... Research . Projects . ... The name of the project APEX is a reduction from words " Active Plasma Experiments " . The core of the project are active experiments with injection of electron and (or) plasma beams from a board of the satellite with simultaneous registration of the phenomena, produced by interaction of injected beam with background plasma. ... Active experiments utilise modulated electron beam accelerator and source of modulated xenon plasma beam on the main spacecraft APEX. ...

... The French-Russian Poncelet Laboratory organizes the conference on "Random Processes, Conformal Field Theory and Integrable Systems", September 19-23, 2011, to take place in the Independent University of Moscow. ... In the last decades, the understanding of these processes has greatly benefited from the use of conformal field theory (CFT) and integrable systems (IS) which have been widely studied in the community of theoretical and mathematical physicists. ...

ION AND ELECTRON ENERGY DETECTOR PAN-2 . ... The energy and angular distributions of charged particles can bring further information on the nature and spatial scales of magnetospheres processes. ... It permits the fast measurements of energy and angular parameters of charged particles in the range 40eV-40keV. ... The sensor unit is an electron electrostatic, axially symmetrical, toroidal analyzer. ... The energy range for both types of charged particles must stepped according to the logarithmic scale. ...

Next: Electronic database Up: A Database of Optical Previous: A Database of Optical . ... Many new observational data have been measured in the last years, e.g. by the Infrared Space Observatory in 1995-1998, and interpretation of these spectroscopic data is still in progress. This requires the comparison with data of ``analog materials'' delivered by spectroscopical laboratories. Various terrestrial analogs of cosmic solids have been studied in chemical and physical laboratories. ...

... An estimate the rotation period of cometary nuclei is important for understanding and describing the physical processes of the cometary activity. Unfortunately, the measurements of the rotation periods of the comet nucleus depend on the model assumptions and it is one of the main reasons for the scatter of the estimates given in various articles for a given comet. ... Right: the image of the comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 obtained at the 6-m telescope. ...

... IC443 is thought to have been formed between 30,000 and 35,000 years ago, and most likely is the remains of the pulsar, G189.6+3.3. Located about 5,000 light years away, the pulsar’s X-ray emissions excite the material of the nebula, causing the chemical components to emit light in their characteristic wavelengths. ...
