Sometime in
April --- May | Dr Staszek Bajtlik arrives from Warsaw to Göteborg for approximately two weeks, to help developing new points in my course with Gustaf that are connected to the dark matter problem. The idea is to edit lecture notes in a form of a book (first as a university publication), and make a DVD multimedia addition to it. | |||

Jun 23 Thu |
At Stanford University, California
I will work there with Prof. Robert Wagoner, on accretion disk non-linear oscillations. Wagoner is (together with Prof. Shoji Kato of Kyoto University) the best expert in the world in this particularly important and difficult subject. I have a new idea in the subject, that already attracted a considerable attention of the community. Developing it quickly and efficiently is my highest research priority. A possibility of meaningful working contacts with the two best world experts is for me a very desirable investment in the future of my research group. (I will meet again Robert Wagoner, together with Shoji Kato, the other famous expert in the subject, in August 2005, at the Wojnowice Castle Workshop that I organize.) | |||

Jun 26 Sun
Jul 29 Fri |
In Santa Barbara, Institute of Theoretical Physics
I was invited to participate one month in an ITP research program (on relativistic disks and jets). ITP research programs are widely considered to the best in the world in their type, and invitation to attend one is considered to be a clear recognition of a world-status. It is my third ITP program that I am attending. I hope that two Ph.D. students whom I am helping to supervise, Paola Rebusco (an Italian student at the Max-Planck-Institute, Munich), and Jiri Horak (a Czech student at the Charles University, Prague), will be granted special, very competitive, ITP students grants, and will join me at Santa Barbara. Three my Ph.D. students have been awarded such ITP grants previously. | |||

In Paris, Institut d'Astrophysique Paris (IAP) =with the Distinguished Grant of the French Government= Institut d'Astrophysique in Paris rivals the English Cambridge in its excellency in theoretical astrophysics research. (Notabene, I was last time at the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge in 2003, and I plan my next visit there in 2006, as I have no time this year to visit Cambridge.) For many astrophysicists, the Paris Institute is today the best place in Europe to conduct theoretical research in high-energy astrophysics. =I will work there, with Prof. Jean-Pierre Lasota, the best-known French theoretician, on QPOs in CVs. =I will also work with Prof. Suzy Collin (IAP) and Dr Toshihiro Kawaguchi (Osawa, Japan) on super-Eddington luminosities in quasars. =Dr Kawaguchi will specially come to Paris to work with me and Prof. Collin there, and he will be paid by the French. November 03, Thursday: flight Paris--Copenhagen | |||
