My research interests are focussed on the theory and modelling of accretion processes as well as star and planet formation mechanisms. I am particularly interested in the stability properties of accretion discs, the generation of MHD turbulence and associated angular momentum transport, disk - planet interactions and the origin and characteristics of jets and winds from accreting systems . ...

Next: Data reduction Up: Spectral observations and data Previous: Observations with the KPNO . Follow-up spectroscopy with this telescope was conducted as a back-up for a main program which needed photometric conditions. So, the observations presented here were obtained in non-photometric conditions and the absolute flux calibration of the data is unreliable. The Cassegrain focal reducer CAFOS of the 2.2m telescope was used with a long slit of 300 3 and a grism of 187 ? ...

... A radio galaxy is a galaxy that emits an unusually big amount of energy at radio wavelengths. ... Inside of each galaxy with an active nucleus (radio galaxies are among them) there must be a system of a "central machine" responsible for the colossal amount of the emitted energy from radio to gamma ranges. ... Sometimes a radio source in an active galaxy may flare again if the needed conditions appear (a new portion of matter would fall into the furnace of the "central machine"). ...
