The current version of SAI Supernova Catalogue presents data on supernovae together with data on their parent galaxies. ... The main source of data for the galaxies was LEDA database. ... In some cases our data were compared with the ones from the Asiago Supernova Catalogue and from List of Supernovae at Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, but the compilation of our Catalogue is carried out independently. ...

... 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. ...

... Cross-shaped galaxy ZGC 2315+03 (Fig.1) has been described by Zwicky (1971) as ``post-eruptive or the result of the crossing of a compact galaxy through an edge-on spiral'' .

Abstract -- Abundances of heavy elements decreases with increasing galactocentric distance almost in all disk galaxies. ... To explain this gradient in young objects and in the interstellar gas one has to assume that a typical disk galaxy is an open system, i.e. it expels some synthesized heavy elements into the circumgalactic space and/or accretes intergalactic gas with zero metallicity, with rates of both processes depending on the galactocentric distance. ...

Astronomers at Armagh Observatory and Cardiff University have independently discovered new mechanisms by which micro-organisms may have spread throughout the Galaxy.

It could be that SETI signals have arrived at the Earth, but are lower then the noise level, and our receivers cannot detect them. ... Fig. ... It follows that two zones form around the star with civilization X: "Zone Yes", where its SETI signal can be detected, and "Zone No", where its signals are hidden by noise (Fig. ... In practice, it is more efficient to use a time factor, since the problem of SETI contact does not limit the duration of the signal element and semantic text. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...
