... Programme . ... Abstract: Chandra data taken as part of the Very Large Program (VLP) show that the X-ray spectrum in Centaurus A's jet steepens with increasing distance from the jet axis. ... Electrons with sufficient energy to emit synchrotron X-rays must be accelerated locally to the knots, since their energy loss timescale is short compared with any dynamical timescale associated with fluid motion. ...

... The analysis shows, that asteroid ­ rubble pile loses its fast fragments in no time but the retaining fragments forms a compact structure immersed in dust ­ gas atmosphere, created by interaction of interplanetary medium with dispersed product of collisional evolution of asteroid. By interaction of an asteroid ­ rubble pile with interplanetary medium structures asteroid can increase its brightness on account of blowed up dust simulating phenomenon of distant comet's brightening. ...

Dwarf novae are a subclass of cataclysmic variable stars in which a late-type secondary fills its Roche lobe and transfers mass to a white dwarf primary via an accretion disc. ... Those spiral structures are very similar to the spiral shocks discovered by Sawada, Matsuda & Hachisu (1986) in 2D finite difference numerical simulations in accretion discs. In this poster, we want to compare 2D numerical simulations of accretion disc with the observations of SH2 . ...

. Dark matter forms the foundation for all cosmic structure, and its annihilation, decay, or other particle interactions have the potential to affect early structure formation by injecting energy into local gas. I will discuss the status of the quest to identify dark matter, major unsolved problems relevant to the abundance and structure of dark matter halos, and how dark matter annihilation energy can affect the binding of gas within the earliest cosmic structures.
