Numerical astrophysics is a field that uses numerical methods and algorithms to study and model the behavior of astronomical objects and phenomena. It has emerged as a dominant method to bridge the gap between vast amounts of observational data and theoretical models. Applying numerical methods and algorithms allows for more detailed studies and interpretations of observational data, and improvement of theoretical models.
The group “Numerical simulations and big data” is focused on the following topics:
- Formation, evolution, and interactions of galaxies
- Formation, growth, and mergers of central supermassive black holes
- Astrobiology in the broadest philosophical sense
- Habitability of galaxies in a cosmological context and galactic habitable zones
