Description
I present the ERC project MuSES, which will study the physical processes near supermassive black holes that are responsible for launching and propagating relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei (AGN). Project objectives include (i) observational studies of AGN jet geometry, collimation and acceleration; (ii) probing the physical mechanism of neutrino production on the basis of multi-messenger blazar data. The prime goal is to use VLBI observations together with other electromagnetic and neutrino data to understand particle acceleration and neutrino production in active galaxies.
