X-RAY ASTROPHYSICS
My research field is the X-ray
astronomy utilizing observation data sets acquired with X-ray
space telescopes.
Under the direction of
Prof. John P. Finley
I have been working on various Galactic X-ray sources such as neutron
stars, premain-sequence stars and their diffuse environs with data from
space-borne observatories such as ROSAT, RXTE, etc.. My thesis
project is the study of the soft X-ray background in the Galactic plane
in collaboration with
Dr. Steven L. Snowden at NASA/
Goddard Space Flight Center,
utilizing ROSAT PSPC observations.
A brief summary of my thesis and some previous works is described as
