... Galaxy Evolution home . ... Regulating the ISM and star formation . Cosmological evolution of star-forming galaxies . ... Local Information . ... In order to investigate the cosmological evolution of star-forming galaxies it is essential that we understand the physics which controls the evolution and regulation of star formation in the ISM. ... We use a combined observational and numerical approach to study interacting and merging galaxies in the local Universe. ...

... 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. ...

Next: Supernova Explosions Up: No Title Previous: X-ray Luminosity Evolution . The origin of cosmic rays (CR) (especially of very high energies, >  eV) until now has been one of the unsolved problems in modern astrophysics. It is unclear as yet whether one universal mechanism of relativistic particle formation in our Galaxy operates or not, and if there are several different mechanisms, what is their relative contribution to CR formation. ... compact X-ray stars in binary systems. ...

... This recently reintroduced area of research at the Observatory continues a tradition established at the Observatory by E.J. Opik , focusing on problems involving the origin and evolution of comets , their dynamical transfer from the Oort cloud and other reservoirs into short-period orbits , the interrelationship between comets and asteroids (particularly objects in Earth-crossing ... The first concerns the origin and evolution of the Oort cloud in the Galaxy. ...

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. ...

This process is thought to occur in circumstellar disks of gas and dust around young stars on rather short timescales : infrared surveys show that the number of low mass stars with disks drops dramatically for stars older than 10 Myr, suggesting that in order to form large solids before the disk disperses, the growth process has to take place within a few million years. ...

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. ...
