Astrophysical Black Holes — Some Attractive, Powerful, Illuminating and Exciting Questions

Speaker

Prof. Roger Blandford (Stanford University)

Description

In this introductory talk, I will rehearse some of the astrophysical questions that have been posed by recent observations of massive and stellar black holes, paying special attention to “frontier” science associated with mm VLBI, gravitational radiation, VHE gamma rays and neutrinos, UHE cosmic rays and in the time domain. Future opportunities using new facilities, including JWST, will be previewed.
