Mid-infrared observations of black holes-a precise probe of accretion physics

kakenhi奖帮助我对黑洞、星系和恒星进行了重要的新研究。基于我的工作，红外光的精确测量现在可以很容易地用于研究黑洞的内在特性。我还获得了最近的星系中正在活跃恒星形成的垂死恒星的最精确的尘埃图像。我已经能够使用日本的斯巴鲁（Subaru）、赤光（Akari）和朱雀（Suzaku）望远镜，结合世界各地的其他新望远镜，进行几项新的研究。我的工作也在新闻发布会上进行了宣传。

The award of the kakenhi has helped me to make important new research on black holes, galaxies and stars. Based upon my work, accurate measurements of the infrared light can now be used to study the intrinsic black hole properties easily. I have also obtained the most accurate images of dust from dying stars in the nearest galaxy where active star-formation is occurring. I have been able to carry out several new studies using Japan's Subaru, Akari and Suzaku telescopes, in combination with other new telescopes around the world. My work has also been publicized in press releases.
