Astronomy Colloquium
"Simulations of Black hole Accretion and Outflows"
Date: Thursday, November 9th
Time: 3:30 pm
Place: 4421 Stering Hall, Coffee and cookies 3:30 pm, Talk begins at 3:45 pm
Speaker: Alexander Tchekhocvskoy, Northwestern University
Abstract:
Black holes are responsible for a wide variety of astrophysical phenomena. They devour stars, eject relativistic jets, affect star formation and galaxy evolution, and enrich the Universe with heavy elements. I will discuss how global general relativistic magnetized fluid dynamics numerical simulations allow us to use this activity to quantitatively probe strong-field gravity and constrain black hole physics in various astrophysical context
