INTAS project 2003

INTAS project
Polarized light from comets, planets and circumstellar shells:
observations and radiative transfer modelling

Project Coordinator:

Prof. J. Hough (University of Hertfordshire, United Kingdom)

Teams:

Astrophysics Research and Light Scattering Groups, University of Hertfordshire, UK (6 persons)

Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, Heidelberg, Germany (4 persons)

Sobolev Astronomical Institute, St.Petersburg State University, Russia (5 persons)

Institute of Computational Mathematics and Mathematical Geophysics, Novosibirsk, Russia (5 persons)

Special Astrophysical Observatory of Russian Academy of Science, Russia (3 persons)

Research Institute of Astronomy, Kharkov National University, Ukraina (4 persons)

St.Petersburg State University of Aerocosmic Instrumentation, Russia (3 persons)
Basic Documents:
- Summary (ASCII file)
- Proposal, including Objectives, Backgrouds, Task description, Management, etc. (ASCII file)
Possible duration:
- January 1st, 2004 - December 31st, 2006
List of tasks:
- Observational study of dusty objects in polarized light, modelling, interpretation of observations
  - Evolved stars and protoplanetary nebulae
  - Young stellar objects and star formation regions
  - Comets and cometary0like bodies
  - Stars with protoplanetary discs and planets
- Mathematical modelling, development of sophisticated radiative transfer methods and software
  - Construction of special algorithms for simulation of polarized radiation transfer in dusty objects
  - Development of Monte Carlo codes for consideration of cosmic media and their paralleling
- Light scattering theory and experiments
  - Theoretical investigations of the light scattering by non-spherical particles
  - Experimental study of the scattering properties of irregularly shaped mineral particles
- Electronic database on light scattering applications in astronomy
Expected results and their dessimination:
Events:
- Prof. Voshchinnikov (a coordinating person from the fSU side)
  attends both western partner groups to discuss the project
  for a month in April-May, 2003.
- Meeting of 10 participants (incl. the project coordinator
  Prof. Hough and Prof. Voshchinnikov) from 4 teams should occur
  during a polarization NATO workshop in Yalta, Ukraine.
Miscellaneous:
- The site of the previous INTAS project (Open Call 1999 grant 652)
  focussed on light scattering by non-spherical inhomogeneous
  cosmic dust grains and extended in this project by consideration
  of radiative transfer in various media populated by such particles,
  different object observations and their modelling and interpretation.
