    RESEARCH INTERESTS:

  • Magnetic fields in disks and halos of spiral galaxies
  • Dynamo action and its observational signature
  • Origin and morphology of radio halos
  • Density waves and spiral structure
  • Morphology and dynamics of molecular gas in galaxies
  • Cold dust in galaxies
  • Physical conditions in the ISM in nearby galaxies
  • Radio - (far)infrared correlation in galaxies
  • Radio jets and their magnetic fields

    My work is based on radio line-, continuum- and linear polarization- observations from submm to cm wavelength range with many different telescopes like the 100-m Effelsberg, VLA, Pico Veleta, Plateau de Bure Interferometer, Nobeyama 45-m and Millimeter Array, SEST and Heinrich-Hertz-Telescope.
  • Here you can get the program bfield.gz to compute the strength of the total and regular magnetic fields from total and polarized synchrotron intensities as described by R.Beck & M.Krause, 2005, AN 326, No.6, 414. The program was compiled with SuSE linux 8.2.
