KETJU
The KETJU project funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and the Academy of Finland (AoF) studies the dynamics and impact of supermassive black holes using numerical simulations. The code making these simulations possible is publicly available.
SIBELIUS
The SIBELIUS project funded by the Academy of Finland (AoF) studies the formation and evolution of the Local Group of galaxies in their true cosmic environment by utilising constrained numerical simulations.
Other research topics of our group members include the formation and evolution of stellar clusters, radiative transfer in the vicinity of compact objects, the formation of the first supermassive black holes and the formation and evolution of massive galaxies.

New group members join the SIBELIUS/APRIORI project
The research group welcomes one postdoc, Dr. Gábor Rácz and one PhD student, M.Sc. Jenni Häkkinen, who have both joined the group to work on SIBELIUS/APRIORI related research projects.
Published Article: The difficult path to coalescence: massive black hole dynamics in merging low-mass dark matter haloes and galaxies
In this article we systematically study the dynamical sinking of massive black holes in low mass galaxies using the KETJU code. Our idealized high-resolution study highlights the difficulty to bring in and keep low-mass MBHs in the centres of low-mass haloes/galaxies.
New group members join the KETJU project
The research group welcomes two postdocs, Dr. Bastián Reinoso, Dr. Toni Tuominen and one PhD student, M.Sc. Max Mattero, who all have joined the group to work on KETJU related research projects.
