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. ...

Here we briefly summarize our long period experience of constructing and operating wide-field monitoring cameras with subsecond temporal resolution to look for optical components of GRBs, fast-moving satellites and meteors. ... We also give a status report on the next generation, multiob jective and transforming monitoring system, the MegaTORTORA, whose 6-channel (Mini-MegaTORTORA-Spain) and 9-channel prototypes (Mini-MegaTORTORA-Kazan) we are building now at SAO RAS. ...

... 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. ...

... In electron-positron colliders, effect of the lattice modification by opposing bunch focusing on the equilibrium radiation emittance is important at high values of the space charge parameter, so one should correctly evaluate this dynamic radiation emittance of the weak beam, which may differ a lot from the nominal emittance, already in the linear beam-beam force model. ... The linearized beam-beam force is equivalent to focusing insertion in linear lattice of the collider. ...
