Research Interest:
This image, adapted from my recent paper, shows a Hubble observation of two merging galaxies in Arp 302 and summarises my research interest. The pink glow highlights the X-ray emission from one of the galaxies, the stronger X-ray emitter of the pair. The grey curve represents the XMM-Newton X-ray spectrum of this galaxy, where soft X-ray emission originates from the host galaxy, while the hard X-rays are emitted by the active galactic nucleus (AGN). These X-ray observations offer valuable insights into how galaxy mergers can enhance accretion onto central supermassive black holes, reveal intricate details of black hole accretion physics, and demonstrate how accretion processes impact the surrounding environment on both circumnuclear and galactic scales.
