U.S.-Japan Cooperative Research: Physical Processes in Black Holes in the High Redshift Universe

9417248特纳该奖项支持普林斯顿大学Edwin Turner博士和筑波大学Masayuki Umemura教授为期两年的合作研究项目。这项研究将支持对宇宙历史早期影响黑洞形成的关键物理过程的合作理论研究，以及可能进一步阐明这一问题的观测。研究人员将把重点放在流体动力学上，集中研究在高红移的原星系最初坍缩期间直接形成大质量黑洞的可能性。美国和日本的研究人员都在重点领域独立开展了研究项目。特纳博士领导的研究小组将专注于观测，而梅村教授的研究小组将专注于数值模拟。通过结合这些专业知识，两组可以获得比单独任何一组更深入的理解和更快的进展。＊＊＊

9417248 Turner This award supports a two-year cooperative research project between Dr. Edwin Turner of Princeton University and Professor Masayuki Umemura of the University of Tsukuba. This research will support a collaborative theoretical investigation of the critical physical processes that affected black hole formation very early in the history of the universe and of observations that might further illuminate the issue. The researchers will focus on hydrodynamics, concentrating on the possibility that massive black holes can form directly during the initial collapse of protogalaxies at high redshifts. The U.S. and Japanese investigators have all independently carried out research programs in the focus area.. The team led by Dr. Turner will be concerned with observations whereas Professor Umemura s group will concern itself with numerical simulations. By combining these expertises, the two groups can achieve a deeper understanding and more rapid progress than can either group alone. ***
