CAREER: Theoretical Studies of Compact Objects in Binary Systems

职业生涯：理论研究中的紧凑的双晶体结构stratast 0449558 Vassiliki KalogeraDr.西北大学的Vassiliki Kalogera将进行一项与二元系统中致密物体的形成和演化有关的理论研究计划。 主要目标是：揭示X射线双星与黑洞的演化历史;发展各种银河系环境中X射线双星种群的模型;进行关于三星系统演化的理论工作。 研究成果将用于多个系统的光学观测和引力波天文学等多个研究领域。PI还将开展一项教育计划，将研究与基于计算机的教学/学习框架的开发相结合。 这些努力包括本科教育计划，旨在提高批判性思维和解决问题的能力，并通过阿德勒天文馆进行公众宣传。评估这些方案的有效性将是方案的一个组成部分。

CAREER: THEORETICAL STUDIES OF COMPACT OBJECTS IN BINARY SYSTEMSABSTRACTAST 0449558 Vassiliki KalogeraDr. Vassiliki Kalogera at Northwestern University will undertake a theoretical program of research relating to the formation and evolution of compact objects in binary systems. The primary goals are to: uncover the evolutionary history of X-ray binaries with black holes; develop models of X-ray binary populations in a wide range of galactic environments; undertake theoretical work on the evolution of triple-star systems. The research results will be of use in a variety of research areas, including optical observations of multiple systems and gravitational-wave astronomy.The PI will also undertake an educational program that integrates research with the development of computer-based teaching/learning frameworks. These efforts include undergraduate education programs, intended to advance critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and public outreach through the Adler Planetarium. Evaluation of the effectiveness of these programs will be an integral part of the program.
