چکیده
Maxwell’s investigations into the stability of Saturn’s rings provide one of the earliest analyses of the dynamics of astrophysical discs. Current research in planetary rings extends Maxwell’s kinetic theory to treat dense granular gases of particles undergoing moderately frequent inelastic collisions. Rather than disrupting the rings, local instabilities may be responsible for generating their irregular radial structure. Accretion discs around black holes or compact stars consist of a plasma permeated by a tangled magnetic field and may be compared with laboratory fluids through an analogy that connects Maxwell’s researches in electromagnetism and viscoelasticity. A common theme in this work is the appearance of a complex fluid with a dynamical constitutive equation relating the stress in the medium to the history of its deformation.

We present visible and near-infrared reflectance spectra and interpreted surface mineralogy for asteroid 10537 (1991 RY16). The spectrum of this object is without precedent amongst the Main Belt asteroids. A unique absorption band centered at 0.63 microns could be attributed to one of several mineralogies. Pronounced 1and 2-micron absorption bands suggest that the composition of 10537

We are developing a new photon detector with micro pattern gaseous detectors. A semitransparent CsI photocathode is combined with 10cm×10cm GEM/μPIC for the first prototype which is aimed for the large liquid Xe detectors. Using Ar+C2H6 (10%) gas, we achieved the gas gain of 10 which is enough to detect single photoelectron. We, then, irradiated UV photons from a newly developed solid scintilla...
