When combined with infrared observations with the Spitzer telescope (3 to 160 ЮМm), the Herschel Space Observatory now fully samples the thermal dust emission up to 500 ЮМm and enables us to better estimate the total infrared-submm energy budget (LTIR) of nearby galaxies. We present new empirical calibrations to estimate resolved and integrated total infrared luminosities from Spitzer and Herschel bands used as monochromatic or combined tracers. ...

... Abstract: We present an extensive study of the radiative transfer in dusty galaxies based on Monte Carlo simulations. ... We have explored the dependence of A_l on a conspicuous set of quantities (Hubble type, inclination, dust optical thickness, dust distribution and extinction properties) for a large wavelength interval, ranging from 1250A to the K band, thus finally providing a comprehensive atlas of dust extinction in galaxies, which is electronically available. ...

Abstract -- Abundances of heavy elements decreases with increasing galactocentric distance almost in all disk galaxies. ... To explain this gradient in young objects and in the interstellar gas one has to assume that a typical disk galaxy is an open system, i.e. it expels some synthesized heavy elements into the circumgalactic space and/or accretes intergalactic gas with zero metallicity, with rates of both processes depending on the galactocentric distance. ...

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. ...

... A correlation between metal abundance and orbital elements (the eccentricity and angular momentum) has been found for three semples of disk stars of our Galaxy with abundance derived from detailed analysis. The correlation indicates that metal abundance in the Galaxy kept increasing after the birth of old disk stars and that the Galaxy kept collapsing during the formation of its disk subsystems. ...

... The main field of our team interests is the researching of galaxy clusters as well as single nearby galaxies. The galaxies and galaxy clusters, being gravitationaly bound and reliably distinguishable systems, allow us to determine their global physical characteristics. At the same time they are integrated as elements into higher level spatial structures or systems. ... Вack to main homepage . ...

... The search for distant objects which can be both galaxies and quasars is one of the most important problems of observational astrphysics, because it allows one to determine cosmological parameters connected with the time of appearence and evolution of stellar systems, large scale structure of the Universe. ... Radio galaxies are important objects to be studied because they are sources of infrared-optical-ultraviolet continuum, emission lines and continual radio emission. ...

... By comparison, old elliptical galaxies have a wide range of Lx(gas) and some of them (e.g., group or cluster dominant galaxies) have Lx(gas) 10 or 100 times higher than Lx(LMXB). One of the key observables to address the age effect is the abundance ratio of Fe to elements, b ecause of different pro duction yields of SNe Ia and I I. In the merger scenario of young elliptical galaxies, we would exp ect an enrichment of -elements from SN I I, asso ciated with the recent star formation. ...
