... 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 ...

To construct two-dimension distribution of minor planets user should specify elements/ parameters/ function that will be plotted as abscissas and ordinates. In three-dimension case one should add to them the element plotted on Z axis. ... Though you may choose elements plotted along different axes at will, often there is good reason to plot such elements as a, n, or n" along X axis (two-dimension distributions) and to plot them along Y axis in three-dimension case. ...

The aim of this section of the course is to enable you to use simple computer programs to solve a variety of common astronomical tasks. ...
