Kurth, Cassini RPWS Team, University of Iowa). ... We investigate the formation of zebra-like fine spectral structures (consisting of several parallel bands in the dynamic spectrum) in the Jovian broadband kilometric radiation; such radio bursts were observed by Cassini in 2000/2001. ...

We cannot observe the way the distant universe accelerates cosmic rays or produces energetic photons, but acceleration processes also occur on our Sun , though on a much more moderate scale. ... That is why such events are often missed by cosmic ray detectors near the equator, where the lowest energies are excluded by the Earth's magnetic field. The best detectors for observing solar particles are therefore those sensitive to the lowest energies of the cosmic radiation. ...

... Authors: Mario Livio It is assumed that the acceleration and collimation mechanisms of jets are the same in all the classes of astrophysical objects which are observed to produce jets. These classes now include such objects as: active galactic nuclei, young stellar objects, massive x-ray binaries, low mass x-ray binaries, black hole x-ray transients, symbiotic systems, planetary nebulae, and supersoft x-ray sources. ... huizinga@stsci.edu . ...

... A Hubble diagram for Quasars . ... The potential use of such relation as a cosmological probe is obvious: assuming no redshift evolution of the relation, the observed X-ray flux is a function of the observed UV flux, the redshift, and the parameters of the adopted cosmological model. ... In this framework, Guido Risaliti and Elisabeta Lusso (INAF-Arcetri Observatory) have recently published in the Astropysical Journal the first Hubble Diagram for quasars suitable for cosmological measurements . ...

However, molecular emission features are only very rarely observed in the optical spectra of PPNe. ... On the other hand, it is well known that cometary nuclei spectra show prominent Swan band emission. In both spectra of IRAS04296 we have discovered strong emission in the (0;0) and (0;1) bands of the Swan system of the molecule. ... Now consider the case of IRAS04296. ...
