Foremost, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my advisors Mirel Birlan and
Constantin P. Cristescu for their continuous support of my Ph.D study and research, for their
patience, motivation, enthusiasm, and immense knowledge. I am grateful to Mirel also for
the observational data, the telescope time and the scholarships. He also took care of all the
administrative staff and ensured me with a very pleasant stay in Paris (thanks also to Mariana,
Mirela, Daniel and Florian).
I would like to thank my thesis committee: Vasile Iftode - the jury president, Olivier
Groussin, Petre Popescu, Dan Dumitraş - the reviewers, and Jean Souchay the examiner, for
evaluating my work, and for their constructive and helpful suggestions.
I am grateful to the colleagues from IMCCE - Observatoire de Paris, for the chance to visit
and to be a part of the institute. Thank you for welcoming me as a friend and helping to develop
the ideas in this thesis.
I thank to Dan Alin Nedelcu for the encouragement, for insightful comments, and for all the
help during the period I wrote my thesis at Astronomical Institute of Romanian Academy. I am
also grateful for getting me in your team at AIRA.
I thank to Ovidiu Vaduvescu for the opportunity to become astronomer. Our collaborations
were very fruitful for me, and I will always appreciate the help you gave me at the beginning
of my career.
I also want to thank to all of my friends from Admiral V. Urseanu Observatory and from
Astroclubul Bucureşti. In particular, I want to thank to Adrian Şonka, Oana Sandu, Radu
Gherase and Marian Naiman for all the evenings full of astronomy, for all the discussions we
had and for all star parties.
Last but not the least, I would like to thank my future wife - Andreea, for her love and
support over the past two years. To my Mom and Dad, to my brother Bogdan, and to my aunt
Silvia, I am grateful for their support and encouragement.
Vă mulţumesc tuturor!
