AboutAbout the lab
Exploring high-energy astrophysical phenomena and the formation of stars and planets
Kimura Lab studies high-energy astrophysical phenomena, such as gas flows around black holes and the processes occurring in active galactic nuclei.
The lab also investigates electromagnetic waves and neutrinos from objects that emit gravitational waves, the mechanisms by which particles are accelerated, and the origins of cosmic rays and astrophysical neutrinos.
The formation of stars and planets, in particular the dynamics of protoplanetary disks, is also a subject of its research.
Key terms
- Active galactic nucleus
- A region where gas falls onto the black hole at the center of a galaxy and shines extremely brightly
- Cosmic ray
- A particle with very high energy that travels through space
- Neutrino
- A very light elementary particle that barely interacts with matter. Neutrinos also arrive from various astronomical objects in the universe
- Protoplanetary disk
- A disk of gas and dust orbiting a newborn star. It is the place where planets form
