... For a semple of red giants comprising about 2000 stars, the distributions of metallicity [Fe/H] are given. ... The center of the distributions of giants in both galactic poles is found to demonstate a statisticaly significant gap similar to the one found earlier for the late main-sequence stars. The implications of the metallicity distribution properties for the problems of the chemical evolution of the galactic disk are discussed. ...

Next: Access to Data Sources and the ESO SkyCat Tool . ... We describe an implementation of Dynamic Queries (DQ), a recently developed method as an alternative to the perceived complicated SQL-type operations on relational databases by a very intuitive graphical interface. This prototype implementation, written within the NEMO package, uses ASCII sliders and the PGPLOT graphics interface and uses a novel interactive analysis back-end tool that is dynamically associated with the query. ...

We fit the near-infrared to radio spectral energy distributions of 30 luminous and ultra-luminous infrared galaxies with pure starburst models or models that include both starburst and AGN components to determine important physical parameters for this population of objects. In particular we constrain the optical depth towards the luminosity source, the star formation rate, the star formation efficiency and the AGN fraction. ...
