Its discovery resulted directly from measurements of the distances to remote galaxies. ...

Chiaki Kobayashi, Ralph Sutherland How galaxies did form and evolution? - to answer this unsolved problem, we are simulating the formation and evolutionary history of galaxies in the Universe, including star formation, supernovae feedback, and chemical enrichment. Comparing the spacial distribution of elements within galaxies with observations, we will examine fundamental physical processes that drive galaxy formation. ...

... Professor Mark Bailey completed work with the former PDRA Vacheslav Emel'yanenko on the capture of Halley-type comets from the long-period cometary flux. He also completed a paper with Ph.D. student Scott Manley on collision probabilities between small solar system bodies, and together with PDRA David Asher and visiting research fellow Vacheslav Emel'yanenko provided the explanation for the unexpected outburst of Leonid fireballs on the morning of 1998 November 17. ...

... Chandra Observation of LMXB in M84 . We present characteristics of the X-ray point source population in the M84 field as observed by Chandra ACIS-S. We find the galactic sources in M84 follow the stellar light profile, which imposes similar formation histories for stars in both single and binary systems. After correcting for incompleteness in the source detection, we find a log N-log S similar to that of the elliptical galaxy NGC4697. ...
