Hagai B.
Perets, Ph.D. is
a CfA postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for
Astrophysics (CfA).
Hagai’s main work is in gravitational dynamics at small and large
scales;
from the dynamics of planetesimals and asteroids in the Solar System to
stellar dynamics of stars and massive black holes in galactic nuclei.
He also works on a wide range of fields in astrophysics (and
quantum physics), most notably peculiar low mass
supernovae.
He coauthored
Massive perturber-driven interactions of stars with a massive black
hole,
Realization of quantum walks with negligible decoherence in waveguide
lattices,
An Extremely Top-Heavy IMF in the Galactic Center Stellar
Disks,
A faint type of supernova from a white dwarf with a helium-rich
companion,
Evidence for Warped Disks of Young Stars in the Galactic
Center, and
Molecular Hydrogen Formation on Ice Under Interstellar
Conditions.
