A division at the Center for Computational Sciences that studies theoretical astrophysics.
AboutAbout the lab
Studying theoretical astrophysics at a computational science center.
The Astrophysics Division is one of the research divisions at the Center for Computational Sciences, University of Tsukuba.
According to the profile page of Prof. Ohsuga, the division head, his research topics are theoretical astrophysics, black hole accretion disks and jets, and the formation theory of supermassive black holes.
The research keywords also include radiation magnetohydrodynamics simulations and astrophysical jets.
In addition to Prof. Ohsuga, the division includes faculty members at the ranks of Professor, Associate Professor, and Assistant Professor.
Key terms
- Accretion disk
- A disk of gas that orbits a black hole or similar object while spiraling inward toward the center
- Astrophysical jet
- A fast, narrowly collimated stream of gas ejected from a black hole or similar object
- Radiation magnetohydrodynamics simulation
- A method of using computers to calculate and study the motion of gas affected by light (radiation) and magnetic fields
ResearchResearch themes
Prof. Ohsuga, the head of the Astrophysics Division, studies theoretical astrophysics, black hole accretion disks and jets, and the formation theory of supermassive black holes. The professor's publication list also includes an article in Tenmon Geppo (Astronomical Herald) titled "Tackling accretion flows and outflows around compact objects with simulations and teamwork" (in Japanese).
