CAMAP Legacy

• This project is aimed at obtaining a deeper insight into the physical processes taking place in astrophysical objects hosting plasma that can be modeled as a fluid, among them, I outline GRBs, AGN jets and compact objects.
• Understand the role of the magnetic field in the dynamics of these sources.
• When/Where non-ideal effects are relevant?
• We may try to bridge the gap between stellar core-collapse and the production of relativistic outflows and obtain a self-consistent picture from collapse to the observational signature (full Einstein, microphysics, transport, emission).
  • What is the jet composition?
  • How do the outflows collimate/accelerate in a dynamically evolving space-time?
• Characterization of the mechanism to build dynamically important B-fields from tiny seed values, and of the preferred field topology.
• Gravitational waveforms (stellar core-collapse, outflows). Needed to extract signals from the "detectable noise" in ground-based and space-based detectors.
• We will develop a number of numerical tools to deal with astrophysical sources where the physics can be is dominated by (non-ideal) (relativistic) (magneto-) HD.
