... QSO spectra in the ROSAT band are steeper than the background at harder energies, and furthermore at fluxes below 1E-14 ergs/(s cmќ) the quasar source counts flatten off and are replaced by more numerous populations of relatively low red-shift objects, apparently Narrow Emission Line Galaxies (NELG). ... We extracted the luminosity function from ROSAT Deep Survey results, and extrapolated by a factor of 2 - 3 to account for changes expected in the harder XMM band. ...

Authors: Yu.G. Shevelev , V.A. Marsakov , . ... We have constructed and investigated properties of metallicity function of disk stars with different ages, proceeding from the statistically restored real altitude distributions of stars at the solar galactocentric distance. It is shown that the metallicity distribution of stars in each age range is not of Gaussian form, but it may be considered as a superposition of two normal distributions centered at -0.2 and 0.0 dex. ...

Armed with these assumptions, observations, and laws, cosmologists try to build a theory of the development, or evolution, of the universe. ... Over the past 70 years, they have constructed and tested a theory that seems to explain the major properties of the universe: the Big Bang theory. ... This is an important point: The Big Bang theory allows for many different scenarios of the detailed evolution and composition of the universe. ... Because of a theory called nucleosynthesis. ...
