A long Chandra observation of Tycho has revealed a pattern of X-ray "stripes" never seen before in a supernova remnant. The stripes are seen in the high-energy X-rays (blue) that also show the blast wave, a shell of extremely energetic electrons. ... The stripes may provide the first direct evidence that a cosmic event can accelerate particles to energies a hundred times higher than achieved by the most powerful particle accelerator on Earth. ...

. The elementary methods (that is, the use of real analysis vs. complex analysis) have a long history from Chebyshev to modern times. They lead to great achievements, due to Erdos, Selberg, Bombieri, etc. I recently started a thorough study of these methods, in order to understand their scope. In the talk, I will give a quick survey of this field, and some new observations. Go to the Laboratoire Poncelet home page. Site design by Paul Zinn-Justin

... Particle Sizes in Saturn's Rings . ... Explanation: What size particles compose Saturn's rings? ... The experiment was sensitive to ring particle sizes because ring particles much larger than a broadcast radio wavelength will reflect those radio waves away. ... The white center of Saturn's B-ring indicates that the density of ring particles was too high to make a good determination. Other radio observations indicate that some ring particles can be as large as several meters across. ...
