Dust in the wind — a new paradigm for inflow and outflow structures around supermassive black holes (DUST-IN-THE-WIND)

Start date: May 1, 2016, End date: Apr 30, 2021,

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) represent the active growing phases of supermassive black holes. For the first time, we are able to resolve the dusty gas on parsec scales and directly test our standard picture of these objects. While this “unification scheme” relates the parsec-scale IR emission with a geometrically-thick disk, I have recently found that the bulk of the dust emission comes from the p ...

BETTER UNDERSTANDING the METAPHYSICS of PREGNANCY (BUMP)

Start date: Apr 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2021,

Every single human is the product of a pregnancy: an approximately nine-month period during which a foetus develops within its mother’s body. Yet pregnancy has not been a traditional focus in philosophy. That is remarkable, for two reasons: First, because pregnancy presents fascinating philosophical problems: what, during the pregnancy, is the nature of the relationship between the foetus and the ...
