Constraining the physics of relativistic jets with radio through (sub-)millimetre properties of X-ray binaries
DownloadFall 2018
Astrophysical jets are ubiquitous phenomena in our universe, linked to a wide range of objects, from young stars to black holes. These powerful, highly collimated outflows deposit significant amounts of energy and matter into the surrounding medium, affecting star formation, galaxy evolution, and...

Constraining the Physics of the X-ray Irradiated Accretion Discs in Low-mass X-ray Binaries with Observations
DownloadFall 2018
Recurring outbursts associated with matter flowing onto compact stellar remnants (black holes and neutron stars) in low-mass X-ray binary systems provide constraints on the poorly understood accretion process. Multi-wavelength light-curves and spectra of these bright outbursts provide powerful...

Fall 2023
We examine the long-term evolution of accretion tori around the remnants of compact object mergers and the explosions of highly magnetized massive stars to better understand their roles in the creation of optical transients and the synthesis of r-process elements. We begin by modifying the...
