In summer of 2018 from the territory of Kazakhstan one might observe full lunar eclipse (July, 27/28) and partial solar eclipse (August, 11). We provide here the exact timetables for these eclipses calculated for the cities of Kazakhstan.

On July, 10 at 11 a.m. we have a seminar by Yerlan Aimuratov (junior researcher at FAPHI and PhD-student at the Sapienza University of Rome), who will talk about the production of GeV-energy photons in gamma-ray bursts.

Asteroid Day is a movement aiming to raise awareness about asteroid threat and possible methods of its mitigation. Since 2015 Asteroid Day is held on June 30 each year, and recently it has been sanctioned by the United Nations. The Asteroid Day Declaration has been signed by hundreds of leading scientists and artists. Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute is the regional ...

On June 18, 2018, we have a seminar by Prof. Anatoly S. Miroshnichenko (University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA) who will talk about new results in studying the Be and B[e] phenomenon.

An international team of astrophysicists that includes a researcher from Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute has solved the mystery of the powerful outburst in CTA-102 blazar observed in December, 2016. The results are published in the journal Nature.

On 4th of December we have a seminar "Cosmic gamma ray bursts, what's new: GRB 160625B - most luminous, GRB 170817A - first GRB associated with binary neutron star merger". The talk will be given by Pozanenko A.S., the head of the laboratory at the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

For the first time a merger of two neutron stars was registered in two independent channels - via gravitational waves and in electromagnetic spectra. Our institute also took part in observing this grandiose event in optic.
