... Our resulting sample of ELGs presented in Tables 2 and 3 is not artificially biased to any specific type of galaxies. ... Since we are looking for selection of a sample of Case BCGs, it is interesting to examine how the detected BCGs are connected with Case emission-line codes. ... Altogether BCGs comprise about 60 % of all Case ELGs which display emission lines in our spectra, or about 44 % of all Case galaxies with some emission-line code. ... Among those with the code ``w'' about 40 % are BCGs. ...

... A document window is shown, with 8 lines (numbered 1 to 8), each 24px high. The text of the "outer" box (at the end of line 1, halfway into line 2, and halfway into line 3) is shifted upward 12px. The text of the "inner" box, thought shifted upward as well, has been relatively positioned so that it lies in its normal flow position at the end of line 2. ... The lines, as they appear in the image, contain: Start 1 Beginning of body contents. 2 of outer contents. Inner contents. ...

My main field of interest is modelling dust extinction and emission in the disk of spiral galaxies. Radiative transfer simulations are compared to optical, FIR and sub-mm observations to assess the dust mass, distribution relative to star and optical/emission properties. ... I'm also interested in the formation, evolution and survival of dust grains in high-redshift objects, and in comparing the extinction / emission properties of dust with observations of distant sources. ...

Do LIRGs follow the Tully-Fisher relation? ... For a small we can say majority of investigate i Conclusion number of galaxies in our sample, that the T-F relation holds. ... The purpose of this research was to study the LIRGs (Luminous Infrared Galaxies) and see if they follow the Tully-Fisher relation. The LIRGs are different to normal galaxies in the fact that they emit 90% of their light in infrared. ... The faster the galaxy rotates, the wider is the emission line in velocity. ...

... Here we present our first results of a study of the neutral hydrogen gas (HI) in the southern spiral galaxy NGC 253 with the Australia Telescope Compact Array . ... Several peculiar features have been found. ... Similar features have been found in other starburst galaxies like M82, NGC 1808 and NGC 4945 and are interpreted in terms of bar-induced gas dynamics and star formation. Keywords. galaxies: individual (NGC 253) - galaxies: active - galaxies: ISM - galaxies: kinematics and dynamics. ...

... From the uvby photometry and proper motions for about 5500 nearby F stars we have found the following: (i) F stars , taken in narrow ranges of metallicity , show at [fe/H] 0 rather distinct cut-off in their distribution along the Main Sequence (MS) at the blue side, which is suggested to be an indication for the MS turn-off in stellar groups of fixed metallicity ; (ii) the corresponding turn-off age from theoretical isohrones strongly correlates with the ...

... This program was created for correlating chosen regions in the series of fts images. ... Chosen regions' . ... In this section the program counts the integral for each region of the grid for each image. ... As a matter of fact, the integral is total brightness of the region and it is counted by 'int_tabulated' IDL function. ... In addition, the program will show the count of the regions which correlate with the corresponding region (the brighter region means the bigger count) and its contour. ...

Next: Initial conditions Up: Old neutron star distribution Previous: Introduction . The problem to be solved is to find stationary space distribution of stars which have had certain initial space and velocity distributions and move in a given potential. ... In principle, the most straightforward way to obtain the solution is to integrate directly the equations of motion for a sufficiently large number of stars with different initial conditions. ... Then space density is given by . ...
