This project targets relativistic jets powered by supermassive black holes - the most powerful systems in the Universe. Theoretically, the enormous energies released have a profound influence on how galaxies evolve; empirically, observations reveal signatures of their impact across cosmic time. However, fundamental questions remain about how these jets are triggered and what impact they have on galaxies. The project will address these questions using novel supercomputer models of black hole jets in realistic cosmological environments, then confront these predictions with new data from Square Kilometre Array (SKA) pathfinding radio telescopes. This will substantially enhance Australia’s leadership capacity in a strategically important area.

该项目的目标是由超大质量黑洞提供动力的相对论性喷流-宇宙中最强大的系统。从理论上讲，释放的巨大能量对星系的演化有着深远的影响;从经验上讲，观测揭示了它们在宇宙时间内的影响。然而，关于这些喷流是如何被触发的以及它们对星系有什么影响的基本问题仍然存在。该项目将在现实的宇宙学环境中使用新的黑洞喷流超级计算机模型来解决这些问题，然后用平方公里阵列（SKA）寻路射电望远镜的新数据来应对这些预测。这将大大加强澳大利亚在一个重要战略领域的领导能力。
