools. Every member works within our standardized research stack:
| Task | Tool | Role & Workflow |
|---|---|---|
| Communication | GitHub Discussions | Central hub for status updates, technical questions, and task tracking. |
| Documentation | Website | Onboarding guides, meeting notes, and archived research logs. |
| Data & Code | Python | Data analysis, light-curve simulations, and plotting (gamma-<research-title> repos). |
| Publications | Drafting formal pre-prints, conference proceedings, and proposal papers. |
Research Guidelines & Tools
- Literature: We use ArXiV as our primary open-access paper repository.
- Open Source: All research code is maintained in public or private repositories under the
capibara3GitHub organization.
