Vazeni studenti a mili kolegove,
V tomto obtiznem case pozvolna koncicich prazdnin a dovolenych, dovoluji si
Vas pozvat na seminar a diskuzi se zahranicnimi hosty. Tema seminare patri
do oblasti vysokofrekvencnich oscilaci rentgenoveho zareni, ktere se
pozoruji u nekolika desitek neutronovych hvezd a cernych der ve
dvojhvezdnych soustavach. Pricina oscilaci neni znama (o hypotezy nouze
neni), a tak jde o docela zajimave tema. Prednasejici
jsou zajimave osobnosti a zname celebrity tohoto oboru. Bude prilezitost
poslechnout si dve prednasky (jedna pozorovatelska, jedna teoreticka) a
navazat neformalnimi otazkami a diskuzi.
Neobvykly termin a misto (sobota, Narodni 3) jsou dany snahou dostat
vsechny cizince, zabyvajici se ruznymi aspekty tohoto tematu, do jedne
mistnosti soucasne. Patrne se zucastni rovnez dalsi zahranicni
hoste s pravdepodobnosti v intervalu (0,1).
Neobvykly termin a misto ovsem velmi zneklidnuji organizatora seminaru.
Doufam, ze studenti a kolegove, kteri se mohou zucastnit, me nenechaji v
sale samotneho s presilovkou prednasejicich. Prosim take o rozsireni teto
pozvanky mezi dalsi zajemce ve Vasem okoli.
Srdecne, Vladimir Karas

Additional information follows.
The first compelling evidence of a large mass function in an X-ray
transient was discovered by Ron Remillard and Jeff McClintock (then at MIT)
in 1985. For a number of years this source was one of a kind. In 1992 two
more such sources were identified, one of them by McClintock and Remillard
in collaboration. Recently, both authors have significantly contributed
to the effort of redefining the states of active accretion in compact
binaries. Shoji Kato has pioneered the whole subject of discoseismology.
He is a co-author of an influentional book on accretion discs and their
oscillations.
