Study Reveals a Remarkable Symmetry in Black Hole Jets (Astronomy Magazine)
I am an astrophysicist seeking the answers to fundamental questions about black holes in the universe: how do they swallow up matter? how does part of that infalling matter manages to escape their fatal attraction and power ultra-fast beams (or jets) shooting away from the black hole? how are black holes born?
I work at the interface between theory and observations and I study astronomical observations obtained with several ground and space observatories in a huge range of wavelengths, including radio, infrared, optical, X-ray and gamma-rays.
