[edit] Observatories

[edit] The Siberian Solar Radio Telescope (SSRT)

The SSRT is a special-purpose solar radio telescope designed for studying solar activity in the microwave range (5.7 GHz) where the processes occuring in the solar corona are accessible to observation over the entire solar disk. The SSRT sensitivity is such that it is possible to observe active regions at all stages of their development, at the background of the emission of an undisturbed solar atmosphere. Signal accumulation in the radio telescope's full reception band is used to obtain radio images of faint features in the solar atmosphere. Fast varying emission of flares is recorded at additive linear interferometers comprising the SSRT. More..

[edit] The Baikal Astrophysical Observatory (BAO)

The Baikal Astrophysical Observatory (BAO) is located in the outskirts of the settlement of Listvyanka on the south shore of Lake Baikal, 70 km far from Irkutsk.

BAO is noted for its remarkable astroclimatic regime due to an antihunt action of big water area and local anticyclon upon air environment. General Purposes: Observations of a thin structure of active solar formations;

Registration of solar flares and other non-stationary phenomena in solar atmosphere. More..

[edit] Sayan Solar Observatory

The observatory is located in the mountains at 2000m altitude.

This is due to the specific character of the observatory's main objectives which require very good seeing for polarization observations and solar corona observations.

Main objectives: Measurements of solar magnetic fields;

Spectral observations of solar active features and dynamic processes in the solar atmosphere. More..

[edit] Joint Geomagnetic Observatory

General Purposes:

An origin and diagnostics of geoeffective formations in a solar wind; Modelling of magnetosphere's indignations; Electromagnetic waves in the magnetosphere.

A magnetic observatory was established at Irkutsk in 1886 by the Department of National Education. More..

[edit] Norilsk Integrated Magnetic-Ionospheric Station

Data base of Norilsk Neutron Monitor Database contents of Norilsk neutron monitor data starting from 1971 (18NM64): up from January 1971-1981 and from 2000.

The interval of accumulation: hourly from 1971; 1-minute since August 2000.

Database updating goes in real time. An interactive access is possible to this database and FTP as well. More..

[edit] General Information

Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics was founded in 1960 on the basis of the Siberia's oldest geomagnetic observatory formed in 1886. Today it's a big scientific institute. Director - Academician G.A. Zherebtsov. Total staff: 467, including 142 researchers, 31 Doctors of Science, 75 Candidates of Science, and 135 engineers. More..

[edit] Major research areas

According to the SB RAS Presidium Regulation No. 175 (14 March 2008), main scientific areas of ISTP SB RAS are: Current problems of astronomy, astrophysics and space research, including solar and interplanetary medium physics, physics of the near-Earth space, ionosphere and atmosphere; investigation into solar-terrestrial relationships; development of astrophysical and geophysical research methods and equipment.
