... Future seminars . P a s t seminars . ... Radiation-driven winds from stars and Active Galactic Nucle" . ... It is now clearly understood that the problem of mass loss is crucially important both from the point of view of it’s influence on the evolution of stars and for the explanation of physical processes and observational data in active galactic nuclei (AGN). ... Absorption of the radiation by continuum opacity is responsible for such an evolutionary significant mass loss in cold massive stars. ...

NASA Mars Orbiter . ... The Mars Global Surveyor mission is designed as a rapid, low-cost recovery of the Mars Observer mission objectives. The science objectives involve high resolution imaging of the surface, studies of the topography and gravity, the role of water and dust on the surface and in the atmosphere of Mars, the weather and climate of Mars, the composition of the surface and atmosphere, and the existence and evolution of the Martian magnetic field. ...

... The author believes that his mission will be completed, if the physical fundamentals of microwave remote sensing, set forth in this book, will help the specialists in various geophysical disciplines ± meteorologists, geophysicists, oceanologists, geologists, soil scientists, geographers ± to understand those new information advantages that are embedded in microwave sensing, and will impel them to be actively engaged in a (fairly dicult) process of assimilation of remote microwave information. ...
