Research summary

D. M. Terndrup's research focuses on quasars, extremely luminous and distant galactic centers powered by supermassive black holes, particularly those showing broad absorption lines caused by fast-moving gas outflows. Much of the work uses spectral-synthesis modeling (SimBAL) to characterize the physical properties, location, and energy of these outflows in a class of objects called FeLoBAL quasars. This research contributes to understanding how quasars eject and shape surrounding gas, which is relevant to galaxy evolution.

Publication output has been fairly steady but modest over the last decade, fluctuating between roughly 2 and 6 papers per year without a clear upward or downward trend.
