Projects
Exploring fundamental physics with compact stars
European cooperation in science and technology: COST Action MP1304 (2013–2017).
Probing Strong Gravity by Black Holes Across the Range of MassesThis five year EU-FP7 project brings together scientists from seven top European research institutions and universities, including the Astronomical Institute in Prague, who are experts in black-hole astrophysics (2013–2017). More on project webpage.
Polarisation as a tool to study Solar system and beyondEuropean cooperation in science and technology: COST Action MP1104 (2012–2015).
Black Holes in a Violent UniverseEuropean cooperation in science and technology: COST Action MP0905 (2010–2014).
Active galactic nuclei and Galactic black holes from XMM-NewtonEuropean Space Agency research project (PECS, 2007–2011). Our goal in this project is to further develop and extend mainly theoretical modeling of radiation processes near accreting black holes.
Center for Theoretical AstrophysicsOur group participates in activities of the Center for Theoretical Astrophysics (CTA, 2006–2010). Mission of CTA is to conduct a top-level research in the field of physics of compact objects, physics of galaxies, and the cosmic environment. We also carry out graduate teaching in these subjects.
