Pulkovo NEO Page . ... EPOS Software Package . ... EPOS ( E phemeris P rogram for O bjects of the S olar system) is the Windows PC application for study and ephemeris support of observations of the Solar system objects. ... It controls the part of common data and transfers the control to one of the programs that solve the restricted set of tasks. ... So with the EPOS software package one can calculate the accurate ephemerides for many objects and get the quick illustration of their motion as well. ...

An astronomer by training, I currently work at the Australia Telescope National Facility , part of the CSIRO .

... Research objects and scientific purposes . Space scientific program includes development and launch of two supersmall spacecrafts "Universitetskiy" and "Kompas-2" intended for monitoring of radiation conditions near the Earth. ... All the studies conducted in the near-Earth space are characterised by strong radiation fields. ... The circular polar orbits, which cover all the near-Earth space, are the most favorable for comprehensive studies of the radiation conditions near the Earth. ...

... The March 20 total solar eclipse was visible over the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. ... Solar eclipses are of interest for radio astronomy, as they make it possible to observe individual details on the solar disc (spots, filaments, flocculi, etc.) ... On March 20, 2015 the integrated observations of the solar eclipse were carried out at the RATAN-600 radio telescope at 70 wavelengths simultaneously in the range of 1.65cm to 10cm with the 1% frequency resolution. ...

... Activities | ... Collaborations | ... The main objective of laboratory #235 is development of imaging array detectors for different applications (including radio-astronomy, safety and security systems). We develop ultra-sensitive detectors (bolometers) and detector arrays, planar antennas and tuning circuits, refractive and reflective quasi-optical systems focusing millimeter and sub-millimeter wave irradiation on the detectors. ...

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 . ...
