Developing and testing new methods for analysing and interpreting the patterns contained in the brightness variations of black holes - bothstellar-mass black holes in our galaxy and super-massive black holes in active galactic nuclei. The project will focus on data from optical and X-ray observatories, and study variations over a range of timescales from subsecond to years or decades. The project will involve challenges in analysing and extracting information from data, which are often noisy and the timing of observations may be quite irregular, often coming from different instruments. The methods developed should have applications in the fields of astrophysics faced with similar challenges.

开发和测试新的方法来分析和解释黑洞的亮度变化模式——包括我们星系中的恒星质量黑洞和活动星系核中的超大质量黑洞。该项目将重点关注光学和x射线天文台的数据，并研究从亚秒到几年或几十年的时间尺度范围内的变化。该项目将涉及从数据中分析和提取信息的挑战，这些数据通常是嘈杂的，观测的时间可能非常不规则，通常来自不同的仪器。所开发的方法应该在面临类似挑战的天体物理学领域得到应用。
