THE PLAY THAT PUT THE KNICKS UP 3-1.

[Dr. James Beattie @astro_magnetism]

Quite excited about our latest work. We show formerly one can write the compressible (magnetized or not) fluid equations in the form of imaginary time Schrodinger equations, where all the nonlinearities are shoved into the potentials: https://t.co/8bLtj6O4Gw

Sebastiano D. von Fellenberg, a postdoctoral researcher @CITA_ICAT, is part of the Event Horizon Telescope team that has identified the likely starting point of a massive cosmic jet — a powerful stream of particles being blasted out from the heart of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87).

A paper by CITA Fellow Sean Ressler at @UofT published in ApJ Letters presents the first ever simulations of #OJ287. His co-authors are Luciano Combi, CITA National fellow at @Perimeter, @BartRipperda, CITA faculty, and Xinyu Li, @Tsinghua_Uni. https://t.co/SYst19l9DQ

To better understand the extreme physics underlying such a grizzly demise, researchers at @Caltech and @CITA_ICAT's faculty @BartRipperda are using supercomputers to simulate black hole–neutron star collisions.

#UofT's James Beattie is lead author of a new paper in the journal Nature Astronomy describing the computer simulation he & collaborators have developed to study, in unprecedented detail, magnetism & turbulence in the interstellar medium (ISM). https://t.co/CBEN6pj2Y0

[Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics @CITA_ICAT]

New research by Yoonsoo Kim and Elias Most from @Caltech, @BartRipperda from @CITA_ICAT and Andrei Beloborodov from @Columbia explores the conditions under which a black hole’s neutron-star merger produces an observable electromagnetic signal.

[Dr. James Beattie @astro_magnetism]

The cascade of kinetic and magnetic energy from large to small scales in galactic-style turbulence behaves significantly different to the theoretical models that we usually assume work.

🔥 Hot off the press 🔥 @MichaelPGrehan, grad student in @CITA_ICAT��s plasma astro group (@BartRipperda’s group) shows that relativistic reconnection is pretty invariant to the underlying physical model: ideal, resistive, MD, force free, doesn’t matter… https://t.co/jO1PBawbIE

$2M from ORF-RE will advance efforts by @uoftphysics, @UofTAstro and @CITA_ICAT researchers to shed new light on the nature of black holes, a fundamental and mysterious building block of the universe. @BartRipperda
