VLA & MERLIN Observations of the Quasar 0800+608: Examined unpolarized morphol- ogy, spectral behavior, fractional polarization, Faraday rotation, and 3-D hydrodynamic simulations to study atypical morphology.

Relativistic AGN Jets: Analysis of dual frequency polarization VLBA observations of 12 AGN. Developed C++ computer simulation of Blandford-Koenigl model for inhomogeneous relativistic jets.

Chandra Observations of Early-Type Galaxies: Examined the point source population, pre- dominantly low mass X-ray binaries, and diffuse gas, concentrating on luminosity functions, spectral properties, variability, and spatial profiles. Compared low mass X-ray binary and globular cluster populations. Galaxy Distribution in 2MASS: Examined gravitational quasi-equilibrium distribution and distribution near X-ray selected clusters.
