Research
Extreme Astrophysics
The extreme astrophysics group research interests are diverse, and include:
- accretion onto compact objects (white dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes),
- clusters of galaxies,
- gamma-ray bursts,
- the interstellar medium and intergalactic medium,
- jets from neutron stars and black holes,
- populations within normal galaxies,
- pulsar wind nebulae and supernova
- remnants,
- and tests and explorations of General Relativity.
Our research is conducted using a variety of ground-based and space-based observatories, including Magellan, MDM, ROTSE, the VLA, Chandra, INTEGRAL, RXTE, Suzaku, Swift, XMM-Newton, and soon also GLAST. Opportunities for student research in our group abound, and students can expect to learn from and be supported by the faculty, research scientists, and postdoctoral researchers alike.
