The observational astrophysical group studies a wide variety of sources, including black holes (in binaries, active galaxies, and gamma-ray bursts), the biggest explosions (supernovae, novae, and gamma-ray bursts), and variable stars (R CrB stars, binaries of all types), plus the standard stars on which all photometry is based. The observational astronomy group involves . The present book discusses, among other things, various quantization phenomena found in Astrophysics and some related issues including Brownian Motion. Most chapters in this book come from published papers in various peer-reviewed journals. ( views) A Primer for Black Hole Quantum Physics by R. Brout, S. Massar, R. Parentani, P. Spindel.

Observational astronomy is a division of astronomy that is concerned with recording data about the observable universe, in contrast with theoretical astronomy, which is mainly concerned with calculating the measurable implications of physical models. It is the practice and study of observing celestial objects with the use of telescopes and other astronomical instruments. As . Our research is focused on observational astrophysics: * Cosmic transients and explosions: Studying the catastrophic deaths of stars, utilizing the most advanced robotic wide-field sky surveys, world-wide ground and space-based facilities. Huge amounts of energy are released within hours in events so bright they are seen from the edge of the Universe. Observational high-energy astrophysics, including X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy, optical astronomy, and neutron stars and black holes. Biographical Sketch In , Prof. Chakrabarty was awarded the Ph.D. in Physics from the California Institute of Technology, following two years at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory () as a staff.

The ESIS project, located at ESRIN, Frascati, Italy is a service to the Astronomical and Space Physics communities to provide access to data of all kinds, including images and spectra from a number of space missions and bibliographic references from all the major Astronomical and Space Physics journals. HEASARC (High Energy Astrophysics Science.   PEP. - posted in Observational Astrophysics: Hello, Has anyone here got some experience with PEP observations? I have found information on the AAVSO website but that gives no answer to many questions. How is this working during observing? I have a C8 but I dont know what I should expect when I should do PEP observing.   An analysis of archival data reveals an observational correlation between stellar brightness variations and surface gravity, allowing a determination of surface gravity with a precision of better.
