... The low energy plasma composition spectrometer AMEI-2 is built to be able to find in the low energy range of the phase space (E, q, j) and separate the fluxes of the major ion species in the magnetotail - H+, He++, He+ and O+, and analyse their energy and angular distributions. ... Electrostatic angular scanning in one direction and the use of the spin of the satellite to sample the other angle give the ability to measure 2-D distributions for each ion specie several times per spin. ...

Maxim KAZARYAN (Steklov Institute and IUM, Moscow): Hodge integrals and the tautological ring of the moduli space of curves . The cohomology ring of the (compactified) moduli spaces of algebraic curves has extremely complicated structure and there is no hope to get its complete description. It happens, however, that cohomology classes which are interesting from the point of view of applications form a relatively small subring of the whole cohomology ring and its description is much simpler. ...

... He made observations of a supernova (literally: nova= "new star") in 1572 (we now know that a supernova is an exploding star, not a new star). ... Brahe's meticulous observations showed that the supernova did not change positions with respect to the other stars (no parallax). ... This was early evidence against the immutable nature of the heavens, although Brahe did not interpret the absence of parallax for stars correctly, as we discuss below. Brahe made careful observations of a comet in 1577. ...
