This wave has been driven by new and upgraded instruments in the far-infrared and sub-millimeter that are able to perform such measurements in "normal" z>0.5 galaxies. CO observations receive special attention these days as ALMA enters routine operation phase. But does CO emission trace all the molecular gas? I will discuss the structure of molecular clouds and the so called 'dark gas' that we may be missing. -

Revolution in Planetary Microlensing

The event rate is in process of increasing 15-fold to ~50/year in 2015. While this is still small compared to other techniques, microlensing is uniquely capable of probing low-mass planets in the cold outer parts of solar systems. Once thought to be a "purely statistical" method, microlens planet detections now frequently yield detailed information about individual systems, including masses, distances, and orbital motion. These include terrestrial mass planets in Earth-like orbits, multi-planet systems, and planets in binary systems. Microlensing is yielding full orbital solutions of binary lenses (a prospect once
considered preposterous) which opens the way for direct testing by RV followup. I review the recent discoveries made possible by the microlensing revolution, and discuss a second revolution that is now just in its planning stages.

Research of ns-timescale electrical discharge in pressurized gases

Discharges were ignited in gas filled chambers, with interelectrode gap ≤3cm, by application of high-voltage (HV) pulses ≤200 kV in amplitude and duration ≤5ns at FWHM to a blade cathode. The discharge is ignited by runaway electrons (RAE), responsible for pre-ionization of the gas, thus allowing for the discharge to develop during single nanoseconds. In the last 4 years we have investigated this discharge using a variety of non-disturbing diagnostics with temporal resolution close to a single nanosecond: fast-framing imaging, x-ray foil spectroscopy, electron beam imaging, electron beam foil spectroscopy, optical emission spectroscopy and Coherent anti-Stokes Raman Scattering. Profound conclusions were drawn regarding the dynamics of the discharge and dependence on the gas and pressure, energy spectrum of RAE and the x-ray radiation, RAE emission mechanism, plasma parameters such as electron density and temperature, intensity of electric fields present in the plasma channels and conductivity of the discharge plasma.
