Barred spiral galaxy NGC 6744 is located in a constellation of the southern hemisphereтАЩs sky, called Pavo (Latin for peacock). At a distance from our Solar System of about 30 million light years, NGC 6744 is not only one of the closest spiral galaxies but is thought to be one of the visible galaxies most like our own Milky Way. Is it our cosmic doppelganger? ...

The infrared satellite IRAS. The main task of the IRAS telescope was the search of a longwave infrared radiation, composing the maps of the sky in the infrared range. IRAS telescope helped to discover new galaxies, to study the properties of the dust particles in our galaxy, which opens the character of a star hiding somewhere in the sky. ... For 6 months of observation it discovered 6 new asteroids, allowed to find out the nature of the dust zones between Mars and Jupiter orbits. ...

... arXiv.org . ... Although great progress has been made in modelling the disk with radiative transfer models able to reproduce the spectral energy distribution (SED) of Herbig Ae stars, the constraints brought by images have not been yet fully exploited. Here, we are interested in checking if these new observational imaging constraints can be accounted for by predictions based on existing models of passive centrally irradiated hydrostatic disks made to fit the SEDs of the Herbig Ae stars. ...

Clusters of galaxies are the largest gravitationally bounded structures in the Universe dominated by dark matter. We review the observational appearance and physical models of plasma structures in clusters of galaxies. ... The knowledge of the complex dynamical and feedback processes is necessary to understand the energy and matter balance as well as to constrain the role of the non-thermal components of clusters. ...
