. This schematic diagram shows how scientists think the universe has evolved from the Big Bang to the present day. Data from the UKIRT, VLT, and Subaru observatories allowed astronomers to take four precise and comparable snapshots of the universe when it was, 2, 4, 6 and 9 billion years old, each containing hundreds of star-forming galaxies. By comparing the different snapshots, astronomers were able to accurately track what has changed over the past 11 billion years. // illustration by CXC/NASA/NOAO/KIPAC

... In the pn-CCD, 768 individual amplifiers allow fast readout, but imply different gains for the different readout channels which all have to be determined and corrected for. The gains of the 768 readout nodes were derived by comparing the position of CTI corrected calibration lines (in adu) with their known energy. ... More details on the CTI and gain correction can be found in []. ...

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. ...
