Supernova Remnants at Shell Formation
Eric
has finished a one dimensional simulation
of the Sedov-Taylor shock with radiative cooling, and is preparing to do two
dimensional simulations. Also in the works is an analysis of the data obtained
from the one dimensional simulation.
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 is 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
Kristy Dyer is working on SNR 3C396
Data reduction of radiodata from SNR 3C397.
Areg spent his summer working on 3C397. As a result maps of radio intensity and polarization were received.
