Extreme Astrophysics
FY 2023-24
Summary
The long-term goal of Safi-Harb¿s program is to answer fundamental questions about the behaviour
of matter in extreme environments unattainable on Earth, and the origin of the heavy elements and
of high-energy cosmic rays driving the chemical and dynamical evolution of galaxies. The
proposed CRC program will address these questions through high-resolution imaging,
spectroscopic and multi-messenger observations and modelling of high-energy astrophysical
phenomena associated with stellar explosions. This program drives innovation in technology and
provides unique opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations and training personnel to tackle
the large datasets that industry and government use today.
