Laboratory Neutron Star Analogues – Using Terrestrial Low-temperature Condensates to Understand Cosmic Superfluidity
Formed in the supernova explosions of massive stars, neutron stars are compact remnants that exhibit extreme gravity, ultra-high densities, fast rotation, and strong magnetic fields. Read more
Uncovering the Nature of Hidden Neutron Star Interiors with Computational Fluid Dynamics
Formed in the supernova explosions of massive stars, neutron stars are compact remnants that exhibit extreme gravity, ultra-high densities, fast rotation, and strong magnetic fields. Read more
Gamma-ray bursts and the interstellar medium
Three Key Points. GRBs are the most energetic events in the Universe and are being detected in every increasing numbers. They provide an interesting new way to probe the interstellar material in galaxies. Read more
Gravitational Waves from Neutron Star Binaries
Gravitational waves from colliding neutron stars provide a unique opportunity for probing the properties of ultra-dense matter and fundamental interactions in extreme regimes. Read more
Physics and astrophysics of black hole collisions
Position. Coalescences of two black holes are the most powerful cosmic events happening throughout the Universe. Their dynamics sources the strongest gravitational fields experimentally accessible, and gives rise to violent space-time deformations known as gravitational waves. Read more
Source Modelling and Compact Binaries
Compact binaries, consisting of pairs of black holes or neutron stars, are extremely powerful sources of gravitational radiation. Read more
