high-energy astrophysics

On 1 March 2023 Academician Rashid A. Sunyaev, one of the world renowned astrophysicists, celebrates its 80th birthday. He is famous for many results, which have entered modern textbooks for theoretical astrophysics and cosmology all over the world.

On the eve of the day of Russian science, Russian Academy of Sciences awarded the winners of the 2021 competition for RAS awards for young scientists and students. Among them are IKI astrophysicicts Andrei Semena, Ilya Mereminsky, Igor Zaznobin.

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.

Twenty years ago on October 17, 202, the INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory, or INTEGRAL, soared into space from Baikonur onboard Proton launcher.

Sometimes the fact that one did not see something makes a difference. A recent paper published by Spektr-RG science team describes a gamma-ray burst (GRB), which Spektr-RG instruments had not observed, however strange it may seem,..

Our best wishes to Academician Marat Gilfanov, chief researcher of the High-Energy Astrophysics Department, for his 60th birthday!

As of June 12, 2022 Mikhail Pavlinsky ART-XC X-ray telescope onboard SRG observatory has studied more than one quarter of Galactic plane, which is the wealthiest region of X-ray sky, mostly in the Northern hemisphere and continues to scan it in the Southern.
