Modelisation of Relativistic Jets

Relativistic jets are powerful, narrow streams of particles and radiation emitted at speeds close to the speed of light, often observed around supermassive black holes in the active nuclei of galaxies.

They provide critical insights into particle acceleration and emission mechanisms, as well as interactions with the surrounding medium. Modeling these relativistic flows is essential to reproducing and understanding the complex physics of jets. This, in turn, deepens our knowledge of extreme astrophysical processes and the evolution of black holes and their host galaxies.
