Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA)

The Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA) is a research center based in Toronto dedicated to studying the fundamental principles of the universe. It brings together scientists to explore areas like the origins of stars and galaxies, black holes, and the nature of dark matter and dark energy. CITA supports theoretical work through collaborations, seminars, and training programs, aiming to deepen our understanding of cosmic phenomena. Its work often combines mathematics, physics, and computer simulations to develop models that explain how the universe and its components behave at the most basic level.
