| LINDSAY SCHOLARSHIP: RADIO AND OPTICAL TRANSIENTS | Closing date: 2024-05-24
Contact: Evan Keane |
| Applications are invited for a Postgraduate Research Lindsay Studentship, starting in October 2024. | | ▸ more | The ability to quickly detect transients has grown enormously in the last decade due to new optical wide-field surveys, radio arrays and multi-messenger facilities. Transients can originate from gravitational wave events; fast radio bursts; supernovae; active galactic nuclei; tidal disruption events; accreting binaries and stellar flares (to name just a few). This project aims to use radio telescope arrays, such as LOFAR, to detect outbursts from new radio sources which would then trigger the GOTO facility to detect the optical counterpart. We would envisage the student to become a full team member of the GOTO and the Irish LOFAR Consortia and the LOFAR 2.0 Large Proposal teams.
Applicants must have achieved, by the start data, a 1st or upper 2nd class (I or II.1 or equivalent: http://tiny.cc/degree_equiv) in a Masters or four-year undergraduate degree, in astrophysics or a related field. The successful candidate would be enrolled at Trinity College Dublin. This PhD studentship is open to EU/EEA/UK applicants (subject to confirmation of status). The successful applicant will receive a tax-free stipend of 25k euros per year and their University fees would be paid in full, for four years.
Prospective candidates should send a cover letter, a two-page CV and ask two referees to send a reference letter to astrojobs @ tcd.ie with the subject being ?FAO Evan Keane? by May 24th 2024. First selection will take place as soon as possible after this date.

| | ▸ more | The aim of the project is to study accretion flows around compact stars, such as black holes and neutron stars. Using numerical computer simulations, a model of the accretion disk instability driven by a dominant radiation pressure (RPI), will be studied. It has been shown that in RPI, a self?regulated process leads to cyclic oscillations of disk temperature, density and luminosity in the unstable parts, which can be modeled numerically . The development of the dynamical model specifically addressed to accreting stellar mass black holes (Janiuk et al. 2002) was motivated by discovery of the seminal source, microquasar GRS 1915+105. Later on, subsequently found other microquasars have proven to be subject to RPI (Sukova et al. 2016). In the context of supermassive black holes, statistical studies were used (Czerny et al. 2009) to shed light on the problem. Most recently, however, a new class of sources called changing?look (CL) AGN are observed, where the tentative timescales of their eruptions are suggesting the RPI in action (Miniutti et al. 2019). Most recently, neutron stars have been invoked in this context as well (Vincentelli et al. 2023).
