Research Topics
Multiwavelength studies of low-mass x-ray binaries, gamma-ray bursters, x-ray
instrumentation, scientic data systems, symbiotic stars, RS CVn stars.
Studies of Low-Mass X-ray Binaries: Multi-wavelength studies of Low-Mass
X-ray Binaries, concentrating on X-ray, IR, and optical wavelengths, but including radio
and UV wavelengths. Comparisons of Black Hole and Neutron Star X-ray transients and
advection dominated models. Studies of the XRB population and nuclear Black Hole in
M31. Optical and X-ray follow-up of Gamma-Ray Bursters.
X-ray Instrumentation: Design and testing components of the AXAF High
Resolution Camera (HRC), including acquisition and testing of new micro-channel plates,
and optimizing instrumental sensitivity. Design and testing of ROSAT HRI, concentrating
on the UV/Ion shields; analysis of in- ight calibration of ROSAT HRI. Design and
testing of the Energetic X-ray Imaging Telescope Experiment (EXITE). Designing and
programming the data acquisition system (based on a VAX II).
Scientic Data Systems: Production and distribution of CDROMs containing
Einstein HRI data and IPC Slew Survey, including software and documentation for its
analysis. Design and development of network based systems to distribution of all Einstein
data. As Einstein Data Center Project Scientist, responsible supervisor for 20+ employees
and $2M/year budget.
Measurement of radial velocity curves in Symbiotic Stars: This project was
the rst (successful) attempt to measure the orbital parameters of a number of Symbiotic
Stars. The number of orbital periods known has been nearly doubled. It was shown that
the entire class can be understood with a binary model, and dierences in the individual
stars can be understood in terms of their newly determined orbital parameters.
X-ray studies of RS CVn stars: The discovery of hard X-ray ares in RS CVn
variables was reported in the 1980 Garca et al. article. This discovery solved a long
2

standing question in X-ray astronomy about the origin of the `high galactic latitude
transients'. They are caused by ares in RS CVn stars.
