-Numerical Simulations of Optically Thick Accretion onto Black Holes-

This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. AST-1211230. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.

As one component of this project, two students, Winslow Dibona and Steven Draugel, and I developed an educational iPad app about black holes. You can find more details and a link to download the app on our Journey to a Black Hole page.
