Lisnyky observatory of A&SPD is located in the village of Lisnyky in Kyiv region. AZT-8 (right) Diameter 0.7 m, Newton, Cassegren. ... Spiral jets of comet Hale-Bopp have been observing on the 3-rd of April, 1997 with 70-cm reflector and image intensifier, time of exposure: 1 second, field of vision: 1.5 minute of arc. This color image was obtained with Fuji color film (Super Plus 400) in focal plane of the 70-cm reflector (F = 27 m) at Lisniki Observatory by A.M.Evtushevsky. ...

. The elementary methods (that is, the use of real analysis vs. complex analysis) have a long history from Chebyshev to modern times. They lead to great achievements, due to Erdos, Selberg, Bombieri, etc. I recently started a thorough study of these methods, in order to understand their scope. In the talk, I will give a quick survey of this field, and some new observations. Go to the Laboratoire Poncelet home page. Site design by Paul Zinn-Justin

... Technique of supervision of solar atmosphere active formations with the Multichannel Flare Spectrograph. Consider in details now a method of observations of fast processes in solar chromosphere with Multichannel Flare Spectrograph (MFS) installed in Ondrejov Observatory (Czech Republic). ... The working spectral range lies between IR CaII 8542 A and K CaII 3870 A. To observe solar image on the spectrograph's slit a lens, narrow-band H-alpha filter (4) ("Daystar") and CCD-chamber are used. ...

My research interests are focussed on the theory and modelling of accretion processes as well as star and planet formation mechanisms. I am particularly interested in the stability properties of accretion discs, the generation of MHD turbulence and associated angular momentum transport, disk - planet interactions and the origin and characteristics of jets and winds from accreting systems . ... These results have been published in Salmeron & Wardle, 2005, M.N.R.A.S., 361: 45-69. ...

... In brief: the frequency-dependent radiative transfer equation is solved for a dust under assumption of spherically-symmetric geometry for its distribution taking into account particle size distribution and quantum heating effects for the very small dust particles. ... Table: Model parameters for IRAS04296+3429. ... parameter . ... hot dust shell) . ... The best fit to the spectral energy distribution of IRAS04296 is shown by heavy solid line (see Table2 for details concerning parameters of the model...

ACCURACY ASSESSMENT OF THE ERP PREDICTION METHOD BASED ON ANALYSIS OF 100-YEAR ERP SERIES Z.M. MALKIN1 , V.M. TISSEN2 1 Pulkovo Observatory, St. Petersburg, Russia e-mail: malkin@gao.spb.ru 2 Siberian Scientific Research Institute of Metrology (SNIIM), Novosibirsk, Russia e-mail: tissen@mail.ksn.ru ABSTRACT. ... CONCLUSIONS The method of ERP prediction developed at SNIIM has been tested by comparison with the USNO results using 671 UT1 predictions for 2006­2011 and 423 PM predictions for 2009­2011. ...

The merging galaxy Arp 220 is the prototypical luminous infrared galaxy. ... In 1996, one of the then largest VLBI experiments was conducted on Arp 220, using the compact OH maser peak as a convenient phase reference. This permitted continuum imaging of the galaxy with high sensitivity, revealing the existence of roughly a dozen unresolved sub-mJy point sources scattered across the nuclear region of the galaxy. ... The nuclear region of Arp 220 imaged with continuum VLBI at 18 cm. ...

The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ) . ... Before jumping into all the finer details of teh survey, a brief non-astronomer's guide to redshift surveys is available. ... The primary scientific aims of the QSO survey are: (1) to obtain the primordial fluctuation power spectrum out to COBE scales, (2) to determine the rate of QSO cl
