摘要 (Abstract): 

Evolutions of massive stars, black hole accretion as well as interactions between stars and black holes play an important role in various astrophysical systems, such as supernova, X-ray binaries, AGNs as well as various transient phenomena.  I will discuss some long standing issues related to massive star and black hole systems. Then I will describe some examples on how we can make progress on some of the key theoretical uncertainties based on 3D radiation magneto-hydrodynamic simulations. In particular, I will show how these simulations can be used to understand observations directly. Future directions will also be discussed.

  主讲人简介 (Speaker's CV): 

Jiang Yanfei's research interests are in the field of high energy astrophysics, galaxy evolution and structures, massive stars, radiation (magneto-) hydrodynamics. Jiang got his bachelor from Tsinghua University in physics in 2008 and the PhD from the Princeton University in Astrophysics in 2013. After that, he worked as a postdoc fellow until 2019. In September 2019, Jiang joined Center for Computational Astrophysics of Flatiron Institute as an Associate Research Scientist. He was granted a ITC and Einstein Fellowship in 2013 and was granted a KITP Fellowship in 2016.
