Observed characteristics of selected active bodies in the solar system as indicators of their origin and evolution

dissimilarity in chemical and physical properties of active small bodies can illuminate their origin and/or evolution. The key scientific goal is to understand how activity modifies the characteristics of small

Solar activity cycles – empirical implications for the solar dynamo modelling

of its importance for different periods together with searching for probable periodicities of the activity. Requirements: English language, programming skills, physical background Research field: Research

The early stage of classical nova explosions

: The nova phenomenon is the result of the sudden thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium in the surface layer of a white dwarf (WD). The fuel for this process is hydrogen material that is deposited

Outburst of the symbiotic star BF Cyg with flares and collimated mass ejections

of their research. Objectives: The aim of the PhD thesis is to determine the basic physical parameters of the BF Cyg radiation regions (temperatures, radii, luminosities, emission volume, mass-loss rate from the

Radiation-driven astrochemical processes in ice phases: applications for space environments

Solar System. Requirements: – MSc degree (or equivalent) in chemistry, physics, astronomy, engineering, or other relevant quantitative scientific field – Knowledge of written and spoken English at

The origin and formation of the inner Oort cloud

the formation of the Oort cloud in its birth star cluster. In more detail, we will solve open questions of this process using numerical simulations with respect of recent observations. Among answers on various
