Gravity and Magnetic fields (GrandMagnet) are the two fundamental forces shaping cosmic ecosystems. The formation of key gas and dust structures in the interstellar medium (e.g., molecular clouds, filaments, cores/disks) and astronomical objects (e.g., stars, exoplanets, black holes, and galaxies) are governed by the complex interplay between gravity, magnetic fields, and stellar/black hole feedback. The GrandMagnet project aims to advance our understanding of how the interaction between gravity and magnetic fields regulates the formation of these celestial objects and how stellar and black hole feedback influences interstellar and circumgalactic matter. To investigate these dynamical astrophysical processes, the GrandMagnet project uses an innovative research approach that integrates theoretical studies and magnetohydrodynamic simulations with observations through synthetic modeling.
We use an innovative and comprehensive research approach by bridging theory and numerical simulations with observations via synthetic observations.
