Baikal Summer School. Day 6

Today was the last lecture day. In the morning Maxim Barkov (INASAN) told “How to make jets fast, powerful and variable”, and Elena Nokhrina told about “Magnetic fields in AGN jets”. Two parts of the lecture “Radiation and particle acceleration processes in relativistic outflows” were delivered by Evgeny Derishev (IAP RAS) before and after lunch.

The farewell party was held in the evening, during which awards were presented to school participants for the best student presentation, best poster, and best project. 

Awards for the best student reports were presented to:
