Stochastic Gravitational Waves via Pulsar …

Investigation of wormhole dynamics

The central and most significant task of this project is the precision calculation of the spectrum and profile of gravitational waves emitted during the collapse of theoretical wormholes. This problem is solved using complex numerical modeling methods based on high-performance computing clusters using graphics accelerators (GPUs) and the GRTeclyn project software infrastructure. A fundamental feature of our problem statement is the setting of initial conditions without the involvement of exotic matter. In such conditions, a wormhole turns out to be unstable by definition, which inevitably initiates its gravitational collapse. The simulation describes in detail the highly dynamic evolution of pure space-time during this collapse, which determines the physical characteristics of the potential outgoing radiation.

Fundamental research

R&D: Lunar Phased Laser Rangefinder (LPLR)

Implementation of a flagship scientific project at the Sternberg Astronomical Institute of Lomonosov Moscow State University, focused on laser ranging of the Moon to study the stochastic gravitational background. The central objective is the development of a phase-based laser rangefinder at the Kislovodsk Mountain Observatory. While primarily aimed at fundamental research, the project also offers practical applications, including the monitoring of objects in high Earth orbits up to 40,000 km.

Fundamental research

Spectral Tomography of the Solar Surface (ATB-1 Telescope, SAI MSU)

Restoration and commissioning of the Solar Tower Telescope at the Sternberg Astronomical Institute (SAI), Moscow State University, and subsequent research: obtaining spectral tomograms of the solar surface to investigate physical conditions in the near-surface layers of the solar atmosphere, with the aim of studying solar activity. This also includes spectroscopic studies of the atmosphere over Moscow to accurately determine pollution levels.
