Radio image of the exploding star RS Ophiuchi
My research interests lie in the broad area of astrophysical gas
dynamics mainly applied to circumstellar phenomena.
These include
theoretical and observational studies of classical and recurrent nova
explosions, supernovae and planetary nebulae.
I combine modelling with observation at wavelengths ranging from the radio to
the X-ray.

Observing - In my work I use observatories around the world, including the Very Large Telescope in the Andes mountains in Chile, the orbiting Swift spacecraft, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the radio telescopes e-MERLIN and VLBI. |
