First Astrophysical School “Trajectory” for senior pupils
The Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences together with the “Trajectory” foundation for supporting scientific, educational, and cultural initiativesheld the First Astrophysical School “Trajectory” in August 2016. The project is aimed to help senior school students develop and maintain their interest in science, as well as to expand their knowledge in the field of astronomy and astrophysics. The astrophysical school “Trajectory” is a three-year course of internal and correspondence studies on a specially developed program. 42 final participants, 8th-grade students, were selected from the results of tests in mathematics, physics, and astronomy. The extended school “Trajectory” is the first long-term project in the history of astronomical schools aimed at the advanced study of astrophysics beyond the school curriculum.

Russian translation of the monograph “Tools of Radio Astronomy” by T. Wilson, K. Rohlfs and S. Huttemeister
The Russian translation of the monograph “Tools of Radio Astronomy” by T. Wilson, K. Rohlfs and S. Huttemeister was published (FIZMATLIT, 2012). The book provides a detailed description of modern instruments and methods of radio astronomy, and considers a wide variety of topics ranging from the basics of electrodynamics to manufacturing modern telescopes and detectors. The book is intended for scientists and engineers working in radio astronomy and related sciences — radio physics, antenna, radiometric and communication technology. This edition includes for the first time the authors' solutions to all the problems in each of the 16 chapters of the book. This makes the book a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in the corresponding fields.
