    The jets of X-ray binaries can produce (some of) the most energetic Galactic cosmic rays The origin of cosmic-rays remains one of the biggest mysteries in astrophysics. Cosmic rays can carry away large fractions of the total energy of their sources, contributing to the energy density of the interstellar medium as much as starlight does. […]

    What radio observations teach us about stellar winds, accretion, and feedback in binaries Binary systems containing a massive star and a compact object are excellent laboratories to study a wide range of extreme astrophysical processes. These binaries, intermediate stages in binary evolution towards merging compact objects, can launch powerful jets that shape their surroundings; they […]

    From Astroparticle Physics to Insurance Tech - Data Science at Zurich What does the price of your car insurance have to do with modeling a blazar spectrum? At the first glance, not much. But beneath the surface, both problems involve extracting information from complex and (often times messy) data. Insurance premiums are priced on the […]
