ASTRE
Relativistic Astrophysics

6 décembre 2024

The ASTRE team combines observation, theory, modeling and simulation to study compact objects (neutron stars, black holes) and gravitational theories (general and alternative relativity).

It models extreme phenomena (jets, gamma-ray bursts, gravitational waves) and exploits data from state-of-the-art instruments (SVOM, HESS, LIGO-Virgo), while contributing to the preparation of future instruments (CTA, LISA). This link between theory, data and simulation provides an in-depth understanding of extreme processes in the Universe.
