Comets are Nice to Touch
Finzi, A. Ercoli
Rosetta is the third cornerstone mission of the European Space Agency scientific program "Horizon 2000" and it is the first spacecraft to orbit around a comet nucleus and to send a lander on its surface with the aim of studying the real nature of these objects. It was launched in March 2004 and reached the comet 67P/Churymov-Gerasimenko in 2014. I…
Philae mission set for reboot
Banks, Michael
Scientists at the European Space Agency (ESA) are hoping that the Philae lander, which successfully landed on a comet last year, will re-establish contact soon as it travels closer to the Sun.
Philae set for science after waking up from hibernation
Banks, Michael
The European Space Agency's Philae lander has woken up following seven months in hibernation mode.
Rosetta Studies of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko: Prospects for Establishing Cometary Biology

An AKARI infrared study of dust emission in Galactic bubbles indicative of large-scale cloud-cloud collisions
Kaneda, H.; Sano, H.; Ishihara, D. +3 more
We report our systematic study on dust emission in massive star-forming regions indicative of large-scale cloud-cloud collisions, using the AKARI infrared (IR) all-sky survey data at wavelengths of 9, 18, 65, 90, 140, and 160 µm. We focus on the Galactic bubbles catalogued by Spitzer, which are categorized into two types of morphology, close…

The luminosity - spectral index dependence of the X-ray bright Seyfert galaxies
Tugay, A. V.; Sadova, V. A.
X-ray luminosities and spectral indices of 97 bright Seyfert 1 (Sy1) galaxies from the XMM-Newton archive are analysed in this article. Distribution of these values is random, so we conclude that the model of emission should be at least two-parametric. Within the framework of the merging model of active galactic nuclei (AGN), the relation between …
Correlation Analysis between Tibet AS-γ TeV Cosmic Ray and WMAP Nine-year Data
Zhang, Shuang-Nan; Yin, Qian-Qing
The WMAP team subtracted template-based foreground models to produce foreground-reduced maps, and masked point sources and uncertain sky regions directly; however, whether foreground residuals exist in the WMAP foreground-reduced maps is still an open question. Here, we use Pearson correlation coefficient analysis with AS-γ TeV cosmic ray (CR) dat…
