... We present a new method of the ionospheric irregularity investigation based on using of temporal structure function of the phase of the vertical sounding signal. ... Theoretical relation between structure functions of the phase variations and the irregularities can be obtained in the framework of a simple model of frozen irregularity horizontal drift. ... structure function ?? ... The irregularity structure function can be easily calculated if the irregularity spatial spectrum is known. ... Figure 1...

... Maps of six sources (0420+022, 0420-014, 1308+326, 1345+125, 1803+784, and DA 193) obtained with milliarcsecond resolution are presented and discussed, together with their broadband (1­22 GHz) spectra obtained on the RATAN­600 radio telescope at epochs close to those of the VLBI observations. ... The image (Fig. 5) shows that the source structure at 18 cm is compact, consisting of a VLBI core and two jet components, with the outer component lying 5 mas (30 pc) to the northwest of the core ( = 54 ). ...

The Russian Parliament will soon consider a bill that would restructure the Russian space program, 35 years after the launch оf Sputnik. ... But the legislation's most striking and controversial feature is a provision that would ban testing and deployment оf space weapons ? including anti-satellite weapons and space-based missile interceptors. ... A draft bill was written by a group of experts within the Moscow Space Club, several of whom now work on space issues with the Russian Parliament. ...

... Under certain conditions, like those in the nucleus of a QSO, all atoms can be made to emit light at particular wavelengths. ... If that source is approaching the observer, the wave is squashed up onto itself making the wavelength shorter. ... This is redshift. ... You can see how the section of the QSO spectrum which we observe changes with redshift. ... We then see how far we had to slide the observed spectrum along the scale to make it match and that is the objects redshift. ... The 2QZ team . ...
