Le LAM est aujourd’hui l’un des plus importants instituts de recherche en Astrophysique en Europe, et participe aux projets prioritaires de la discipline. Le LAM compte aujourd’hui 54 chercheurs permanents, 76 personnels technique et administratif, 21 doctorants, 13 post-doctorants, et 22 personnels temporaires. L’ensemble des personnels du LAM, qui étaient jusque là sur deux sites séparés, sur le site dit « des Olives » de l’ancien Laboratoire d’Astronomie Spatiale, et sur le site de l’ancien Observatoire de Marseille, s’est installé dans un nouveau bâtiment sur le site de Château-Gombert en mai 2008. La construction du bâtiment, la définition et l’implémentation des plateformes techniques, le déménagement, ont demandé un effort important de l’ensemble des personnels. L’organisation en projet autour de ce déménagement a permis de continuer une production scientifique et technique de premier plan. L’ensemble des moyens maintenant à disposition des personnels est au meilleur niveau international, en particulier avec des plateformes de haut niveau technologique : la plateforme de polissage POLARIS et la plateforme SPATIAL d’assemblage, intégration et tests en environnement spatial. Le plan d’équipement des nouveaux locaux à été réalisé à plus de 75% sur les priorités 1. Les objectifs scientifiques ont continué de se concentrer autour de deux problématiques importantes : d’une part, l’origine et l’évolution des galaxies et des grandes structures et les paramètres du modèle cosmologique incluant l’énergie noire, et, d’autre part, l’origine des planètes au travers de l’observation des planètes extrasolaires et du système solaire. Une troisième thématique s’est attachée à développer les méthodes et technologies nécessaires aux télescopes et instruments de prochaine génération. La production scientifique du laboratoire a continué d’augmenter au cours du quadriennal écoulé, atteignant un nombre de publications de rang A de plus de 780, soit environ 200 par an ou 4 par chercheur par an, et un taux de citation lui aussi en augmentation. L’existence et la nature de l’énergie noire et de la matière noire restent des inconnues fondamentales du modèle cosmologique. Les sondes cosmologiques se sont développées ces dernières années, avec l’émergence de la mesure des oscillations acoustiques baryoniques (BAO) et du taux de croissance des structures mesurées par les distorsions dans l’espace des redshifts, aux cotés de la mesure du taux de cisaillement gravitationnel, des Supernovae (SNe), et du fond diffus cosmologique. Le LAM s’est fortement impliqué dans la mesure du taux de croissance à partir des grands sondages de galaxies, et dans la préparation des grands projets sol et spatial autour des BAO et des SNe. Dans ce contexte cosmologique, le scénario de formation et d’évolution des galaxies reste encore à établir. Quand se sont formées les premières galaxies, quand et par quels processus la masse des galaxies s’est-elle assemblée ? Le LAM fournit une contribution majeure à cette 7 thématique en conduisant et en participant aux très grands sondages profonds de l’Univers avec l’instrument VIMOS construit par le LAM et un consortium franco-italien pour le VLT de l’ESO (VVDS, COSMOS/zCOSMOS, VIPERS), ou des contributions instrumentales spatiales (GALEX, NASA-CNES). L’approche multi-longueurs d’onde de l’UV à l’IR et au-delà est une des forces du LAM, ainsi que l’expertise en simulations numériques de galaxies. Les équipes attendent beaucoup des programmes d’observation sur Herschel, pour lequel le LAM a fourni une contribution instrumentale importante. Comprendre la formation des planètes est un enjeu majeur, révolutionné par la découverte d’exoplanètes de plus en plus nombreuses, et une exploration détaillée du système solaire. Le LAM participe aux grands programmes de recherche d’exoplanètes, en particulier autour de la mission spatiale COROT CNES-ESA qui fournit une moisson exceptionnelle. Le suivi sol des exoplanètes découvertes se fait avec Sophie-OHP et Harps-ESO. L’étude des petits corps du système solaire donne une autre approche à la compréhension de la formation des planètes. Le LAM participe aux missions d’exploration du système solaire, en attendant les résultats de Rosetta. En parallèle, le LAM participe à la définition des missions de prochaine génération. Le LAM propose une expertise sur l’ensemble de la chaine d’acquisition de nouvelles connaissances, qui permet aux équipes un positionnement en leader ou co-leader dans des grands projets internationaux. La capacité à développer des projets d’instruments pour les observatoires au sol et pour l’espace autour des spectrographes et imageurs dans le domaine UV-visible-IR reste une spécificité ou le savoir-faire du LAM est reconnu. Dans la période, le LAM a livré des contributions instrumentales importantes à COROT et HERSCHEL ; et 3D-NTT et VLT-SPHERE sont en cours de finalisation. Le LAM a un savoir-faire reconnu de conduite de très grands programmes d’observation, et de traitement des données massives qui en sont issues. Les données sont mises à disposition à l’ensemble de la communauté via des bases de données liées à l’Observatoire Virtuel. En soutien à ces projets, le LAM a participé à 12 programmes de l’Agence Nationale de la Recherche sur la période. Le projet quadriennal s’inscrit dans la continuité de ces trois thématiques scientifiques : (1) Cosmologie, formation et évolution des galaxies, formation stellaire (74% des effectifs chercheurs permanents), (2) formation des systèmes planétaires (16% des effectifs), et (3) développement de concepts et d’instrumentation nouvelle pour les futurs grands télescopes (10% des effectifs). Aux grandes campagnes d’observation d’aujourd’hui (COROT, Herschel, VLT,…) succédera une implication forte sur les grands programmes des nouveaux observatoires et leur instrumentation (VISTA, VLT, JWST, ALMA). Pour assurer l’accès privilégié aux données, le LAM s’est engagé, souvent

    ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature

    Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature

    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject. For further references see: [AU Trans. X, 259-263, 1960; XIB, 236-238, 1962; Xlffi, 203-204, 1966; xnffi, 99-105, 1968; XIVB, 63, 129, 139, 1971; Space Sci. Rev. 12, 136-186, 1971.

The study of small water bodies contributes to understanding aquatic organisms’ adaptation to sharp fluctuations in external factors. Studies of biological com- munities’ response to fluctuations in external factors can be used for bioindication of the ecological state of small water bodies. In this regard, the purpose of the research is to study the structure of zooplankton of small lakes in South-East Kazakhstan in connection with various physicochemical parameters to understand the role of biological variables in assessing the ecological state of aquatic Citation: Aubakirova, M.; Krupa, E.; ecosystems.

Usatov1 Report, Planetary Sciences Unit (AST80015), Swinburne Astronomy Online ABSTRACT Geomorphological, mineralogical and other evidence of the conditions favoring the existence of water on Mars in liquid phase is reviewed. This includes signatures of past and, possibly, present aqueous environments, such as the northern ocean, lacustrine environments, sedimentary and thermokarst landforms, glacial activity and water erosion features. Reviewed also are hydrous weathering processes, observed on surface remotely and also via analysis of Martian meteorites. Chemistry of Martian water is discussed: the triple point, salts and brines, as well as undercooled liquid interfacial and solid-state greenhouse effect melted waters that may still be present on Mars. Current understanding of the evolution of Martian hydrosphere over geological timescales is presented from early period to the present time, along with the discussion of alternative interpretations and possibilities of dry and wet Mars extremes. 1.

It was intended to be automated and printed out but this form was going to be delayed for a year or more so the catalog part has been typed instead. Lunar transient phenomena have been observed for almost 1 1/2 millenia, both by the naked eye and telescopic aid. The author has been collecting these reports from the literature and personal communications for the past 17 years. It has resulted in a listing of 1468 reports representing only slight searching of the literature and probably only a fraction of the number of anomalies actually seen. The phenomena are unusual instances of temporary changes seen by observers that they reported in journals, books, and other literature. Therefore, although it seems we may be able to suggest possible aberrations as the causes of some or many of the phenomena it is presumptuous of us to think that these observers, long time students of the moon, were not aware of most of them.

    Seasonal Dynamics and Phylogenetic Diversity of Free-Living and Particle-Associated Bacterial Communities in Four Lakes in Northeastern Germany

    AQUATIC MICROBIAL ECOLOGY Vol. 45: 115–128, 2006 Published November 24 Aquat Microb Ecol Seasonal dynamics and phylogenetic diversity of free-living and particle-associated bacterial communities in four lakes in northeastern Germany Martin Allgaier, Hans-Peter Grossart* Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries, Department of Limnology of Stratified Lakes, Alte Fischerhütte 2, 16775 Stechlin-Neuglobsow, Germany ABSTRACT: The phylogenetic diversity and seasonal dynamics of free-living and particle-associated bacterial communities were investigated in the epilimnion of 4 lakes of the Mecklenburg Lake Dis- trict, northeastern Germany. All lakes differed in their limnological features, ranging from olig- otrophic to eutrophic and dystrophic. Bacterial community structure and seasonal dynamics were analyzed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and clone libraries of 16S rRNA gene fragments. Communities of free-living and particle-associated bacteria greatly differed among the lakes. In addition, significant differences occurred between both bacterial fractions within each lake. Seasonal changes were more pronounced in free-living than in particle-associated bacterial commu- nities. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) analyses revealed several strong correlations between bacterial communities (both free-living and particle-associated) and environmental vari- ables such as pH, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), phytoplankton biomasses, and primary produc- tion. Phylogenetically, all cloned and sequenced 16S rRNA gene fragments belonged to already known freshwater clusters. Clone libraries of free-living bacteria were dominated by sequences of Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Betaproteobacteria, whereas those of particle-associated bacteria predominantly consisted of Cyanobacteria and Bacteroidetes sequences. Other freshwater phyla such as Alpha- and Gammaproteobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, Planctomycetes, and members of Can- didate Division OP10 were found in low proportions.

    Updated Catalogs of Peak-Ring Basins and Protobasins on Mars David M.H. Baker; NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD Contact: [email protected] A catalog of craters ≥1 km on Mars from Robbins et al. [2] was used to survey all craters >50 km on the planet (N=2,070) in a manner similar to [5,6] for the Moon and Mercury. Motivation: II. Basin Images Datasets used included MOLA gridded topography and a global THEMIS daytime IR mosaic [7]. During the survey, each crater was identified as having a rim crest in addition to a single interior ring of peaks (peak-ring basin), an interior ring of peaks plus a central peak (protobasin), a central peak only (complex crater), or no interior structure (unclassified). • The morphology of peak-ring basins (exhibiting a rim crest and interior peak Schiaparelli; 446 km Schroeter; 292 km Galle; 223 km Kepler; 222 km Secchi; 217 km Kaiser; 202 km Lowell; 199 km Phillips; 185 km ring) in the complex crater to basin transition on the Moon and Mercury have been well characterized based on data from recent missions to these planetary bodies [e.g., 1]. • Although global crater catalogs have recently been produced for Mars [e.g., 2], the detailed characteristics of the crater to basin transition on Mars has not been fully re-examined since basin ring catalogs and measurements were produced over two decades ago by Pike and Spudis [3], among others. • Here, previous basin catalogs [3] and the global crater catalog of Robbins Unnamed; 180 km Molesworth; 175 km Proctor; 167 km Becquerel; 165 km Ptolemaeus; 165 km Dejnev 152 km Unnamed; 103 km Mie; 101 km et al.
