Research introduction
We have recently developed Themis, a modular and extensible parameter estimation framework for the Event Horizon Telescope. Themis is used throughout the collaboration to reconstruct black hole images, but also to apply a large number of physical and geometric models to very long baseline interferometry data.
We have a strong background in utilising dynamic spacetime codes such as the Einstein toolkit to model mergers of compact objects like black holes or neutron stars and to compute the gravitational waves emitted from first principle.
Dynamic spacetime codes are also used to simulate the challenging astrophysical conditions of binary black holes that are accumulating magnetised turbulent gas.
