Research will be conducted on a diverse array of problems in                    Theoretical Astrophysics.  Topics within six broad areas will be                investigated:  (A) Galaxies and Galaxy Clusters; (B) Stellar                    Dynamics and Numerical Techniques; (C) General Relativity and the               Generation of Gravitational Radiation; (D) Physics of Radio                     Pulsars and Compact X-ray Sources; (E) The Interstellar Medium;                 and (F) Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology.  The borderlines                   between these areas of astrophysics and of hydrodynamics,                       relativity and high energy physics will be emphasized.  Specific                problems for investigation will be chosen for their astrophysical               relevance and physical content.  Astrophysical objects which will               be studied include large, self-gravitating, N-body systems (galaxy              clusters, galaxies, relativistic star clusters, and globular                    clusters), compact stars (white dwarfs, neutron stars and black                 holes), interstellar hydrogen, and density perturbations in the                 early universe.  Methods of analysis will extend from rather                    simple, analytic model construction to large-scale computer                     calculations.  The close relationship between theory and                        observation will be emphasized.
