Activities report of the Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics
Abstract
The interstellar matter in external galaxies, galactic clusters as astronomical X-ray sources, and the observation of gamma ray bursts of non-natural origin, are reviewed. Plasma physics experiments were conducted in the near-earth cosmic space. Energetic ions and electrons in the magnetosphere and the interplanetary space were investigated, and several theoretical subjects were studied. In the fields of IR- and submillimeter as well as X-ray astronomy, observations were made, theoretical activities were conducted, and instruments were developed. In the field of gamma ray astronomy, flow and burst phenomena were measured, low- and high-energy astronomical measurements were made, and the acceleration of particles in shear flow as well as bremsstahlung in a relativistic plasma were theoretically studied.
