Collaborative Research: A New Model of AGN Accretion Disks Dominated by Strong Magnetic Fi — NSF Award to Princeton University (NJ
Black holes swallowing gas produce the brightest, most powerful sources of radiation in the Universe. That energy can dramatically change everything around the black hole, fundamentally reshaping how stars and galaxies form. This project will develop a new generation of models for gas inflow into black holes, with stro

| Abstract | Black holes swallowing gas produce the brightest, most powerful sources of radiation in the Universe. That energy can dramatically change everything around the black hole, fundamentally reshaping how stars and galaxies form. This project will develop a new generation of models for gas inflow into black holes, with strong magnetic fields that can completely change how these systems behave. Black holes are one of the topics in modern science that most excites the public and stimulates a younger ge |
