Stellar evolution
Single and binary stellar evolution, structure, mass loss, angular momentum evolution, and evolutionary pathways across different mass regimes.
Ege University · İzmir · Türkiye
A next-generation research group for compact objects, stellar evolution, and gravitational astrophysics.
eGRAVITY develops observational, theoretical, and computational astrophysics across binary evolution, X-ray binaries, star clusters, black holes, gravitational waves, and multi-messenger astronomy.
Research pillars
7 scientific themes
Approach
Observation + theory + computation
Vision
From stars to space-time
Who we are
An original astrophysics identity built around deep physics and strong visual communication.
The Ege Gravitational Astrophysics Research Group (eGRAVITY) is designed as a modern, outward-looking research environment that connects stellar astrophysics with gravitational physics, compact objects, and time-domain astronomy.
Our scientific style is interdisciplinary: we combine light curves, radial velocities, spectroscopy, stellar evolution modelling, population studies, numerical simulations, and multi-messenger interpretation to understand how extreme systems form and evolve.
Research themes
Core scientific directions
Binary and multiple systems
Detached, semi-detached, contact, compact, and interacting systems, with emphasis on mass transfer, orbital evolution, and observational constraints.
X-ray binaries
Black-hole and neutron-star X-ray binaries, irradiation, accretion physics, secular evolution, optical behaviour, and donor-star diagnostics.
Star clusters
Open and globular clusters, membership analysis, stellar populations, binary content, ages, distances, and cluster-based tests of stellar models.
Black holes and gravitational waves
Formation channels of compact binaries, gravitational-wave sources, merger physics, relativistic astrophysics, and compact-object demographics.
Multi-messenger astrophysics
Joint interpretation of electromagnetic, gravitational-wave, and time-domain signals from compact and transient astrophysical systems.
Visual science
A research website that looks like astrophysics
The visual language of the group can combine real research figures, observatory concepts, compact-object art, JWST imagery, and curated scientific graphics to create a strong and recognisable identity.
Digital platform
Built to grow from a group website into a scientific portal.
This design can later host publications, datasets, opportunities, seminar announcements, telescope campaigns, code releases, model grids, interactive figures, and bilingual news updates.
