In Search For Hidden Carbon

04/21/2023 - 12:00

Research

A new information system Uglerod-E developed at IKI will be used to monitor carbon ("uglerod" is Russian for "carbon") in the forests and other ecosystems.
Bright, Energetic, and Puzzling

03/28/2023 - 21:00

Research

Russian Mikhail Pavlinsky ART-XC X-ray telescope onboard Spektr-RG observatory (Roscosmos) and Russian KONUS instrument onboard WIND spacecraft (NASA), residing in two opposite Lagrange points L1 and L2, have provided a detailed study of GRB 221009A — the brightest of all gamma-ray bursts previously registered by Konus and most likely the brightest one in the whole history of mankind.
Carbon Deposits Volume in the Forests of Russia Estimated

02/03/2023 - 10:00

Research

To get the values, researchers used Earth remote sensing data, selected ground-based observations, and models.
Spektr-RG In a Round Dance

Spektr-RG, James Webb Space Telescope, and Gaia space observatories circle around L2 point. Animations by Natan Eismon and Maxim Pupkov from the Department of Space Dynamics and Mathematical Information Processing.
Coma Cluster in X-Rays and Radio

12/16/2022 - 09:16

Research

Astrophysicists from IKI and Ioffe Institute, using the data from SRG/eROSITA space telescope, studied the properties of a shock in Coma cluster of galaxies. The paper summarising their results was accepted for publication in Astronomy&Astrophysics.
Eight Exoplanet Candidates Discovered By Russian Robotic Telescope System

12/05/2022 - 12:42

Research

These are the results of the project "Theoretical and experimental studies of extrasolar planetary systems' formation and evolution and parameters of exoplanets", currently under implementation.
Shock Waves Can Explain Why Solar Wind Is Not That Cold In the Distant Solar System

11/24/2022 - 14:42

Research

IKI researchers suggested the mechanism, which can explain unexpected heating of solar wind at large distances from the Sun. Results of the study, which was supported by Russian Science Foundation, are published in Astronomy& Astrophysics.
Volcanic Eruption From the Past

11/11/2022 - 10:45

Research

For the first time, the motion dynamics of an eruptive cloud, which formed during the catastrophic eruption of the Sheveluch volcano on November 11, 1964 (Volcanic Explosivity Index 4+), was reconstructed thanks to modern data processing methods and the databases of meteorological data.
Getting grips on a strongly magnetized neutron star geometry

10/28/2022 - 12:11

Research

Researchers from the Space Research Institute and their colleagues determined geometrical parameters of a neutron star floating in the Galaxy 21,000 light years away. The finding confirms old ideas that this star precesses like a whirligig. The results were published in Nature Astronomy.
Сачок для гамма-всплесков

10/14/2022 - 11:26

Исследования

9 октября 2022 года произошел один из самых ярких гамма-всплесков за всю историю их наблюдений. Он не попал в поле зрения телескопа ART-XC им. М.Н. Павлинского, но именно благодаря этому удалось надежно измерить кривую его блеска в жестком рентгеновском — мягком гамма-диапазонах. Как же это получилось?
