Dr Hendrik Van Eerten

Hendrik’s astrophysics research focusses on relativistic jets of gas generated by massive black holes and stellar explosions. As part of this work, he uses large-scale computer simulations of fluid dynamics to model the evolution of jets and to compute synthetic observations of how the emission from such jets would appear to distant observers. These are then combined with multi-wavelength data from a range of telescopes and satellites observing cosmic explosions, using statistics to probe the parameter space of jet dynamics and emission parameters in order to constrain the physics behind the jets.
