... Future seminars . P a s t seminars . ... Stochastic Particle Acceleration and the Problem of Background Plasma Overheating " . D.O. Chernyshov and V.A. Dogiel (P.N.Lebedev Institute of Physics) . ... It was concluded also from these investigations that it is problematic to produce emitting electrons from a background plasma by stochastic (Fermi) acceleration because the energy supplied by external sources in the form of Fermi acceleration is quickly absorbed by background plasma. ...

... Programme . ... Abstract: Chandra data taken as part of the Very Large Program (VLP) show that the X-ray spectrum in Centaurus A's jet steepens with increasing distance from the jet axis. ... Electrons with sufficient energy to emit synchrotron X-rays must be accelerated locally to the knots, since their energy loss timescale is short compared with any dynamical timescale associated with fluid motion. ...

... Acceleration of particles in the vicinity of a massive black hole We propose a two-step mechanism for charged particle acceleration in the magnetosphere of a massive black hole surrounded by an accretion disk. Particles first gain energy by stochastic process during the accretion phase. It is shown that effective proton acceleration up to energies eV is possible in the turbulent magnetized accretion disk. ...

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. ...

Abstract . A first-generation CMOS Charged Particle Spectrometer chip [1] was designed at JPL for flight on the STRV-2 spacecraft. These devices will collect electron and proton spectra in low Earth orbit as part of an experiment to demonstrate Active Pixel Sensor (APS) technology in space. This paper presents the results of total dose testing on these chips and, where possible, attempts to extend the results to other Active Pixel Sensors. ...

The Yarkovsky Effect in the Motion of NEAs . ... In this paper we evaluate the Yarkovsky effect on the motion of NEAs under the assumption that this acceleration depends on heliocentric distance as 1/r 2 and is characterized by the transverse component 2 in the orbital coordinate system. ... In some instances the Yarkovsky effect can be estimated by using only optical observations. Accounting for the Yarkovsky effect permits to include more optical observations in the orbit fitting process. ...

... To shed new light on these mysteries, we combine the gravitational lensing power of 25 massive galaxy clusters with HST's enhanced panchromatic imaging capabilities (WFC3 and the restored ACS) to test structure formation models with unprecedented precision.
