Potsdam, Germany (SPX) Mar 11, 2019 - The 4-meter Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope 4MOST will be the largest spectroscopic survey facility of its kind in the Southern hemisphere and address today's most pressing astronomical questions in the fields of galactic archaeology, high-energy astrophysics, galaxy evolution, and cosmology.

With the publication of 13 papers, the consortium introduces 4MOST to the scientific community.

Ann Arbor MI (SPX) Mar 13, 2019 - A fast-moving star may have been ejected from the Milky Way's stellar disk by a cluster of young stars, according to researchers from the University of Michigan who say the star did not originate from the middle of the galaxy, as previously believed by astronomers.

"This discovery dramatically changes our view on the origin of fast-moving stars," said Monica Valluri, a research professor in the Department of Astronomy at U-M's College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. Читать дальше...

Paris (ESA) Mar 07, 2019 - ESA is planning Earth's first dedicated space weather observatory to warn of potentially harmful turbulence in our parent star. Like a referee at a sports game, the Lagrange spacecraft will be able to observe both the Sun and Earth as well as the space in between - but will itself be in the space weather line of fire.

"This will be an operational rather than a scientific mission, meaning it has to keep on working because people will be depending on it," explains ESA space environment specialist Piers Jiggens. Читать дальше...

Barcelona, Spain (SPX) Mar 13, 2019 - Three mathematicians and a physicist from the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (UAB), the Mathematics Research Centre (CRM) and the Barcelona Graduate School of Mathematics (BGSMath) propose a mathematical model which allows making reliable estimations on the probability of geomagnetic storms caused by solar activity.

The researchers, who published the study in the journal Scientific Reports (of the Nature group) in February, calculated the probability... Читать дальше...

Plainsboro NJ (SPX) Mar 13, 2019 - Whether zipping through a star or a fusion device on Earth, the electrically charged particles that make up the fourth state of matter better known as plasma are bound to magnetic field lines like beads on a string.

Unfortunately for plasma physicists who study this phenomenon, the magnetic field lines often lack simple shapes that equations can easily model. Often they twist and knot like pretzels. Sometimes, when the lines become particularly twisted, they snap apart and join back together... Читать дальше...

The change is supposed to make the platform friendlier

Washington (AFP) March 10, 2019 - A text-generating "bot" nicknamed Tobi produced nearly 40,000 news stories about the results of the November 2018 elections in Switzerland for the media giant Tamedia -- in just five minutes.

These kinds of artificial intelligence programs -- available for nearly a decade -- are becoming more widespread as news organizations turn to them to produce stories, personalize news delivery and in some cases sift through data to find important news.
