Astrophysics of galaxies and galaxy clusters, with focus on:
- hot gas flows in early-type galaxies: modeling and X-ray
observations
- dark matter content of early-type galaxies
- central supermassive black holes in the local universe:
observations and modeling of accretion properties
- X-ray binaries population and stellar X-ray emission in nearby
galaxies
- metal content of the interstellar and intracluster medium
