Overview

J. L. Prieto is affiliated with Diego Portales University in Chile and has focused extensively on research in physics and astronomy. Their work spans multiple subfields including astronomy and astrophysics, instrumentation, nuclear and high energy physics, computational mechanics, and biomedical engineering. The primary concentration, however, lies in astronomical studies.

The research topics Prieto has covered include gamma-ray bursts and supernovae, stellar, planetary, and galactic studies, various astrophysical phenomena and observations, and astronomy and astrophysical research. Additional focus areas include astrophysics and cosmic phenomena, astronomical observations and instrumentation, and galaxy formation, evolution, and phenomena.

Prieto has contributed to a significant number of scientific publications, with active frequent publication in venues such as:

  • Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
  • arXiv (Cornell University)
  • Astronomy and Astrophysics
  • The Astrophysical Journal
  • Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific

Some of the recent papers involving Prieto include:

  • A unicorn in monoceros: the 3 M⊙ dark companion to the bright, nearby red giant V723 Mon is a non-interacting, mass-gap black hole candidate (2021, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society)
  • The ASAS-SN catalogue of variable stars IX: The spectroscopic properties of Galactic variable stars (2021, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society)
  • To TDE or not to TDE: the luminous transient ASASSN-18jd with TDE-like and AGN-like qualities (2020, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society)
  • The ASAS-SN catalogue of variable stars VI: an all-sky sample of δ Scuti stars (2020, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society)
  • The ASAS-SN catalogue of variable stars X: discovery of 116,900 new variable stars using G-band photometry (2022, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society)

Throughout their career, Prieto has collaborated frequently with several researchers, including:
