We present an XMM-Newton observation of the eclipsing binary Algol which contains an X-ray dark B8V primary and an X-ray bright K2IV secondary. The observation covered the optical secondary eclipse and captured an X-ray flare that was eclipsed by the B star. The EPIC and RGS spectra of Algol in its quiescent state are described by a two-temperature plasma model. The cool component has a tempera...

Sensitive radio observations of the 1997 September 24 EIT wave show its velocity to be 830 km s−1. The wave first appears a short distance from the flare site, and its trajectory projects back to the flare site at the peak of the impulsive phase. The radio spectrum appears to be consistent with optically thin coronal emission rather than chromospheric emission. The observed radio brightness tem...

We analyse the coronal elemental abundances during a small flare using Hinode/EIS observations. Compared to pre-flare abundances, we observed strong increase in abundance of Ca XIV 193.84 {\AA}, an emission line with low first ionisation potential (FIP < 10 eV), as quantified by ratio Ca/Ar flare. This is contrast unchanged Si X 258.38 {\AA}/S 264.23 {\AA}. propose two different mechanisms expl...

A flare of OH maser emission was discovered in W75N in 2000. Its location was determined with the VLBA to be within 110 au from one of the ultra-compact H II regions, VLA2. The flare consisted of several maser spots. Four of the spots were found to form Zeeman pairs, all of them with a magnetic field strength of about 40 mG. This is the highest ever magnetic field strength found in OH masers , ...

We have examined the possible construction of a stationary, spherically symmetric and spatially inhomogeneous wormhole spacetime supported by the phantom energy. The later is supposed to be represented by the modified Chaplygin gas equation of state. The solutions so obtained satisfy the flare out and the asymptotic flatness conditions. It is also shown that the averaged null energy condition h...

A mathematical model, numerical algorithm and program code for simulation thermal changes in permafrost as a result of operation of a horizontal flare system in northern oil and gas field are presented. In the model the most significant climatic and physical factors are taken into account such as solar radiation, determined by specific geographical location, heterogeneous structure of frozen so...
