On November 23, at 10 a.m., we have a double lecture, where Prof. Jürgen Schmitt of the Hamburg Observatory will present a talk "eROSITA - A new all-sky survey in X-rays", and Dr. Alexei Pozanenko of the Space Research Institute (Russia) will talk about gamma-ray bursts and their relation to gravitational waves.

The NUTTelA-TAO project is a collaboration between Energetic Cosmos Laboratory (Nazarbayev University), Space Sciences Laboratory (University of California, Berkeley), and FAPHI. The project aims at studying astrophysical events related to optical counterparts of gamma-ray bursts and other processes requiring fast response for their investigation. The original design of the telescope allows to start observations of an object ...

In summer of 2018 from the territory of Kazakhstan one might observe full lunar eclipse (July, 27/28) and partial solar eclipse (August, 11). We provide here the exact timetables for these eclipses calculated for the cities of Kazakhstan.

On July, 10 at 11 a.m. we have a seminar by Yerlan Aimuratov (junior researcher at FAPHI and PhD-student at the Sapienza University of Rome), who will talk about the production of GeV-energy photons in gamma-ray bursts.
