Highlights of Scientific Work
- Discovery of X-ray emission from hot, diffuse baryons in galaxy Clusters and Groups
- The now standard, p-model for the radiai distribution of the hot intracluster plasma and its bremsstrahlung emission
- How entropy sets the baryon apart from the dark matter distribution in galaxy Clusters Distance of galaxy Clusters from X-ray luminosity and CMB spectral perturbation
- Non-thermal emissions from AGN and Quasars
- Continuity equation for the luminosity function of Quasars and its cosmological evolution
- Models of gamma-ray emissions from Blazars
