Introduction Astrophysics is a
science that deals with the physics
of the universe, involving astronomical
objects such as stars,
and galaxies,
how they interact with the interstellar
or intergalactic medium. The study of cosmology
is astrophysics at the largest scales. Our
research group focuses on Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in particular.
In such active galaxies, a large amount of energy is produced in the
core--more energy than can be accounted for by the emission of stars
alone. By imaging
the radiation at various
wavelengths, we hope to obtain a better understanding of the structure
and evolution of AGNs.
Who we are
We are a group of
students from the University of Colorado Denver, working under
the supervision of Dr. Alberto Sadun. We usually meet about once a
week,
but of course this varies--sometimes more often or less often,
depending on our schedules.
Where we
are
We most often
meet in the North Classroom Building of
the Auraria Campus on the 3rd floor. There, we have access to a
computer lab.
