Presidential Young Investigator Award: Numerical Relativity; Compact Objects

将启动一项理论天体物理和引力物理的研究计划。这项研究将使用解析和数值方法进行。在某些情况下，将进行观测以比较理论预测与实际感兴趣的天文系统的行为。将研究的课题包括：a)在恒星坍塌和碰撞中产生引力辐射；b)大质量黑洞对恒星的潮汐破坏；c)磁化的恒星风。D)食毫秒脉冲星(PSR 1957 20)。

A research program in theoretical astrophysics and gravitational physics will be initiated. This research will be pursued using both analytic and numerical methods. In some cases, observations will be made to compare theoretical predictions with the behavior of real astronomical systems of interest. The topics to be investigated include: a) generation of gravitational radiation in stellar collapsed and collision b) tidal disruption of stars by massive black holes c) magnetized stellar winds d) the eclipsing millisecond pulsar (PSR 1957 + 20).
