  • Cluster:Shocking recipe for 'killer electrons' Interplanetary shocks can create "killer electrons" in the near-Earth space environment within 15 minutes of the shock reaching the Earth's protective magnetic bubble. The underlying mechanism for this process has now been revealed as a result of a rare configuration of satellites, including Cluster, SOHO and Double Star.
  • Mars Express:Phobos flyby images Images from the recent flyby of Phobos, on 7 March 2010, are released today. The images show Mars' rocky moon in exquisite detail, with a resolution of just 4.4 metres per pixel. They show the proposed landing sites for the forthcoming Phobos-Grunt mission.
  • Hubble:Bully galaxy rules the neighbourhood [heic1004] In general, galaxies can be thought of as "social" - hanging out in groups and frequently interacting. However, this recent NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image highlights how some galaxies appear to be hungry loners. These cosmic oddities have set astronomers on the "case of the missing neighbour galaxies".
  • Mars Express:Mars Express to make closest ever approach to Phobos On 3 March 2010 Mars Express will make its closest ever approach to Phobos, the larger of the two Martian moons. During a series of flybys, spanning six weeks, all seven instruments onboard Mars Express will be utilised to study Phobos. The close approach provides a first opportunity to perform a unique gravity experiment that may reveal the distribution of mass within this intriguing moon.
  • Director's Desk:Exoplanet Roadmap Advisory Team Workshop: A Roadmap for Exoplanets The Exoplanet Roadmap Advisory Team (EPR-AT) invites interested parties from the scientific community to attend a workshop on "A Roadmap for Exoplanets", to be held 7-8 April 2010 at University College London. A draft roadmap document, in preparation by the EPR-AT for submission to ESA, will be discussed at this workshop. Input from the community is solicited in preparation for the final report to ESA later this year.
  • Robotic Exploration:Announcement of Opportunity for ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter Instruments ESA and NASA have today issued an announcement of opportunity soliciting proposals for scientific instruments for the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, one element of the joint ESA-NASA ExoMars programme.
  • Home page:ISSI Call for Proposals 2010 for International Teams in Space Science (incl. Geosciences) Announcement The International Space Science Institute (ISSI) in Bern, Switzerland, invites proposals for establishing International Teams to conduct on its premises research activities in Space Sciences, based on the interdisciplinary analysis and evaluation of data from spacecraft and possible integration with ground data and theoretical models. For the purpose of this Call, Space Sciences include the Solar and Heliospheric Physics, Solar-Terrestrial Sciences, Space Plasma and Magnetospheric Physics, Planetary Sciences, Astrobiology, Cosmology, Astrophysics, Fundamental Physics, and Earth Sciences.
  • Conferences:9th Annual International Astrophysics Conference: Pickup Ions Throughout the Heliosphere and Beyond[Sun, 14 Mar 2010] This conference is set up to review the state of our understanding of pickup ion physics and its consequences, identify outstanding problems, and consider potential new approaches. It is now recognized that pickup ions are present in almost all possible space environments, created from atoms originating at comets, planets, the satellites of the gas giants, and the interstellar medium. Indeed, pickup ions can be formed whenever a neutral gas and plasma interact.
  • IYA2009:Communicating Astronomy with the Public 2010 (CAP 2010) - Building on IYA 2009[Mon, 15 Mar 2010] This conference builds on the astounding success of the International Year of Astronomy 2009 (IYA2009). It will bring together producers of astronomical information (research scientists), public information officers (connected with large observatories and space missions), and mediators (science reporters and writers, staff members from museums, planetariums). CAP2010 will focus on the outcome of the IYA2009 activities, their evaluation and plans for future work. Furthermore, as this meeting will be held in South Africa, another major theme will be 'stimulating astronomy communication in the emerging world'.
  • Conferences:High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy: past, present, and future[Mon, 15 Mar 2010] High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy has become a powerful tool for astrophysics since the launch of Chandra and XMM-Newton, now 10 years ago. The grating spectrometers on both instruments still continue to provide excellent data, while imaging calorimeters are being prepared for future missions like Astro-H and IXO. The synergy with other wavelength bands like the UV will be boosted by the addition of COS to HST. X-ray spectroscopy offers unique diagnostics to study almost any object in the Universe. In this meeting presentations on highlights and the state-of-the-art of X-ray spectroscopy for a broad range of objects and on the prospects for future studies are foreseen.
