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. ...

... Previous: Substepping and its Application to HST Imaging . ... This is a preliminary report on an application of the co-addition technique based upon the Richardson-Lucy algorithm. The combination of high signal-to-noise ground-based images obtained with the ESO NTT using SUSI with high angular resolution HST FOC f/96 images gives new insights on the properties of galaxy cores and their potential time variability. Cores of galaxies are one of the main thrusts of present extragalactic research. ...

... The circumnuclear GASEOUS disks are often decoupled from the circumnuclear stellar disks and are even stronger inclined to the outer disk planes; in fact, we have found a considerable `population' of inner polar rings. Inner gas polar rings are found as in spiral galaxies with the massive outer gas disks co-planar to the main symmetry planes (e.g. NGC 2841, Sil'chenko et al. 1997, and NGC 7217, Sil'chenko & Afanasiev 2000) as well in many lenticular galaxies (Fig. ...

... The distribution of galactic RCB stars is controversial. Several authors have argued that they belong to a thick galactic disk, and are thus old Population I stars. ... However, their distribution and space velocities suggest they may alternatively belong to the even older galactic bulge (Population II, [ Drilling 1986 ]). ... These are the only RCB stars for which a distance is known and hence for which an absolute magnitude can be deduced. ...

... arXiv.org . ... Although great progress has been made in modelling the disk with radiative transfer models able to reproduce the spectral energy distribution (SED) of Herbig Ae stars, the constraints brought by images have not been yet fully exploited. Here, we are interested in checking if these new observational imaging constraints can be accounted for by predictions based on existing models of passive centrally irradiated hydrostatic disks made to fit the SEDs of the Herbig Ae stars. ...
