A theory lab that explores phenomena involving black holes and neutron stars.
AboutAbout the lab
Thinking through the universe's mysterious phenomena with theory
The Kashiyama Lab studies mysterious phenomena that occur in the universe from the standpoint of theoretical astrophysics.
Drawn to phenomena involving compact objects such as black holes and neutron stars, the lab is especially interested in time-variable and transient objects.
It does not restrict itself to a particular wavelength of observed light or type of particle, and combines them as much as possible in its thinking.
The lab sometimes writes papers and observing proposals together with researchers who specialize in observation.
Key terms
- compact object
- An object such as a black hole or neutron star that is extremely small and dense for its mass.
- neutron star
- An extremely dense object left behind after a massive star explodes at the end of its life.
- transient
- An object whose state changes greatly, such as suddenly brightening over a short time.
ResearchResearch themes
This lab studies phenomena involving compact objects such as black holes and neutron stars, mainly through pencil-and-paper theory. Writing papers together with observational researchers, it works on showing what can be learned from which observations.
