Expanding the Horizon: A Study of Black Hole Accretion

ast - 0205697 -米勒,JonDr。米勒获得了美国国家科学基金会天文学和天体物理学博士后奖学金，在哈佛-史密森天体物理学中心开展研究和教育项目。他将研究大范围黑洞质量和吸积率的黑洞吸积，寻找常见的几何形状和潜在的物理现象。他将在许多波长下研究恒星质量黑洞和活动星系核的内部吸积流，并将寻找与新发现的中等质量和/或极高吸积率的黑洞相对应的射电、光学和紫外线。在教育方面，他将开发一系列关于天文学最新成果的网络视频讲座，这可能作为高中地球科学、物理或天文学课程的补充。＊＊＊

AST-0205697Miller, JonDr. Miller is awarded an NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship to carry out a program of research and education at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. He will study black hole accretion for a wide range of black hole masses and accretion rates, searching for common geometries and underlying physics. He will study inner accretion flows of stellar-mass black holes and active galactic nuclei at many wavelengths, and will search for radio, optical, and UV counterparts to the newly-accessible class of black holes of intermediate mass and/or extremely high accretion rates. In education, he will develop a series of web-based video lectures on new and recent results in astronomy, whch may serve as a supplement to high school courses in earth science, physics, or astronomy. ***
