We are seeking talented students interested in joining our Undergraduate Research Team (URT) in theoretical astrophysics and general relativity. The research
will focus on forefront problems requiring supercomputer calculations and visualization for
solution. Topics of current interest include formation and collisions of black holes, X-ray
emission from black holes and neutron stars, gravitational wave generation, relativistic
hydrodynamics and radiation transport, coalescence of black hole and neutron star binaries,
and dynamical evolution of relativistic star clusters. Students will work collaboratively
in a team closely supervised by Professors Frederick Lamb and Stuart Shapiro. It is expected
that the research will continue into the following academic year and beyond.
