Hot neutron star atmospheres and X-ray bursts from them My curriculum vitae (with links to where I've studied, worked, etc.) My bibliography in pdf form. Web Page about the interesting double-jet source SS 433. Here's the press release which has more pictures. The paper on the X-ray image of 3C 273 jet. See the beautiful color image of the jet, comparing the X-ray image to the optical and radio views of it. Here's the press release which has more pictures.
