Tanaka Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores transient astronomical objects such as supernovae and neutron star mergers through both observation and theory.
AboutAbout the lab
From transients to cosmic explosions and the origin of heavy elements.
The Tanaka Lab, in the Astronomical Institute at Tohoku University, conducts observational and theoretical research on a wide variety of transient objects in the universe.
Through this research, the lab investigates the physics of high-energy explosive phenomena and the origin of heavy elements.
The listed research keywords include time-domain astronomy, multi-messenger astronomy, supernova explosions, and neutron star mergers.
Key terms
- Time-domain astronomy
- A field of astronomy that studies the universe as it changes over time.
- Supernova explosion
- A massive explosion that a massive star undergoes at the end of its life.
- Neutron star merger
- A phenomenon in which two neutron stars spiral toward each other and merge.
