The Theorectical Astrophysics research program explores the areas of: 

• compact stars, such as white dwarfs, neutron stars (pulsars and magnetars ) and black holes
• radiation processes and transfer mechanisms in accretion flows on to highly magnetic compact stars
• modelling of accretion disks
• modelling of stars and magnetic atmospheres
• cataclysmic variable binaries
• searching for the progenitors of type Ia supernovae.
