... Massive stars, having 10-150 masses of the Sun, with metallicities Z tens to hundreds times less than that of the Sun (Zo), are the main regulators of the galaxy formation and evolution processes in the early Universe. ... In this galaxy, using the 6 m BTA telescope, a new massive blue variable star with high luminosity (>=10 5 Sun's luminocities in visible light) was found. As far as its properties are concerned, this star falls into an LBV (Luminous Blue Variable) class of stars. ...

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. ...

... The analysis shows, that asteroid ­ rubble pile loses its fast fragments in no time but the retaining fragments forms a compact structure immersed in dust ­ gas atmosphere, created by interaction of interplanetary medium with dispersed product of collisional evolution of asteroid. By interaction of an asteroid ­ rubble pile with interplanetary medium structures asteroid can increase its brightness on account of blowed up dust simulating phenomenon of distant comet's brightening. ...

Close binary systems of the RS CVn and Algol type are characterized by a highly variable radio emission, from typical flux densities of a few mJy during low-activity (quiescent) periods, up to 1 Jy during strong flares. The origin of this radio emission is attributed to the gyrosynchrotron mechanism. Several observations of these stars have shown an evolution of the radio spectrum during both the rising and decay phases of flares. ...
