... The main field of our team interests is the researching of galaxy clusters as well as single nearby galaxies. The galaxies and galaxy clusters, being gravitationaly bound and reliably distinguishable systems, allow us to determine their global physical characteristics. At the same time they are integrated as elements into higher level spatial structures or systems. ... Вack to main homepage . ...

... Astrophysics Group . ... MRAO Telescopes . AMI . ... This is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) telelescope with a difference, in that it is designed to survey the sky looking for galaxy clusters by means of the ?shadows? they cast against the CMB. This shadowing, the so-called SZ effect, is a remarkable phenomenon because it is independent of redshift, allowing AMI to find clusters which are so far away that their own emission would be too faint to detect ? ...

... The overall globular cluster population is divided by gap in the metallicity function at [Fe/H]=-1.0 into two discrete groups with well-defined maxima at [Fe/H]=-1.60?0.03 dex, and -0.60?0.04 dex. ... Clusters with extremely blue horizontal branches occupy a spherical volume of radius ~ 9 kpc, have high rotational velocities ( V rot =77?33 km/s), have substantial and equal negative radial and vertical metallicity gradients, and are, on average, the oldest group (the old-halo subsystem). ...

... LMC Project Outline . NGC 1818 Initial Results . ... The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is uniquely suitable for the study of massive star clusters at all stages of evolution. By combining HST observations of these clusters with N-body models we hope to understand the origin and evolution of rich star clusters in our own Galaxy, in the LMC, and beyond. ... We aim to combine our HST observations with N-body models to understand the formation and evolution of globular clusters. ...

Clusters of galaxies are the largest gravitationally bounded structures in the Universe dominated by dark matter. We review the observational appearance and physical models of plasma structures in clusters of galaxies. ... The knowledge of the complex dynamical and feedback processes is necessary to understand the energy and matter balance as well as to constrain the role of the non-thermal components of clusters. ...

Clusters of galaxies are the largest gravitationally bound systems in the Universe. ... It is reasonable to test the basic concepts which will be incorporated in the database using A/ACO clusters of galaxies (Abell 1958; Abell, Corwin, & Olowin 1989). ...

. The seminar is supported by the grant of Federal Programm "Integration" . annotation of talk . Yu.N.Efremov "GRBs and triggered star formation" . Evidences are presented that giant arcs of young stars and clusters are formed in the gas swepted-up by GRBs near their centres. Multiple arcs suggested that the source of GRBs progenitors is in the same region, this must be old massive cluster. The candidate cluster for the arcs in the LMC is suggested.
