The direct detection of gravitational waves is one of those events long-expected by physicists that are nevertheless a significant occurrence which excites the world scientific community as if something unexpected has happened. ... Many rumors leaked ahead of the conference, and the fact that something (that is, a signal corresponding to gravitational waves) was discovered by LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) was discussed on the sidelines. ... arXiv:1602.03868 . ...

... 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. ...

... Here we briefly summarize our long period experience of constructing and operating wide-field monitoring cameras with sub-second temporal resolution to look for optical components of GRBs, fast-moving satellites and meteors. General requirements for hardware for such systems are discussed along with algorithms of real-time detection and classification of various kinds of short optical transients. ... The wide-field monitoring systems currently in operation, such as WIDGET (Tamagawa et al. ...

The unique object SS 433. ... First before 1978 it was not so interesting, but American and Italian scientists registrated three emission lines system of hydrogen and helium. ... One of its components is a massive star with temperature about 30 thousand Kelvin’s and luminance about million times more then the Sun’s one. ... The SS 433 modern picture includes the giant star with high temperature and luminance as well as its satellite. All the system is cored by plasma as by corona. ...

A descriptor , also commonly called a file handle is an object that a program uses to read or write an open file, or open network socket, or a variety of other devices. ... The operating system enforces a limit on the number of descriptors that a program can have open at a time. ... One is a kernel limitation, depending on your operating system you will either be able to tune the number of descriptors available to higher numbers (this is frequently called FD_SETSIZE ). ...
