  1. 11. Studying jet properties in nearby active galactic nuclei with multi-wavelength, multi-zone modeling
    Ruby Duncan (University of Amsterdam)
    27/01/2026, 16:00
    Presentation

    My work involves developing and applying a physically motivated multi-zone jet model to a variety of low luminosity active galactic nuclei, fitting their radio to X-ray spectral energy distributions to constrain and better understand micro/macro jet physics and particle acceleration, and how it might vary between sources. Building on this, a new analysis pipeline is being developed that...

  2. 12. Lighting up a black hole: phenomenological reconstruction of particle microphysics around a black hole
    RITTICK ROY (UNIVERSITY OF AMSTERDAM)
    27/01/2026, 16:21
    Presentation

    A key open question in astrophysics is how particles are heated and accelerated in accretion flows and how this shapes observed emission. We present a new method for reconstructing the connection between plasma dynamics and particle acceleration in the accretion flow of the LLAGN M87*, using the 2017 Event Horizon Telescope multi-wavelength campaign as a prototype. Our Bayesian framework...

  3. 4. How can M87 flare so brightly at TeV energies?
    Marc Klinger-Plaisier (Anton Pannekoek Institute - University of Amsterdam)

    Presentation

    The super-fast (~day), very-high-energy (VHE; >0.1 TeV) photon flares from the nearby active galactic nucleus M87 provide a unique, exciting opportunity to fast-forward our understanding of particle acceleration in jets. Despite 5 detected VHE flares in the last 20 years and extensive multiwavelength (MWL) campaigns, the process and location of these VHE flares in the jet are still not fully...

  4. 21. Mapping Plasma Flow in Black Hole Jets with Tracers and Adaptive GRMHD
    Subhrat Praharaj (University of Amsterdam)
    27/01/2026, 17:03
    Presentation

    We investigate the composition and dynamics of black hole accretion jets using novel high-res GRMHD simulations. By deploying Lagrangian composition tracers and adaptive mesh refinement (AMR), we achieve two goals: 1) We precisely track how disk material mixes into the jet and how jet plasma entrains into the surrounding sheath, and 2) We maintain high resolution dynamically within the jet and...

  5. 14. Universality of Energy Extraction from Black Holes
    Michael Florian Wondrak
    27/01/2026, 17:24
    Presentation

    I will review several energy extraction mechanisms (classical and quantum) to facilitate discussions on approaching the Blandford-Znajek process in the future.
