... Stellar Evolution is driven entirely by the never ending battle between Pressure and Gravity . As imbalances are reached, the star is driven to find a new Energy source. ... Pressure and gravitational forces are equal, the star is stable and its core is sufficiently hot to fuse Hydrogen into Helium More about main sequence stars . ... The luminosity generated by the core fusion of Helium into Carbon is far greater than the shell luminosity associated with the fusion of Hydrogen into Helium. ...

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. ...

Studies of the Planck data set with optical and sub-mm follow-up observations give new insights about the early assembly of the first clusters, and the later evolution of their gas content as well as of their population of star-forming galaxies. ...

... Luminous blue variable (LBV) stars are the most massive stars with 40-120 solar masses, which are passing the short stage of evolution losing their hydrogen envelopes before exploding as Supernovae. These are extremely rare objects, only about a dozen of the most massive LBVs are known in the Galaxy. ... In the spectral observations of stars with infrared circular nebulae, found in the Spitzer survey (24 microns), a new LBV star in the Galaxy was discovered. It was named MN112. ...

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. ...

Nova Herculis 1991, shown in this PSPC image, is a fast, high inclination, long period nova which contains a massive white dwarf and is part of an eclipsing binary system. Novae occur as part of the evolution of a close binary system in which the stars have different masses, i.e. a main sequence star and a white dwarf. Mass is accreted onto the white dwarf which eventually ignites runaway thermonuclear reactions which blow off the outer layers of the star. ...

... 601Artyukh A survey of compact ( q < 1") radio sources is being made with the Large Phased Array (LPA) of Lebedev Physical Institute. ... The survey of scintillating radio sources in two areas of 7C survey has enabled to detect 414 compact sources, 380 of them 92% were detect first. The scintillating source count (from observations of two areas) has confirmed the decrease of the compact radio sources density for weak flux densities, which we found from observations of the first area. ...
