Ms. Joana Kramer is a Ph.D. candidate at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy and a member of the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) for Astronomy and Astrophysics. Her research interests cover 3D relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of AGN as well as imaging and studying the (circular) polarization of both the simulations and observational data. Under the supervision of Prof. Eduardo Ros and Dr. Nicholas MacDonald she studies „Very Long Baseline Array Imaging of a TANAMI Active Galactic Nuclei“ and „Extragalactic Jets – Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations & Ray-Tracing“.

Dr. Jae-Young Kim, former post-doctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy and at present staff scientist at the  Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI), studies the formation and the phenomenology of relativistic jets ejected from supermassive black holes using state-of-art observational techniques, as VLBI observations with the Event Horizon Telescope.

Dr. Bia Boccardi, Otto Hahn Group leader at the MPI für Radioastronomie, describes her recent work on the study of the galaxy 3C 264.  This was published on July 4th, 2019 at the Volume 627 of the Astronomy & Astrophysics journal, see below.
