La thèse se déroulera au sein du groupe d'Astrophysique des Hautes Energies (AHE) du laboratoire APC. Celui-ci est cœur du développement de l'astronomie multi-messager des phénomènes transitoires extrêmes dans l'Univers.
Super-massive black holes are known to dwell at the center of galaxies. When accreting matter they are observed from Earth as active galactic nuclei (AGNs). In a minority of AGNs the accretion of matter onto the black-hole is associated with the ejection of a relativistic jet of plasma along the polar axis.
When the black-hole's jet points right in the direction of the Earth, relativistic effects boost the emission and make these objects among the brightest in the Universe. This peculiar AGNs are called blazars.
The University of Paris Cité is welcoming a student for a Master project in Data Intensive Astroparticle Physics to work under the supervision of Prof. Yvonne Becherini.

We propose to carry out a study of accretion and ejection processes in black hole systems which are highly variable or transient emitters of high energy photons, by using the multi-wavelength data of the SVOM space mission and the relevant multi-messenger data that will be available to our laboratory.
