Astronomers Detect Coolest Radio Star . ... The new radio-star is much smaller and colder than our Sun.€а With a surface temperature not much higher than that of a giant planet, and a size comparable to JupiterтАЩs, it is scarcely visible in optical light.€а Yet the radio flares seen at Arecibo show it must have a strong magnetic field, implying that the same could be true of other similar stars. ...

Maxim KAZARYAN (Steklov Institute and IUM, Moscow): Hodge integrals and the tautological ring of the moduli space of curves . The cohomology ring of the (compactified) moduli spaces of algebraic curves has extremely complicated structure and there is no hope to get its complete description. It happens, however, that cohomology classes which are interesting from the point of view of applications form a relatively small subring of the whole cohomology ring and its description is much simpler. ...
