Introduction. Progress in astronomy: from gravitational waves to space weather.
This brief paper introduces and reviews the 'visions of the future' articles prepared by leading young scientists throughout the world for the first of two Christmas 2008 Triennial issues of Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A, devoted, respectively, to astronomy and Earth science. Contributions in astronomy include the very topical gamma-ray bursts, new ideas on stellar collapse and the unusual atmospheres...
متن کاملAstronomy, Astrophysics & Space Physics in Greece
In the present document I review the current organizational structure of Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Physics in Greece. I briefly present the institutions where professional astronomers are pursuing research, along with some notes of their history, as well as the major astronomical facilities currently available within Greece. I touch upon topics related to graduate studies in Greece and ...
متن کاملAstronomy from Antarctica
Astronomers have always sought the very best locations for their telescopes. From observatories in city centres, astronomers moved first to nearby mountain tops, then to remote sites in distant countries, to aircraft, and into space. In the past decade we have come to realise that the best astronomical observing conditions on the surface of the earth are to be found on the Antarctic plateau. Th...
متن کاملAstronomy and Astrophysics from Antarctica
The Antarctic plateau is a new frontier for astronomy, offering superior observing conditions to those of any other groundbased site across most of the electromagnetic spectrum. The established inland Antarctic stations of Amundsen-Scott and Vostok are now being joined by new stations at Dome A, Dome C and Dome F. Plans to deploy large telescopes are already well advanced, and within a decade s...
متن کاملNew constraints on space-time Planck scale fluctuations from established high energy astronomy observations
The space-time metric is widely believed to be subject to stochastic fluctuations induced by quantum gravity at the Planck scale. This work is based on two different phenomenological approaches being currently made to this topic, and theoretical models which describe this phenomenon are not dealt with here. By using the idea developed in one of these two approaches in the framework of the other...
