Peering into black holes
During her first term as Canada Research Chair in Observational Astrophysics of Black Holes, Dr. Julie Hlaavacek-Larrondo developed a highly successful research program that resulted in more than 40 publications in leading journals. During her second term, she and her team will take these initial results to the next level by building a model that describes in detail how black hole feedback operates in massive galaxies.
This model will serve as a fundamental input for cosmological simulations, affecting many fields in astronomy, from black hole physics to galaxy physics and cosmology.
