Radiative transport and the dynamics of diffuse astrophysical sources

Objective



I will use analytic and numerical techniques that I have already developed to pro- duce and propose diagnostics of physical conditions in various astrophysical envi- ronments using E2O and OH maser lines. The environments are a) disks around central black holes in Active Galactic Nuclei, b) outflows of evolved stars, c) super- nova remnants and d) Herbig-Haro objects.
I will also use my expertise in radiative transfer to determine the limits of what can be learned about protostellar infall from existing millimeter wave molecular emission features.
Finally, I will either investigate the effects of magnetic coupling between different layers in an evolved star's outflow on the mass loss rate and wind terminal speed or the response of a spherical clump to the turn-on of an ionizing stellar radiation. A realistic diffuse component of the ionizing radiation will be included and the development of a cometary-like structure will be examined.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
