... 2000 October 30 . A Step Toward Gravitational Wave Detection . ... Explanation: Accelerate a charge and you'll get electromagnetic radiation : light. But accelerate any mass and you'll get gravitational radiation . Light is seen all the time, but, so far, a confirmed direct detection of gravitational radiation has yet to be made . ...

Electron-Bombarded, Back-Illuminated CCD Sensors . For Low-Light-Level Imaging Applications . ... Damage to the gate structure oxide layers from keV level X-rays will likely result in increased dark current and decreased full-well capacity. ... Figure 14 shows the increase in dark current versus incident electron energies. ... The back-thinned CCD's 'lifetime' is defined, herein, to be a 50 electron per pixel increase in CCD dark current per 16.7 millisecond integration period. ...

In the regular experiments carried out with the RAS radio telescopes at Pushchino during 1999-2002, the study of the radial dependence of scattering of compact natural radio sources was extended to remote regions of the solar plasma environment. ... The stream in the transalfvenic region displays the same typical radial structure as observed in the transonic region, i.e., the existence of a "precursor" - a narrow band of reduced scattering preceding a wide region of enhanced scattering. ...

... Cosmic Vacuum . Recent observational studies of remote supernovae have suggested the existence of cosmic vacuum with the density which is larger than the total density of all the other forms of cosmic energy in the Universe. Vacuum produces the field of anti-gravity and induces acceleration of the cosmological expansion. ... The discovery of the cosmic vacuum leads to a drastic change in the current concepts concerning the present state of the Universe. ...

... The picture shows a 2-dimensional sketch of the outflowing wind of a quasar (Elvis 2000, Astrophysical Journal , vol.545, p.63-76). In the funnel-shaped disk wind Elvis (2000) model a wind arises from a restricted range of radii on the accretion disk around the central black hole. Initially the wind makes a large angle to the disk plane (and so is roughly cylindrical). ... Looking through the quasi-cylindrical part of the wind we see UV and X-ray warm absorbers. ...

... In spite of the fact that the orbit assumes a zero gravity (the scientists count on it by growing super-clean crystals and other materials impossible on the earth), in fact, none spacecraft provides such conditions. ...
