Department of quantum radiophysics MIPT based in the Division of Optics of LPI, where the astrophysical research is conducted in the Laboratory of Solar X-ray Astronomy under professor S.V.Kuzin.

Main directions: search for mechanisms for heating of the solar corona, the study of the structure and dynamics of magnetic fields in the corona and their relation to the upper and lower layers of the solar atmosphere to study the physical properties of active regions, identifying the mechanisms of energy of fast processes, the search for mechanisms of formation and acceleration of the solar wind, the problem of abundance of elements in the corona.

Cosmic missions: space projects «CORONAS», TESIS.
