... APT Activities and Science Results 3. ... APT Secretary Philip Edwards (ISAS) reviewed the aims of the APT (http://www.vsop.isas.ac.jp/apt/DefinitionAndAims.html). ... The Australia Telescope Compact Array, and Ceduna, Hartebeesthoek, Kashima, Mopra, Parkes, and Shanghai telescopes of the Asia-Pacific Telescope participated in these observations. ... In the absence of Tetsuo Sasao, Philip Edwards briefly described results of the APT 22 GHz observations conducted from October 1st to 5th, 1997. ...

... We show that broadband energy spectra of GRS 1915+105 during all these spectral states can be adequately presented by two bulk motion Comptonization (BMC) components: a hard component (BMC1, photon index 1 = 1.7­3.0) with turnover at high energies and soft thermal component (BMC2, 2 = 2.7­4.2) with characteristic color temperature 1 keV, and the redskewed iron-line (LAOR) component. We also present observable correlations between the index and the normalization of the disk "seed" component. ...

... Квазар 3C273, открытый еще в 1963 году, загадал новую загадку астрономам - наблюдения за ним с помощью телескопа 'Радиоастрон' показали, что он имеет эффективную температуру от 10 до 40 триллионов градусов, и это примерно в 10 раз выше значений, которые допускает теория, говорится в статье , опубликованной в ведущем научном журнале Astrophysical Journal Letters. ... Высокое разрешение 'Радиоастрона' позволило ученым с помощью квазара 3C273 получить 'рентгеновский снимок' нашей собственной Галактики....

... The author attempts to approach the problem from the positions of systems analysis with account for the ideological grounds and history of space activities in Russia and abroad, comparing its current interpretation with the initial goals posed by leading theoreticians and practitioners who stood at the cradle of the space exploration era. ... The space systems recognized in Russia as priority projects are largely developed with violations of the systems approach principles. ...
