X-Ray Emission and Modeling of Cassiopeia A
Convection in Core-Collapse Supernovae
John
is working in a large collaboration on a study of postshock macro-convection
in core collapse supernove.
High Mass X-ray Binaries
Michael Owen
is currently working on including
radiative transfer of x-rays in a 2D hydrodynamic simulation of an HMXB.
SN1987A: Blastwave Meets the Ring
John and
Kazik
are modeling the expected impact of the blastwave from supernova SN1987A
with the compact circumstellar ring observed around the SN by HST.
Astronomical Image Processing:
SNR 3C396 and SNR 3C397
Kristy Dyer is working on SNR 3C396
, while Areg Danagoulian does data reduction on the UV data of
3C397.
Mass Transfer in the Binary Star Algol
John
is continuing work on Algol systems, extending the 2D models to long-period
systems, and creating a 3D model of Algol.
Stability of Radiative Shocks
Russell Strickland and
John
explored the dynamical stability of radiative shocks in 1 and 2D.
Stability of Shock-Bounded Slabs
Brian Marks and
John
explored the Non-linear Thin Shell Instability (NTSI) using VH-1.
