Final Goal

Unravelling the Key Roles of Gravity and Magnetic Fields (GrandMagnet) in Cosmic Evolution

Main Objectives

• Advance our understanding on the influence of gravity and magnetic fields on interstellar dust/gas and star formation/stellar feedback.

• Understand the effects of gravity and magnetic fields  on grain growth and planet formation.

• Understand the effects of extreme gravity and magnetic fields  on black hole growth and accretion disks as well as relativistic jets.

• Unravel the influence of extreme gravity and magnetic fields  on black hole feedback and transients, as well as their impact on interstellar and circumgalactic matter.

Five Main Tasks

1. Developing HPC Computing Infrastructure and Numerical Simulation Codes.

2. Developing Advanced Theory and Numerical Models.

3. Developing Innovative Analysis Methods and Measurement Techniques by Bridging Theory with Observations.

4. Conducting Observations and Big Data Analysis.

5. Numerical Modeling and Synthetic Observations of Numerical Simulations.
