Black holes and neutron stars are believed to be the compact                    remnants of formerly massive stars that passed through their                    evolution and ejected their outer envelopes in supernova                        explosions (some black holes, such as those thought to exist in                 the cores of some galaxies, may have other origins).  These                     compact stellar objects are characterized by strong magnetic and                gravitational fields.  Many are accreting matter from nearby                    companions, giving rise to the emission of short wavelength                     radiation.  The Principal Investigator proposes to study the                    radiation emitted by black holes and neutron stars and the                      distortion of this radiation by strong magnetic and gravitational               fields.
