INTERESTS & IDEAS

Discussions/Collaborations are welcome !

• Science
  • Exact comparison of shock velocities vs. acceleration efficiencies in SNRs
  • Thermal/non-thermal aspects of shock-cloud interaction
  • SNRs w/ central binaries –> young BHs ?
  • SNRs w/ jets
  • Failed supernovae –> BHs ?

• Detectors
  • CMOS sensors: pixel size vs. depletion depth
  • Reducing background of X-ray satellites, especially by neutral particles

• Future (dreams)
  • Measuring highest energy cosmic rays up to 10^20 eV with something other than large telescope arrays
  • Smaller plans without rockets to realize X-ray/gamma-ray observations
