Astronomy Object of the Month: A New Effective Method for Analyzing Extremely Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Waves

Extremely low frequency electromagnetic waves (ELF; here from 0.03 to 1000 Hz) propagating in the spherical resonant cavity between the Earth's surface and the ionosphere provide an effective means of testing the ionosphere's state and its inhomogeneities. They allow for the analysis of solar activity impacts in the UV and X-ray range, solar flares, and space weather. Additionally, they enable studies of such terrestrial phenomena of importance as climate change. Analysis of ELF waves is also crucial for mitigating possible coherent electromagnetic interference in gravitational wave detector networks, like LIGO-VIRGO-KAGRA. Our new measurements from the ELA11 station in the Bieszczady Mountains offer promising potential for advancing such research. Here, we present the first in a series of studies conducted over the past year based on data from this station. More...

Jagiellonian University with its own space mission under ERC grant!


The European Research Council has awarded 3 mln € to dr Michał Drahus for the HYADES project, under which a dedicated space telescope will be built to observe hydrogen and deuterium around small bodies in the Solar System. The goal is to determine the origin of water on our planet and to search for new and previously unknown water reservoirs in the Solar System and other planetary systems. The five-year project will be carried out at the Department of Physics, Astronomy and Applied Computer Science at the Jagiellonian University. More...
