... Searches for Star Formation in Damped Systems . ... The objective was to measure the star-formation rates in these systems. However, no H emission was detected above our limits of Wm -2 , corresponding to star formation rates ( q 0 =0.5). ... For q 0 =0.5 our limits are in conflict with the star formation rates predicted under the assumption that the high- z DLAs are the fully-formed galactic-disk counterparts of today's massive spiral galaxies. ...

Yu.V.Lunyova, A.F.Kholtygin . Chemical evolution of the system of galactic planetrary nebulae , Astrophysics , 45 , 451-463 (2002) . Chemical evolution of the system of galactic planetary nebulae beginning from the early age of the Galaxy is investigated. We calculate radial and vertical abundance gradients of C, N, O, Ne, Ar, Cl and S depending of different ages of the central star of the nebula. It have been founded statistically significant dependence of abundance gradients with the age of central star.
