Multiwavelength Studies of Galactic Black Holes (Black Hole Universe)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2013,
Black holes are some of the most exotic astronomical objects in the universe, and are accordingly the focus of much speculation and study. By definition invisible, they are only detectable when interacting with their environment, either by bending surrounding light or gravitationally capturing enough matter to power other processes whose radiation we can detect. Depending on the spin of the black ...

Accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar dynamics (AMXP dynamics)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
We intend to study, for the first time, the role that neutron star (NS) interior physics and gravitational wave (GW) torques have in the spin evolution of accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars (AMXPs). Accreting NSs, and AMXPs in particular, are one of the most interesting laboratories to study the physics of compact objects and a potentially interesting source of GWs. There is, however, currently a ...
