The central velocity dispersion represents the internal motions of the stars along a column crossing the center of a galaxy or star cluster. ... The catalogue of collected velocity dispersions may be accessed in HyperLeda. vdis is the velocity dispersion given in km/s. The velocity dispersion gives to some approximation the scale for the specific kinetic energy contained in in un-ordered motions and combined with the velocity of rotation it may give an estimate of the specific kinetic energy. ...

... The regions can be specified via the outunit parameter in either of two projection-plane coordinate systems, namely `detxy' and `xy'. ... The first choice corresponds to columns DETX and DETY of the standard XMM EPIC event list, the second to columns X and Y . ... This information is obtained from keywords in the header of the supplied event list. ... If outunit is given as `detxy' and if the supplied source list is a standard XMM EPIC product then in principle the event list is unnecessary. ...

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. ...

... Our Milky Way galaxy is host to a number of companions. These companions are gravitationally bound to the Milky Way and are stellar systems in their own right. They include a population of about 150 globular clusters (GCs) and some 30 dwarf satellite galaxies (DSGs). ... These DSGs are more extended and diffuse compared to GCs. In fact the larger satellites of the Milky Way (and other galaxies, for that matter) host their own small systems of GCs. ...
