Research projects

1. Observations of radiopulsars and location error boxes of Gamma Ray Bursts in optics and IR by BTA telescope of SAO RAS and its interpretation.

(in collaboration with SAO RAS)
Principal Investigator - V.Kurt.
2. Gamma Ray Bursts. Analysis of the Burst And Transient Sources Experiment (BATSE) data.

(in collaboration with colleagues from theoretical department of ASC)
Principal Investigator - Ya.Tikhomirova.
See new GRBs catalog here.

3. "Submillimetron" project. Creation of cryogenic 0.6-meter diameter telescope for astronomical submillimeter observations onboard international cosmic station "Alpha".

(in collaboration with the space construction department of ASC, cryogenic department of LPI and "Energy" RSC.
Principal Investigator - V.Gromov.
4. The part of "Millimetron" project: Creation of the space apparatus for cryogenic 12-meter diameter telescope for astronomical in millimeter and submillimeter observations (radiometry with superhigh flux density sensitivity and interferometry with superhigh angle resolution: satellite - Earth, satellite - satellite).

Principal Investigator - N.Kardashev.
5. The comparative error analysis of observations of the stars with envelops with optical longbase interferometry and spatially unresolved spectroscopy. Analytical and numerical methods of the radiative transfer theory and solution of statistical equilibrium equations.

Principal Investigator - M.Burgin.
