Broadband multi-wavelength properties of M87 during the 2017 Event Horizon Telescope campaign
In 2017, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration succeeded in capturing the first direct image of the center of the M87 galaxy. The asymmetric ring morphology and size are consistent with theoretical expectations for a weakly accreting ...

Turbulent parameters at different heights in the atmosphere. Shack–Hartmann wavefront sensor data
The paper presents the results of studies of wavefront distortions at different heights in the atmosphere. We have used measurement wavefront data to determine optical turbulence parameters along the line of sight of the Large Solar Vacuum Telescope ...

The effect of proton damage on the X-ray spectral response of MOS CCDs for the swift X-ray telescope [PDF]
The effect of non-ionising energy loss(NIEL) of protons in charge-coupled devices is to displace silicon atoms and any dopant materials present from their lattice positions to form lattice defects which in turn can trap electrons [1].

Receiving vectors of muon telescope of cosmic ray station Novosibirsk
The method of receiving vectors allows us to determine cosmic ray anisotropy at every moment of time. Also, the method makes it possible to study fast anisotropy fluctuations related to the interplanetary medium dynamics.

IMF dependence of the open-closed field line boundary in Saturn's ionosphere, and its relation to the UV auroral oval observed by the Hubble Space Telescope [PDF]
We study the dependence of Saturn's magnetospheric magnetic field structure on the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), together with the corresponding variations of the open-closed field line boundary in the ionosphere.

Wishing for the Watch Face in Jonathan Swift’s “The Progress of Beauty”
This article illuminates the technological underpinnings of Jonathan Swift’s satire, “The Progress of Beauty” (1719), by exploring how eighteenth-century poetics of beauty and scientific progress pit human against automaton.
