"Relativistic hot accretion flow around black holes"

Santabrata Das (Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, Assam, India)

We develop a model formalism to study the structure of a relativistic, viscous, optically thin, advective accretion flow around a rotating black hole in presence of radiative coolings. While doing this, we adopt a recently developed effective potential to mimic the spacetime geometry around the rotating black holes. We solve the governing equations to obtain the shock-induced global accretion solutions in terms of flow parameters. Using shock properties, we compute the quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) frequency ($\nu_{\rm QPO}$) of the post-shock matter (equivalently post-shock corona) pragmatically, when the shock front exhibits quasi-periodic variations. We also calculate the luminosity of the entire disc for these shock solutions. Employing our results, we find that the present formalism is potentially promising to account the observed $\nu_{\rm QPO}$ and bolometric luminosity of a ULX sources.

"Deep Learning Application for Large-Scale Structure Observations"

Kana Moriwaki (Research Center for the Early Universe at the University of Tokyo)

Dr. Moriwaki's research focuses on galaxy formation and evolution, high-redshift galaxies, cosmic reionization, and the application of machine learning to cosmological simulations. She has published extensively in these fields and received multiple prestigious awards, including the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Award in 2024. Her expertise in utilizing deep learning techniques to understand the universe’s large-scale structures promises to offer valuable insights to our ongoing work.
