On May 24, 2023, the four gravitational-wave detectors in the United-States, Italy and Japan entered their science mode, out to catch gravitational waves from explosive…
It is a pleasure to congratulate Prof. Rezzolla once again for his two latest achievements, after his election to the International Society for General Relativity…
The JETSET project warmly congratulates Prof. Rezzolla for his election to the International Society on General Relativity and Gravitation (ISGRG). The ISGRG is an international…
JETSET member Dr. Alejandro Cruz-Osorio was awarded the 2022 Frankfurt Physics Prize. The entire JETSET team is very proud of Alejandro and joins in warmly…
While the total mass of a binary neutron star (BNS) system can be reasonably well constrained based on the gravitational-wave (GW) signal measured by ground-based…
Magnetic reconnection and plasmoid formation in three-dimensional accretion flows around black holes
Magnetic reconnection is a sudden reconfiguration of the magnetic field lines that releases energy in the medium around the magnetic field. Magnetic reconnection is thought…
To extend the computational capabilities available to JETSET’s ambitious research goals, the Relativistic Astrophysics group has acquired a brand new computing cluster. The cluster is…
Imaging a supermassive black hole and extracting physical information requires good knowledge of both the gravitational and the astrophysical conditions near the black hole. When…
M87 has been the target of numerous astronomical observations across the electromagnetic spectrum, and very long baseline interferometry has resolved an edge-brightened jet. However, the…
In this paper, we develop a model to explain the flaring activity in the X-ray afterglows of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) within the framework of slightly…
