... 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 . ...

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 . ...

Программа GRAIL предполагала запуск двух одинаковых зондов (GRAIL-A и GRAIL-B) на параллельные орбиты вокруг Луны на высоте около 55 километров. ... Зонд GRAIL-A вышел на селеноцентрическую орбиту 31 декабря 2011 года в 21:21 UTC (1 января 2012 года в 01:21 мск), 1 января 2012 года в 22:44 UTC (2 января в 02:44 мск) на селеноцентрическую орбиту вышел зонд GRAIL-B. 13 декабря 2012 года . ...

Vertical Structure of the Galactic Disk in the Solar Neighborhood . ... It was found that the Sun lies 9?2 pc above the plane of hte Galactic disk in the direction of North Galactic pole and that F0-F9 stars contribute 0.0035M /pc 3 to the density of the Galactic disk. ... THE DENSITY OF F STARS IN THE PLANE OF THE DISK љљљљљSince our sample is comlete to within 50 , the Z obs distributions shown in Fig.2 make it possible to determine the number of F stars per unit volume of the Galactic disk. ...

Russian SHAREABLE DATA CENTER Institute of Solar-Terrestial Physics SB RAS . ... A most promising problem is to investigate the interaction of two VHF powerful radiowave beams in the ionosphere, whose difference frequency is equal to the plasma frequency in some ionospheric area (that is, the difference frequency is taken in the range 1-8 MHz). ... Two-frequency interaction effects are based on radiowave non-linear mixing, which is rather complicated when describing and modelling the experiment. ...
