Detection technique . We are using ISIS , the optimal image subtraction method developed by C. Alard & R.H. Lupton, to search for SNe in our images. ... The second image shows the same subtraction, but after the convolution of the best image with ISIS: . ... For this reason, we are suggested to search for nuclear SNe with NICMOS on HST, to exploit its stable PSF, sensitivity and angular resolution to detect from space nuclear obscured SNe which might have been missed by ground-based surveys. ...

... Two files from two exposures (even from different observations or instruments) are taken as input. These may be EPIC event lists or two other additional files (attitude files, orbit files etc [see comments]). ... Warnings are given when the event files are deemed not entirely compatible (i.e. their INSTRUME or FILTER keywords are different). ... Given here is a summary of the current conditions whereby event files (or parts thereof [blocks/columns etc]) are or are not merged. ...

In Samara we traditionally prepare specialists for the whole country. ...

... According to the estimations of the RSC Energia it will take at least 10 years and 500-600 million $ (cost of adjustment, preparation, equipment's launching and accompaniment of carrying out of the experiments is included) to build up a similar experimental complex. ... It was carried out successfully. ... Radiation researches on the station Mir, carrying out by Moscow State University, gave rise to the construction of the dynamic picture of radiation zones' changes during the sun activity cycle. ...

. Mars was imaged in great detail in 2005. New research indicates Earth's core formed under different conditions from those that existed on Mars. One possible explanation for this is the difference in mass between the two planets. With Earth being eight times larger than Mars, the pressure of core-formation could be higher. Different silicate phases also may have been involved. NASA/JPL/USGS

About Zones of Resonant Returns of Asteroid Apophis . ... Asteroid Apophis is one of extremely dangerous NEOs. ... Using analytical and numerical tools, we investigate the loss of precision after the Earth approach in 2029 and the possible approach in 2036. ... Possible trajectories of collisions with the Earth have been found analytically and numerically in this chaotic region. To construct these trajectories we used quasi-random intermediate motions, made up from resonant collision orbits. ...
