... In 1930, Trumpler noticed that linear diameters (LD) of open clusters increase with distance (D) from the Sun. ... Since that time, the interstellar absorption has become one of the best studied factor in astrophysics, and we may hope that current OCL distance scales are free from this LD-D correlation. To verify if this is the case we have chosen several modern OCL distance scales and test them with the same clusters and the same angular diameters that Trumpler had used back in 1930. ...

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. ...

... There are some generalizations of the classical Eisenbud-Levine-Khimshiashvili formula for the index of a singular point of an analytic vector field on $R^n$ to vector fields on singular varieties. ... For a variety with an isolated singularity, we define an index of a (real) 1-form on it. In the complex setting we define an index of a holomorphic 1-form on a complex isolated complete intersection singularity (icis) and express it as the dimension of a certain algebra. ...
