Beecroft Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology

The BIPAC is a hub of research in theoretical astrophysics and physics, focusing on the origin and evolution of the universe, the formation of large scale structure, dark energy, dark matter and the theory of gravitation.
Jets and vortices

Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics

We study and research fluid-dynamical phenomena and processes that occur in geophysical and astrophysical systems, such as planetary atmospheres and oceans, stars, accretion disks and interstellar gas clouds.
