We investigate the most extreme objects and fundamental processes in the cosmos: from accreting supermassive black holes and relativistic jets to galaxies, cosmology and the high-energy Universe.
Accretion, jets, X-ray spectroscopy and relativistic phenomena.
Active Galactic Nuclei provide excellent laboratories for studying how supermassive black holes accrete matter and release energy. By measuring relativistic effects near the black hole, we can investigate the accretion process, understand how powerful jets are launched, and measure the spin of the black hole.
X-ray and gamma-ray observations of the Universe.
X-ray and gamma-ray observations allow us to study some of the most energetic phenomena in the Universe. Space missions such as Fermi, Swift, INTEGRAL, NuSTAR, Chandra, and XMM-Newton observe these extreme environments across different energy ranges, providing complementary information about how particles are accelerated and how powerful sources produce high-energy radiation. Together, these observations help us address fundamental questions in particle physics and multimessenger astrophysics.
Evolution of Supermassive Black Holes
The evolution of supermassive black holes is a major research topic in modern astrophysics. By modeling their emission across different cosmic epochs (or redshift), from the nearby Universe to the distant Universe, we can infer their properties and investigate how they accrete matter and grow over cosmic time.
