Dynamical chaos in the problem of magnetic jet collimation O. Yu. ... In the paper of Bisnovatyi-Kogan (2007) magnetic collimation resulting from torsional oscillations of a cylinder with elongated magnetic field and periodically distributed initial rotation around the cylinder axis was considered. ... Space and time periods of oscillations depend on the conditions of jet formation: the length-scale, the amplitude of the rotational velocity, and the strength of the magnetic field. ...

... We considered our current level of technology compared to that of an average alien civilization. Regardless of any modest value of L chosen?500 years, 5000 years, or longer?their level of technology is vastly advanced compared to ours. Thus, most science fiction gets it right by having advanced alien technology, but gets it wrong by not making them sufficiently advanced. ... What would alien civilizations at a distance of 100 or 1000 lightyears know of us (hypothetically)? ... Education . ...

Chair of solid state physics . ... The Physics of Phonons . ... In the first part of the course “The Physics of Phonons” the dynamics of atoms in one- and three- dimensional crystalline lattices is considered in detail. The quasiparticle conception in solids, taking phonons as an example, is discussed; creation and annihilation operators of phonons, main properties of acoustic and optical phonons dispersion laws, density of phonon states. ... Crystalline state. ... Acoustic and optical phonons. ...

... One of these factors is how the client application uses VDPAU; i.e. the number of surfaces allocated for buffering, order of operations, etc. ... At a bare minimum, the application must allocate one video surface for each reference frame that the stream can use (2 for MPEG or VC-1, a variable stream-dependent number for H.264) plus one surface for the picture currently being decoded. However, if this minimum number of surfaces is used, performance may be poor. ... Performance Levels . ...

... Bojan Nikolic web pages home . ... There are quite a few large astronomical data analysis packages like IRAF and CASA which offer tools for filtering and smoothing of astronomical images. ... In particular I found that importing a FITS file into CASA, doing some smoothing and re-exporting to FITS introduced enough changes to the format of to the structure of the image that I could easily continue analysis of the image outside the CASA package. ...

The aim of this section of the course is to enable you to use simple computer programs to solve a variety of common astronomical tasks. ... I have (somewhat arbitrarily) decided to use Python for this course, because it seems to be gaining popularity fast for astronomical data handling, and because some of you will have encountered it at the ATNF course. ... We've put Python (plus all relevant libraries) on the Stromlo Linux computers moron and maggot. ... Now log in to moron (or maggot). ...

A visual impression of the data used in the study. The relevant extra-galactic maps are represented as shells of increasing distance from Earth from left to right. ... After this are six shells containing maps of the millions of distant galaxies used in the study. These maps are produced using different telescopes in different wavelengths and are color-coded to show denser clumps of galaxies as red and less dense regions as blue. There are holes in the maps due to data quality cuts. ...

Understanding the early phases of assembly and formation of galaxies is a challenge. ... The IAU symposium 317 at the XXIX IAU GA in 2015 will take place at the verge of a revolution that is brought about by the availability of unprecedent new data, provided by the Gaia satellite, space telescopes (HST, Spitzer) and by a number of large ground-based spectroscopic and photometric surveys of the Milky Way, M31 and external galaxies. ...
