International Workshop on Astronomical X-Ray-Optics (AXRO) organized by the Institute of Astronomy of the CAS was focused on presentation and discussion of recent and future technologies for future X-ray astronomy missions. One session was aimed on astrophysical aspects of X-ray telescopes/satellites, in which some review talks were given from leading scientists in this field plus some presentations of relevant Czech scientists. The goal of the workshop was to present and to discuss recent and future technologies for X-ray astronomy missions. These missions require development of mostly inovative technologies, and discussed the possibilities, the results obtained so farm and new ideas in detail. It is obvious that the requirements of future large space X-ray optics based on Si wafers, advanced glass forming for precise X-ray optics, but also other possible technologies and alternatives, as well as related advanced metrology, measurements and tests. and Martin Blažek.
Na jedinečnou vzdělávací akci, která se konala od 3. do 10. července 2017 v prostorách Matematicko-fyzikální fakulty v Troji, přijely čtyři desítky nejlepších řešitelů astronomických olympiád z České republiky, Estonska, Maďarska, Polska a Slovenska. Na programu byly vedle výpočetníích seminářů také zvané přednášky přístupné široké veřejnosti, večerní pozorování, výjezd do planetária v Hradci Králové, exkurze na odřejovskou observatoř a komentovaná procházka po pražských astronomických památkách. Účastnící si rovzněž vyzkoušeli atmosféru mezinárodní olympiády při simulované souteži. and Jakub Vošmera, Jan Kožuško, Václav Pavlík.
This year´s summer school, held in Brno in September 1-11, 2015 attended by advanced MSc´s, PhD students, Postdocs and senior astronomers presented modern instruments available for observations in the Optical and IR domains, together with their scientific tasks and performances. Primarily, the ESO instruments (ESO - European Organization for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere), as well as those available through the Opticon Access Program were features. and Petr Kabáth, Vladimír Karas, Ernst Paunzen.
