Postdoctoral Research Associate in Physics
Exploring active galaxies, relativistic jets, supermassive black holes, and the extreme physics revealed through multiwavelength observations.
Studying the universe at its extremes.
Onic Islam Shuvo is an astrophysics researcher whose work focuses on active galaxies and the relativistic jets associated with supermassive black holes.
His research uses observations across the electromagnetic spectrum to investigate the physical processes operating in some of the most energetic environments in the universe.
His work connects high-resolution radio observations with complementary observations at other wavelengths to better understand jet structure, emission mechanisms, variability, and the relationship between black-hole activity and galactic environments.
Questions written in starlight.
Investigating the physics of active galaxies through observations, imaging, spectral analysis and multiwavelength astrophysics.
Active Galactic Nuclei
Investigating the energetic central regions of galaxies powered by accretion onto supermassive black holes.
↗Relativistic Jets
Studying powerful relativistic outflows and their structure, variability and emission mechanisms.
↗Black Holes & Accretion
Exploring the relationship between supermassive black holes, accretion and energetic galactic activity.
↗Radio Astronomy
Using high-resolution radio observations to investigate compact structures associated with active galaxies.
↗Multiwavelength Astronomy
Combining observations across radio, optical and high-energy wavelengths to constrain astrophysical models.
↗High-Energy Astrophysics
Investigating the extreme radiation and particle processes associated with powerful extragalactic jets.
↗Probing the High-Energy Component
Multiwavelength observations of extragalactic jets provide a way to investigate the origin of their high-energy emission.
One line of investigation considers synchrotron radiation from highly energetic electrons, while another considers inverse-Compton scattering of photons from the cosmic microwave background.
