... Master . Master net Homepage . ... Ten years ago it was realized that robotic observatories boost the capabilities of astronomical observations of non-stationary and short-lived phenomena in the Universe. ... The first Russian robot-telescope MASTER was developed in 2002 and installed nearby Moscow. ... OAO MO "Optica" has mastered the production of such systems. The workshop is devoted to the results achieved by MASTER-net, that recently stretch over the globe from Blagoveshensk to Argentina. ...

The direct detection of gravitational waves is one of those events long-expected by physicists that are nevertheless a significant occurrence which excites the world scientific community as if something unexpected has happened. ... Many rumors leaked ahead of the conference, and the fact that something (that is, a signal corresponding to gravitational waves) was discovered by LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) was discussed on the sidelines. ... arXiv:1602.03868 . ...

Next: Large Scale Clustering in the Universe - A Package of Codes . ... The discovery of a correlation between the light curve shape and intrinsic brightness has made Type Ia supernovae exceptionally accurate distance indicators out to cosmologically interesting redshifts. ... But supernovae are relatively rare events. ... Type Ia supernovae make excellent distance indicators, so these events at high redshift can be used to map out the history of the expanding Universe. ...

... Hypervelocity Stars Ejected from the Galactic Center . ... In his talk, Hypervelocity Stars Ejected from the Galactic Center, Dr. Brown will discuss how the observed velocity and spatial distributions are linked to the ejection mechanism. The hypervelocity stars place quantitative constraints on the types of stars orbiting near the central black hole and the history of stellar interactions with the black hole. ... Apr . ...
