Lucy spacecraft completes 1st flyby of asteroid 'Dinky'
(NASA/Goddard/University of Arizona)
NASA confirmed its Lucy spacecraft successfully completed a flyby of asteroid Dinkinesh, a relatively small space rock located in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter. This marks a milestone in Lucy's journey, as Dinkinesh, or 'Dinky,' is the first of 10 asteroids the probe will visit over the next 12 years.

Where will the April 2024 total solar eclipse be visible?
(Dennis di Cicco / Sky & Telescope)
The entire continent will see a partial solar eclipse, with the all-important path of totality heading from northwest Mexico through the U.S. to southeastern Canada. That path will be 115 miles (183 kilometers) wide, on average, and only within it will it be possible to experience darkness in the day and glimpse the sun's corona for up to 4 minutes 28 seconds.

Bullying Jupiter-like planets may push 'alien Earths' away
(NASA/Dana Berry)
Like huge playground bullies, planets like Jupiter can be "agents of chaos" around other stars, creating havoc in young planetary systems, often shoving smaller, Earth-sized planets way out of their original, circular orbits, according to new research.

Water system could aid Artemis astronauts tested on ISS
(NASA TV)
Water dispensers are essential items in space that have been used for generations. Crew members depend on these systems for drinking, as well as hydrating dry food and performing scientific experiments. With the addition of the new dispenser, ISS astronauts now have at least three locations where they can find drinkable water.

Juno probe detects organic compounds on Ganymede
(NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS/Kalleheikki Kannisto)
Nearby Jupiter has such a strong magnetic field that organic compounds and salts on the surface of Jovian moons would have a hard time surviving. However, the region around Ganymede's equator appears to be sufficiently shielded from the electrons and heavy ions that emanate from Jupiter's magnetic field to sustain these compounds.

Уважаемые коллеги!

На заседании Ученого совета в пятницу 3 ноября *_в 11:00_* будет
заслушан доклад:

Павел Носов (Stanford University)
*Entropy and de Haas-van Alphen oscillations of a three-dimensional
marginal Fermi liquid*

We study de Haas-van Alphen oscillations in a marginal Fermi liquid
resulting from a three-dimensional metal tuned to a quantum-critical
point (QCP). We show that the conventional approach based on extensions
of the Lifshitz-Kosevich formula for the oscillation amplitudes becomes
inapplicable when the correlation length exceeds the cyclotron radius.
This breakdown is due to (i) non-analytic finite-temperature
contributions to the fermion self-energy (ii) an enhancement of the
oscillatory part of the self-energy by quantum fluctuations, and (iii)
non-trivial dynamical scaling laws associated with the quantum critical
point. We properly incorporate these effects within the
Luttinger-Ward-Eliashberg framework for the thermodynamic potential by
treating the fermionic and bosonic contributions on equal footing. As a
result, we obtain the modified expressions for the oscillations of
entropy and magnetization that remain valid in the non-Fermi liquid regime.


Обращаю ваше внимание, что из-за большой разницы во времени между
Стэнфордом и Москвой семинар начнется в *_11:00_*, на полчаса раньше,
чем обычно.

ID и пароль онлайн-трансляций в Zoom те же, что и для предыдущих
трансляций семинаров и докладов на Ученом совете:

При числе желающих не менее 5 будет организован автобус.
Для записи на автобус из Москвы в Черноголовку необходимо до 18:00
четверга отправить письмо на адрес электронной почты bus@itp.ac.ru
После этого записавшимся до 20:00 поступит подтверждение об отправке или
неотправке автобуса в зависимости от числа записавшихся.
Запись на обратный автобус - на Ученом совете.
