... Ever wonder how solar-mass stars form?. ... In order for material to accrete onto a protostar it has to lose angular momentum. The angular momentum of a large natal cloud leads to the formation of a circumstellar disk and inner accretion disk as the cloud collapses. ... Winds generated in the inner disk or close to the stellar surface (we don't know which) expel material along the disk rotation axis. ... This provides the highest resolution observational data on nearby young stars. ...

Resonances in the Solar and exoplanetary systems I. I. Shevchenko Pulkovo Observatory Abstract Dynamical problems on the orbital resonances, including mean motion resonances (both two-body and three-body ones) and secular resonances, are considered in application to the dynamics of the Solar and exoplanetary systems. The analyzed systems include multiplanetary (those with two or more than two planets) systems and planetary systems of double stars. ... Circumbinary planets at the "edge of chaos". ...

... 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. ...

Survey of HI in BCGs . The survey in 21-cm line of HI for "close" (V The analysis of this HI data, together with the results of CCD-imaging and photometry of these galaxies allows to estimate total (dynamical) mass of them. The important result of this work is a conclusion that the mass ratio of luminous and dark matter in dwarf galaxies can vary in very wide range - from 0.1 till more than 0.7-0.8. ... For spirals this ratio on the least massive end (Sm-galaxies) is close to 0.1-0.2. ...

... Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are located in external galaxies, their X-ray luminosities (10 39 - 10 41 erg/s) are thousand times greater than those of brightest black holes in the Galaxy. ULXs may be supercritical accretion disks around black holes of stellar masses (~10 Solar masses) like that in SS433, or they may be a hypothetical intermediate-mass black holes (hundreds - thousands Solar masses) with standard accretion disks. ... 2) The ULX progenitors were ejected from the star clusters. ...
