Relastro @ ITP - Goethe University, Frankfurt

The Relativistic Astrophysics (RelAstro) group has been built at the end of 2013 at Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany. The interests of the group cover a large area of topics. In essence, we use Einstein’s theory of general relativity to describe and explain high-energy astronomical observations of black holes and neutron stars.

The group combines analytical perturbative tools with numerical nonlinear simulations in which we solve the Einstein equations together with those of relativistic hydrodynamics or magnetohydrodynamics. We do this in the endless process of comparing theoretical results and predictions with astronomical observations. More information can be found under the research menu and browsing through the pages of the group members.

The group is led by Prof. Dr. Luciano Rezzolla.
