Dr. Begelman’s research encompasses a wide range of topics in theoretical astrophysics, with emphasis on high-energy and plasma astrophysics, compact objects, active galaxies, galaxy formation and evolution, and the intergalactic medium. He is particularly interested in the processes by which black holes attract and swallow matter, the various forms of energy released as a result, and their impacts on the black holes’ surroundings. Recent work has focused on the role of strong magnetic fields in |
