Experimental rocket R-1A . To mature mass and operating characteristics of rocket R-1, its designers proposed to use an integral fuel tank and a warhead separated from the rocket at the ascent phase completion. In this case, only the ascent phase appeared to be rated for the launch vehicle and considerably more favorable regarding mechanical and thermal loads as compared to the atmospheric portion of the descent phase of the flight trajectory. ...

Next: Basic principles of Up: Time Series Analysis Previous: Time Series Analysis . In spite of enormous amounts of existing software and literature on time series analysis (TSA), only comparatively little work has been done concerning those time series which are most often encountered in astronomy, namely unevenly sampled series. Hence, our first reason for yet another TSA package is to provide tools to handle such series. ... A summary of the commands and their syntaxes is listed in Sect. ...

Seven months ago, on Mar 19, 2008, at 09:12 Moscow time, a new star appeared on the sky. The Sun had already risen over the Russia, but people of the Western hemisphere might be able to see by their eyes a faint starlet near one of Bootes constellation stars. This starlet appeared and faded by an order of magnitude in a minute. Astronomers named it GRB080319B or, informally, the Naked-Eye Burst, as it was twice as bright as human eye can see a star. ...

REPORT ON THE PIERRE DELIGNE FELLOWSHIP, 2011 SERGEY OBLEZIN During 2011 I have been working on developing a representation theory approach to mirror symmetry and quantum cohomology of homogeneous spaces, associated with Lie groups of classical type. According to Givental the glN -Whittaker functions, being solutions to the quantum cohomology D-module QH (FlN ) of the complete flag variety FlN = GLN (C)/B , describe the corresponding equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants of FlN . ...
