Mikhail Lomonosov. Panegyric to the Sovereign Emperor Peter the Great (1755). English translation with footnotes and commentary by V.Shiltsev
arXiv: History and Philosophy of Physics, 2020Co-Authors: Mikhail Lomonosov, Vladimir ShiltsevAbstract:One of Russia most prominent Enlightenment figures, Mikhail Lomonosov (1711-1765) was a polymath, scientist and writer, who made important contributions to physics, chemistry, astronomy, literature and education. Among his discoveries were the atmosphere of Venus and the law of conservation of mass in chemical reactions. This Panegyric to the Sovereign Emperor Peter the Great, written and read in 1755, continues the series of English translations of Mikhail Lomonosov seminal works which were included by himself in the convolute Lomonosow Opera Academica intended for distribution among European Academies.

Pomor Polymath: The Upbringing of Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov, 1711–1730
Physics in Perspective, 2013Co-Authors: Robert P. Crease, Vladimir ShiltsevAbstract:The life story of Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov (1711–1765) opens a window onto Russian science, politics, language, and social advancement in the era of Peter the Great (1672–1725). We cover Lomonosov’s background and upbringing, from his birth in 1711 near Kholmogory until his departure for Moscow on foot in 1730. The special character of the Pomor region, in Russia’s north, where Lomonosov was born and raised, is important for understanding his character, upbringing, and subsequent career trajectory. This character sprang from four overlapping factors: the isolation of the region, the political and religious tolerance that mainly prevailed there, the trade that brought the region into contact with foreigners, and the hardy lifestyle.

Experimental Reconstruction of Lomonosov's Discovery of Venus's Atmosphere with Antique Refractors During the 2012 Transit of Venus
Solar System Research, 2013Co-Authors: Alexandre Koukarine, Igor Nesterenko, Yuri Petrunin, Vladimir ShiltsevAbstract:In 1761, the Russian polymath Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov (1711-1765) discovered the atmosphere of Venus during its transit over the Sun's disc. In this paper we report on experimental reenactments of Lomonosov's discovery with antique refractors during the transit of Venus June 5-6, 2012. We conclude that Lomonosov's telescope was fully adequate to the task of detecting the arc of light around Venus off the Sun's disc during ingress or egress if proper experimental techniques as described by Lomonosov in his 1761 report are employed.

uffo Lomonosov the payload for the observation of early photons from gamma ray bursts
Space Science Reviews, 2018Co-Authors: I H Park, V. Reglero, Mikhile I. Panasyuk, S. Jeong, P H Chen, A J Castrotirado, V V Bogomolov, S. BrandtAbstract:The payload of the UFFO (Ultra-Fast Flash Observatory)-pathfinder now onboard the Lomonosov spacecraft (hereafter UFFO/Lomonosov) is a dedicated instrument for the observation of GRBs. Its primary aim is to capture the rise phase of the optical light curve, one of the least known aspects of GRBs. Fast response measurements of the optical emission of GRB will be made by a Slewing Mirror Telescope (SMT), a key instrument of the payload, which will open a new frontier in transient studies by probing the early optical rise of GRBs with a response time in seconds for the first time. The SMT employs a rapidly slewing mirror to redirect the optical axis of the telescope to a GRB position prior determined by the UFFO Burst Alert Telescope (UBAT), the other onboard instrument, for the observation and imaging of X-rays. UFFO/Lomonosov was launched successfully from Vostochny, Russia on April 28, 2016, and will begin GRB observations after completion of functional checks of the Lomonosov spacecraft. The concept of early GRB photon measurements with UFFO was reported in 2012. In this article, we will report in detail the first mission, UFFO/Lomonosov, for the rapid response to GRB observations.

ubat of uffo Lomonosov the x ray space telescope to observe early photons from gamma ray bursts
Space Science Reviews, 2018Co-Authors: V. Reglero, S. Jeong, J. Lee, M. I. Panasyuk, P Connell, M B Kim, J M Rodrigo, J Ripa, C J EylesAbstract:The Ultra-Fast Flash Observatory (UFFO) Burst Alert and Trigger Telescope (UBAT) has been designed and built for the localization of transient X-ray sources such as Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs). As one of main instruments in the UFFO payload onboard the Lomonosov satellite (hereafter UFFO/Lomonosov), the UBAT’s roles are to monitor the X-ray sky, to rapidly locate and track transient sources, and to trigger the slewing of a UV/optical telescope, namely Slewing Mirror Telescope (SMT). The SMT, a pioneering application of rapid slewing mirror technology has a line of sight parallel to the UBAT, allowing us to measure the early UV/optical GRB counterpart and study the extremely early moments of GRB evolution. To detect X-rays, the UBAT utilizes a 191.1 cm2 scintillation detector composed of Yttrium Oxyorthosilicate (YSO) crystals, Multi-Anode Photomultiplier Tubes (MAPMTs), and associated electronics. To estimate a direction vector of a GRB source in its field of view, it employs the well-known coded aperture mask technique. All functions are written for implementation on a field programmable gate array to enable fast triggering and to run the device’s imaging algorithms. The UFFO/Lomonosov satellite was launched on April 28, 2016, and is now collecting GRB observation data. In this study, we describe the UBAT’s design, fabrication, integration, and performance as a GRB X-ray trigger and localization telescope, both on the ground and in space.

Electron Acceleration and Subsecond Time Delays of Hard X-Rays of Solar Flares According to Lomonosov Satellite Data
Cosmic Research, 2018Co-Authors: Yu. T. Tsap, V V Bogomolov, M. I. Panasyuk, S. I. Svertilov, I. N. Myagkova, Yu. G. Kopylova, G. G. Motorina, A. V. Bogomolov, T. B. Gol’dvarg, I. V. YashinAbstract:On the basis of satellite observations obtained with the help of X-ray and gamma-ray detector units (BDRG/ Lomonosov in Russian), using digital filtering methods, the analysis of time delays between the second pulsations of time profiles of hard X-ray radiation of different frequency bands from the solar flare that occurred on July 21, 2016 has been made. It is shown that the count rate in energy channels of 10–20, 20–35, and 35–60 keV detected by BDRG/ Lomonosov are correlated with an accuracy up to 0.1 s. The result agrees well with the observations of the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor on board the Fermi satellite and supposes an effective acceleration of charged particles over the entire length of the flare magnetic arc.
