Extreme Environment Astrophysics

Extreme Environment Astrophysics studies the most intense and unusual conditions in the universe, such as black holes, neutron stars, and supernovae. These objects create extreme gravity, magnetic fields, and radiation that push physical laws to their limits. By examining these environments, scientists learn about matter under extraordinary pressures and energies, revealing fundamental physics and the universe's evolution. This field helps us understand phenomena that can’t be recreated on Earth and offers insights into high-energy processes shaping galaxies and cosmic history.
