... Seminar archive . ... Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) have an important role to measure a distance to an anonymous galaxy because they have a good correlation of the decline rates of the light curves with the absolute luminosity. ... First, super-Chandrasekhar SNe which have extremely high luminosity, slow decline rate of the light curves, slow expansion velocity and strong carbon features. ... As another example of diversity of SNe Ia, I would like also to introduce Type Iax SNe. ... All seminars: . ...

The most massive black holes in the nearby Universe seem to largely be hosted by massive central cluster galaxies. The ultra-massive black hole in NGC 1277, reported by van den Bosch et al. based on a stellar kinematic measurement, is an extreme outlier in this respect. NGC 1277 is not a central cluster galaxy, but a lenticular galaxy in the Perseus Cluster, at a distance of about 3.8 from the central cluster galaxy. ...

... The planets are still growing slowly as comets and meteoroids collide with them. ... In the 1950s, American astronomer Fred Whipple suggested that comets are dirty snowballs: clumps of ice mixed with interplanetary dust. ... For most of its orbit, a comet remains far from the Sun, little more than the dirty snowball that it is -- what is usually called a bare nucleus. ... As Comet Hyakutake approached the Sun, jets of dust erupted from the Sun-facing side of its nucleus. ...

... The Galactic low-mass X-ray binary GS 2023+338 was discovered during the burst on May 22, 1989 with the Japanise satellite Ginga (aka Galaxy). The flux reached 17 crabs (this unit of flux measurement is an bright X-ray source, Crab Nebula) at 10-35 keV. ... No other radio telescope worldwide carried out multi-frequency measurements. ... Upon 14 days the radio flux fell below the detection level at the RATAN-600 in relation to the decrease of the X-ray flux. ...

... We compare our results with the GRANAT X-ray observations of the Galactic center (Churazov et al. ... It is instructive to compare our results for the Galactic center starburst with what might be expected for a continuous star formation, with the average rate characteristic for the whole Galaxy. For this continuous star formation model, we would expect to observe in the region of around the Galactic center about 10% of the total number of X-ray sources in the Galaxy. ...
