Welcome to The DeepField, my research wiki focused on high-energy astrophysics, active galactic nuclei (AGN), and black holes. This space collects pedagogical notes, derivations, simulation results, and conceptual insights developed throughout my PhD work.
My work centers on understanding how black holes interact with their environments across vastly different scales and physical regimes. This involves two major efforts:
Each topic below links to a structured sub-wiki built from detailed derivations, textbook foundations, and astrophysical applications.
Special Relativity
Lorentz transformations, proper time, four-vectors, spacetime intervals
Electrodynamics
Maxwell’s equations, radiation theory, relativistic field transformations, Liénard–Wiechert potentials
GRMHD & Accretion
Equations of ideal GRMHD, magnetic reconnection, flux tubes, jet launching, disk models
AGN Winds & Line Locking
Radiation pressure, force multipliers, Sobolev theory, SDSS spectral analysis
Sgr A* and M87 Flares
Observational signatures, flare energetics, timing constraints, MAD simulations
Feedback & Outflows
Scaling relations, mechanical feedback efficiency, comparisons to radiative driving
<details> sections for clarity.This wiki evolves alongside my research — both a study companion and long-term knowledge base. Contributions from literature, coursework, and simulation pipelines are integrated and referenced where applicable.
