... We have used a coupled dynamical and chemical model to examine the chemical changes caused by the passage of a density wave propagating into the protostellar cloud. ... The chemical coupling between gas and dust causes locally increased number densities of active ra dicals, such as C, N, O, NH, and OH, and hydrogen saturated molecules CH 4 , NH 3 and H 2 O. We show that chemical evolution in the post-wave gas can account for the observed abundance of water and NH 3 observed in interstellar clouds. ...

http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/1996/22/text/ Probing the mysterious heart of the Crab Nebula, the tattered remains of a stellar cataclysm witnessed more than 900 years ago, astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have found that the Crab is even more dynamic than previously understood, based on a cosmic "movie" assembled from a series of Hubble observations. ... Because of this flickering, the neutron star is also called a "pulsar." ...

. Authors: A.A. Suchkov , V.A. Marakov . Journal: Pis'ma Astron. Zh., 1976, v.2, p.38-385. Metallisity function of globular clusters in the Galaxy is constructed. It is found to have three "humps". This leads to a conclusion that there were three metal enrichment outbursts during the period of globular cluster formation. The constraints on the nature of metal sourses and on the early evolution of Galaxy are considered.
