The Russian Virtual Observatory Project Insight
The main principles and approaches of the Russian Virtual Observatory (RVO) Project are described. -
Visualizing and Analyzing Massive Astronomical Datasets with Partiview
Partiview is an advanced, real-time visualization tool for multi-dimensional datasets. Developed at NCSA, Partiview has cross-platform compatibility... -
e-Science and the Grid
Many areas of science involve access to distributed computing and data resources, specialized and expensive instruments for world-wide collaborations... -
The Hamburg/RASS Catalogue of Optical Identifications of ROSAT Bright Source X-Ray Sources
We used digitized Schmidt direct and prism plates taken for the northern hemisphere Hamburg Quasar Survey (HQS) to obtain optical identifications for... -
Optical Diffuse Light in Nearby Compact Groups
Analyses of B and R band observations of four compact groups reveal the presence of a considerable amount of diffuse, intergalactic light in two of... -
Multiwavelength Studies of Microquasar GRS 1915 + 105
The microquasar GRS 1915 + 105 has shown spectacular variability and has been extensively studied in multiwavelengths during last few years. The... -
The Formation of Stellar Clusters in Turbulent Molecular Clouds: Effects of the Equation of State
We study numerically the effect of varying the equation of state (EOS) on the formation of stellar clusters in turbulent molecular clouds. Our... -
Surveys of the Distant Solar System
The rapid development in the 1990’s of surveys for distant Centaurs and Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) is reviewed. With 94 TNOs and 9 Centaurs found... -
Dust Measurements in the Outer Solar System
Dust measurements in the outer solar system are reviewed. Only the plasma wave instrument on board Voyagers 1 and 2 recorded impacts in the... -
Comet Size Distributions and Distant Activity
We present the results of observations of distant comet nuclei as observed with the Keck II telescope during 1997 December. Our sample included 17 SP... -
Ion Irradiation of Minor Bodies in the Outer Solar System
Fluxes of charged particles im**e on matter forming small objects in the outer Solar System during its evolution from (pre)solar grains to... -
Kiso EKBO & Centaur Survey and the Design and Implementation of the Moving Object Detection Engine
We are now carrying out a survey of Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt Objects (EKBOs) and Centaurs using the 1.05-m Schmidt telescope with a 2K CCD camera ( 2048... -
Optical Observations of Trans-Neptunian and Centaur Objects
Trans-Neptunian objects are probably primitive remnants from the early accretional phases of the solar system and may contain the most pristine... -
A Pencil-Beam Search for Distant TNOs at the ESO NTT
We used the image data set obtained during our NTT/EMMI observing campaign of the TNO 1996 TO66 at ESO La Silla (see our paper presented during this... -
Physical Observations of 1996 TO66
TNO 1996 TO66 was observed at the ESO NTT during 7 nights, in two groups of 2 and 5 consecutive nights in August and October 1997 (resp). The... -
Possible Mechanism of Cometary Outbursts
The possibility of transformation of the kinetic energy of high-energy (more than 1 MeV) protons ejected during solar flares into the electrical... -
Future Investigations with New Facilities
At the beginning of the third millenium more than 700 m2 of mirror collecting power at 6-10m class telescopes combined with more than 20... -
Colours of Distant Solar System Bodies
The NTT at La Silla, Chile and NOT on La Palma were used for VRI photometry of 9 Edgeworth-Kuiper objects and 3 Centaurs. For the NOT observations... -
8 Entropy Production of Atmospheric Heat Transport
We examine the rate of entropy produced by the atmospheric general circulation and the hypothesis that it adjusts itself towards a macroscopic state... -
10 Thermodynamics of the Ocean Circulation: A Global Perspective on the Ocean System and Living Systems
In this chapter, we investigate thermodynamics in a global-scale open ocean circulation and discuss the physical properties of “living systems”, that...
