Some Similarities and Differences Between the Mars and Venus Solar Wind Interactions
Trotignon, Jean-Gabriel
The plasma environments of Mars and Venus have been explored by spacecraft, such as Mars 2, 3 and 5, Phobos 2, Mars Global Surveyor (MGS), Mars Express for planet Mars and Venera 9 and 10, Pioneer Venus Orbiter, Venus Express for planet Venus. Overall observations of plasma regions and their boundaries, in particular the bow shock, the magnetic pi…
The Moon's SMART bomb
Powell, David
Europe's SMART-1 probe is about to crash into the lunar surface in a kamikaze mission of discovery. The author examines what this impact will unearth about lunar history.

Starbursts at space ultraviolet wavelengths
González Delgado, Rosa M.
Starbursts are systems with very high star formation rate per unit area. They are the preferred place where massive stars form; the main source of thermal and mechanical heating in the interstellar medium, and the factory where the heavy elements form. Thus, starbursts play an important role in the origin and evolution of galaxies. The similaritie…
Two years of INTEGRAL result on X-ray binaries
Ubertini, P.; ISWT Survey Team
INTEGRAL is the ESA lead International Gamma-Ray Astrophysical Laboratory, successfully launched the 17th October 2002 from Baikonur with a Proton vehicle. In view of the high sensitivity of the two γ-ray instruments IBIS and SPI and their capability to provide at the same time image, spectra and time profiles of all the sources in their wide fiel…

Near-infrared integral-field spectroscopy of violent starburst environments
de Grijs, Richard
Near-infrared (NIR) integral-field spectroscopy (IFS) of violent starburst environments at high spatial (and spectral) resolution has the potential to revolutionise our ideas regarding the local interactions between the newly formed massive stars and the interstellar medium (ISM) of their host galaxies. To illustrate this point, I present NIR IFS …
Further Study of Multiple Flux Rope Events at the Magnetopause Observed by TC-1 on 18 March, 2004
Pu, Zu-Yin; Xiao, Chi-Jie; Liu, Zhen-Xing +3 more
From 23:10 to 23:50 UT on 18 March 2004, the Double Star TC-1 spacecraft detected nine flux ropes at the outbound crossing of the southern dawnside magnetopause. During this time period the Cluster constellation was staying in the magnetosheath. The four spacecraft observed that the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) showed a dominant negative BY…
Late-type X-ray Emitting Binaries in the Solar Neighborhood and in Star Forming Regions
Alcalá, Juan M.; Covino, Elvira; Frasca, Antonio +3 more
We present a spectroscopic and photometric follow-up of binary stars, discovered in a sample of X-ray sources, aimed at a deep characterization of the stellar X-ray population in the solar neighborhood and in Star Forming Regions (SFRs). The sources have been selected from the RasTyc sample, obtained by the cross-correlation between the ROSAT all-…
