... The department was founded in late sixties by Prof. D.Ya.Martynov, who for many years was also the director of Sternberg Astronomical Institute. At present time, the head of the department is Prof. A.M.Cherepashchuk, a pupil of D.Ya.Martynov and his successor as the director of SAI. Since Prof. Martynov, the scientific activity of the department was primarily related to binary stars. ... The department consists of 15 members most of which have Ph.D. in Astrophysics. ...

Transportation from/to airports will be provided between San Juan airport (SJU) and the hotels/observatory. Those who wish to use Aguadilla airport (BQN) will need to arrange for their own transportation to/from the observatory or the hotel they are staying in. Daily transportation between the hotels and the observatory will be provided to all participants staying in the hotels. ...

Amanda Karakas One of the most important research fields in astrophysics is the study of the origin of the elements. ... Asymptotic Giant Blanch (AGB) Stars: For low and intermediate-mass stars (with initial masses between about 0.8 to 8 solar masses) the most important nucleosynthesis occurs when stars evolve off the main sequence to the giant branches. ... This indicates that these stars obtained their unusual abundances via mass transfer from a previous red giant star, that has long evolved away. ...

Astronomers Jonathan Horner and Wyn Evans , at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and Mark Bailey and David Asher , at the Armagh Observatory, have provided new insight into the links between comets and asteroids in the outer solar system and their dynamical evolution. These bodies, many of which have diameters greater than 100 km, are called "Centaurs" because of their "half-comet, half-asteroid" status. ... In either case, the Centaurs give clues to the origin of the planetary system. ...

Since 1994, the Astronomical Society of the Pacific's (ASP) highly successful national Project ASTRO? program has been providing opportunities for professional and amateur astronomers to contribute to science education in their local communities. ... The original "classic" Project ASTRO educator-astronomer partners found tremendous interest in what they were doing among the families of their students, and thus Family ASTRO was born to continue at home what was begun in the classroom. ...

This process is thought to occur in circumstellar disks of gas and dust around young stars on rather short timescales : infrared surveys show that the number of low mass stars with disks drops dramatically for stars older than 10 Myr, suggesting that in order to form large solids before the disk disperses, the growth process has to take place within a few million years. ...
