... Team . ... GRB mini-workshop 2006 . ... On April 8, 2005, an optical afterglow of the GRB 050408 was discovered with the SAO's telescopes (the 1-meter telescope Zeiss and 6-meter telescope BTA) within the framework of a joint BTA request (SAO RAS + IAA CSIC, Granada, Spain) on optical identification of gamma-ray bursts. We first detected a variable object only by our own data in the localization error-box reported by the space observatory HETE and then it was confirmed by our observations in SAO. ...

... The SN 1998bv discovered on April 6, 1998 in the blue compact galaxy HS 1035+4758 is the second supernova observed in a low-mass galaxy with intense SF burst. ... According to its characteristic spectrum, SN 1998bv is a type II supernova with estimated peak absolute brightness M 16.3. The very slow fading of its brightness suggests that the SN was discovered at the Plateau phase, 20-30 days after the peak of the light curve. The most probable classification of SN 1998bv is regular SN II-P. 3. ...

... The International Year of Astronomy (IYA2009) will be a global celebration of astronomy and its contributions to society and culture, highlighted by the 400th anniversary of the first use of an astronomical telescope by Galileo Galilei. The aim of the IYA is to stimulate worldwide interest, especially among young people, in astronomy and science under the central theme "The Universe, Yours to Discover." ... Discover the universe with a telescope similar to the one Galileo used 400 years ago. ...

Born in the UK, and following degrees at the Univerities of Bristol and Sussex, Martin Elvis got his PhD under Prof. Ken Pounds at the University of Leicester (UK) in 1978 for work with the Ariel V satellite. Ariel V was only the 2nd satellite to be devoted to X-ray astronomy. ... His PhD thesis demonstrated that powerful X-ray emission was a normal feature of Active Galactic Nuclei (or "AGN"). AGN X-ray emission has been a lively area of research ever since. ...

A team of U.S. and German astrophysicists have made the first ever detection of X-rays coming from a comet. ... Following the initial detection, the team reported repeated X-ray emissions from the comet over the next 24 hours. ... One preliminary theory is that X-ray emission from the Sun was absorbed by a cloud of gaseous water molecules surrounding the nucleus of the comet, and then were re-emitted by the molecules in a process physicists call "fluorescence." ...

... Most of the spirals discussed in the following are well-known starburst galaxies (M 82, NGC 253, etc.) In addition to their nuclear activity, which makes them so popular, the selected galaxies have several other phenomena in common, such as bars, gas outflow, and possibly nuclear rings. ... I compare the group of nearby starburst galaxies with distant ultra-luminous galaxies (Arp 220, NGC 6240, etc.), in which strong tidal interactions cause the radial gas inflow. ...
