Stellar Physics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab investigates the activity of black holes and stars through X-ray and optical observations.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the activity of black holes and stars through observation.
The Stellar Physics group studies stellar activity phenomena in a broad sense, mainly based on observations in X-rays, visible light, and infrared.
It also works on observations of accretion flows and jets around compact objects such as black holes, as well as supernovae and exoplanets.
Research topics also include the structure of active galactic nuclei and the co-evolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes.
Key terms
- Accretion flow
- A flow of gas pulled by gravity and falling onto an object such as a black hole.
- Active galactic nucleus
- The central region of a galaxy that shines intensely as gas falls onto the supermassive black hole at its center.
ResearchResearch themes
Based mainly on observations in X-rays, visible light, and infrared, the lab studies compact objects, exoplanets, active galactic nuclei, and more.
