우리 연구실에서는 우주에서 발생하는 고에너지 현상을 연구한다. 고에너지 현상은 밀집성 또는 그 주변에서 많이 발생하는데, 따라서 연구 대상은 중성자별과 거대질량 블랙홀이다. 주로 활용하는 실험기기는 X선 및 감마선 우주 망원경인 NuSTAR, Chandra, XMM-Newton, Swift, 그리고 Fermi Large Telescope Array(LAT)이며 필요에 따라서 전파, 적외선, 그리고 가시광성 망원경을 활용하기도 한다. 이 망원경들을 이용하여 밀집 천체를 관측, 데이터를 분석하고, 그 결과를 복사 모형을 이용하여 해석하고 이를 통하여 중성자별 및 거대질량 블랙홀의 특성 및 그 주위에서 발생하는 입자의 가속현상을 이해한다.
We study high-energy phenomena in the Universe. Because high-energy radiation is often observed in astrophysical compact objects (neutron stars and black holes) implying existence of very energetic particles, compact objects are main targets for our research. We observe the targets using high-energy telescopes such as NuSTAR, Chandra, XMM-Newton, Swift, and Fermi LAT. When needed, we also use radio, IR and optical telescopes. The observational data are analyzed and interpreted with emission models. The modeling then tells us about the compact objects and particle acceleration in those objects.
