... Stellar Evolution is driven entirely by the never ending battle between Pressure and Gravity . As imbalances are reached, the star is driven to find a new Energy source. ... Pressure and gravitational forces are equal, the star is stable and its core is sufficiently hot to fuse Hydrogen into Helium More about main sequence stars . ... The luminosity generated by the core fusion of Helium into Carbon is far greater than the shell luminosity associated with the fusion of Hydrogen into Helium. ...

... This motivated the SAGE-SMC (Surveying the Agents of Galaxy Evolution in the Tidally Stripped, Low Metallicity Small Magellanic Cloud) Spitzer Legacy program with the specific goals of studying the amount and type of dust in the present interstellar medium, the sources of dust in the winds of evolved stars, and how much dust is consumed in star formation. ...

... 601Artyukh A survey of compact ( q < 1") radio sources is being made with the Large Phased Array (LPA) of Lebedev Physical Institute. ... The survey of scintillating radio sources in two areas of 7C survey has enabled to detect 414 compact sources, 380 of them 92% were detect first. The scintillating source count (from observations of two areas) has confirmed the decrease of the compact radio sources density for weak flux densities, which we found from observations of the first area. ...

... It is dark. ... Even without the structures' intense glare, your eyes take a moment to adjust to the vast scatterings of stars dazzling as diamonds on a sea of black velvet. ... A waiter you hadn't noticed puts a menu on the table. ... Oui," the waiter responds, "It is the stellar wind. ... You should be able to see them all in another moment -- the big one first and then the others. ... A second later a gap appears and, just as the waiter predicted, you see a brilliant blue white star. ...

... Mass loss Recipes | ... Mass Loss is the most important "driver" of stellar evolution in massive stars. ... The final goal is to predict mass loss over the entire evolution of a massive star at all cosmological epochs. ... Very Massive Stars are objects up to 300 times the mass of the Sun. ... Mass-loss rates increase dramatically when objects cross a critical Eddington Gamma factor (Vink et al. ... I have recently edited a book on "Very Massive Stars" including a mass-loss "chapter" . ...

The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ) . ... Before jumping into all the finer details of teh survey, a brief non-astronomer's guide to redshift surveys is available. ... The primary scientific aims of the QSO survey are: (1) to obtain the primordial fluctuation power spectrum out to COBE scales, (2) to determine the rate of QSO clustering evolution in the non-linear and linear regimes and hence obtain new limits on the value of and the bias parameter, (3) to apply a powerful geometric method to measure . ...

The Southern Pinwheel Galaxy (M83) . ... The blue and pink pinwheel in the center is the galaxy's main stellar disk, while the flapping, ribbon-like structures are its extended arms. The Galaxy Evolution Explorer is an ultraviolet survey telescope. Its observations, shown here in blue and green, highlight the galaxy's farthest-flung clusters of young stars up to 140,000 light-years from its center. The Very Large Array observations show the radio emission in red. ...

The project of the informational system creation on the problem of evolution of radio galaxies, as a part of the "Big Trio" project aimed on studing of distant radio galaxies, is designed. This system allows a user to operate with simulated curves of spectral energy distributions (SED) to estimate ages and redshifts by photometry data. Authors use SEDs of several models for different types of galaxies. ... The HTTP and e-mail access is organized to this system. ...
