First-ever image of a black hole
The first-ever image of a black hole, at the center of the Messier 87 galaxy, was captured through a broad international collaboration that included U of T researcher Ue-Li Pen (photo courtesy of U.S. National Science Foundation)First-ever image of a black hole

TRAPPIST-1
| A CITA/CPS team has simulated the formation of the TRAPPIST-1 system. They show that interactions with the surrounding birth disk can allow the planets to tune themselves into a stable, resonant configuration that saves it from destruction. They also created software that directly translates the motion of planetary systems into music so that the rhythmic and harmonic structure can be seen and heard. The resonant chain of TRAPPIST-1 produces a surprisingly beautiful and eerily human result. Article |

Second Detection of Gravitational Waves
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration has announced the second direct detection of gravitational waves, emitted by a 22-solar mass binary black hole collision. Researchers from CITA at the University of Toronto have been actively involved in the data analysis of the event.Second Detection of Gravitational Waves

Fast Radio Bursts
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are enigmatic bright radio pulses whose cosmic origins are yet to be uncovered. Professor Ue-Li Pen was part of the team of astronomers who discovered the most detailed FRB ever recorded by analyzing 650 hours of telescope data using special computational techniques.Fast Radio Bursts

The Aurora Borealis at ARO
A rare view of the Northern Lights seen over a lake at the Algonquin Radio Observatory where observations of pulsars and fast radio bursts are made. CITA professor Ue-Li Pen leads this effort to do trans-national interferometric observation in collaboration with the Dunlap Institute and the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at U of T.| More |

About CITA
The Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics is a nationally supported research centre located at the University of Toronto that is devoted to studying the origin and evolution of the universe, and the many wonderful phenomena revealed by modern astronomy. We foster interaction within the community of astrophysicists through workshops and a constant flow of visitors. Distinguished alumni of our vibrant post-doctoral program are spread across Canada and the globe.
