Research fields: Astrophysical sources of the high-energy radiation and
their optical counterparts. Galactic X-ray sources: study of
cataclysmic variables, X-ray binaries and supersoft X-ray sources,
novae, analysis of their long-term activity and eruptive processes in
the X-ray and optical regions; accretion processes; relations of the
character of the orbital modulation to the current status of the
long-term activity; investigation of the dependence of the observed
characteristics of X-ray sources on their physical state and
parameters. Extragalactic sources: investigation of the afterglows of
the gamma-ray bursts (GRB), study of their comprehensive properties,
supernova - GRB connection, implications for the environment
in the host galaxies of GRBs. CCD photometry, data analysis and
evaluation. Participation in the international campaigns on the
high-energy astrophysical sources and their optical counterparts.
