... We present preliminary results from two programs to image the host galaxies of radio-quiet quasars in 1.6 micron light using NICMOS camera 2 on HST. The high redshift program consists of QSOs covering the redshift range 0.8 < z < 4.4 and a range of QSO luminosities. Of the six objects for which data have been obtained the results range from no host galaxy detected, to an obvious galaxy with an interacting companion, to a possible high redshift galaxy cluster. ...

... In this paper we present the results of detailed B, V, R, I, and H study of the isolated nearby blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxy NGC6789. Judging from the literature the observed galaxy has not been resolved into stars up to now. ... The distance of the galaxy, estimated from the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) is 2.1 Mpc which places NGC6789 close to the Local Group. ...

... The author of the cover picture is Vasilisa Verkhodanova. The picture symbolizes our perception of the world. The modified emblem of the SAO unifying the 6-m optical telescope and the raditelescope RATAN-600 of SAO RAS is placed in the center of the radio galaxy isophotes. From the one hand, we can investigate the properties of radio galaxies with these (and other) telescopes, and try to study physical processes providing their activity. ...

The Python programs offered here result from the development of methodology for processing image data with high precision, in a flexible command line system useful for astronomical and laboratory image processing. ... Alsvid is efficient in robotic and automated or scripted server processing of astronomical images, and also in interactive command line processing for research and visualization. ... In large part it replaces IRAF and IDL when scripted image processing is required. ...

... All the galaxies are divided into 4 groups depending on the environment type; every subsample contains more than 10 galaxies. ... An effect of environments is seen both for the nuclei and for the bulges: if we consider the clusters (Virgo and Ursa Ma jor) and group centers as dense environments and the field and group periphery as sparse environments, then in the dense environments the stellar populations of S0s are in average older by 4­5 Gyr than in the sparse ones. ...

... We consider the astrophysical evolution of the Galaxy over large time scales, from early stages (an age of ~10 8 yrs) to the end of traditional stellar evolution (~10 11 yrs). ... In the model considered, the basic stages of Galactic evolution are as follows. ... Essentially all other basic parameters of the Galaxy vary little. ... The final "stellar epoch" in the life of the Galaxy is completed ~10 13 yrs after its formation, when the evolution of the least massive stars comes to an end. ...
