... All the galaxies are divided into 4 groups depending on the environment type; every subsample contains more than 10 galaxies. ... An effect of environments is seen both for the nuclei and for the bulges: if we consider the clusters (Virgo and Ursa Ma jor) and group centers as dense environments and the field and group periphery as sparse environments, then in the dense environments the stellar populations of S0s are in average older by 4­5 Gyr than in the sparse ones. ...

. The lower mirage. The lower mirages occur when the air layers at the Earth surface are so hot (for example in deserts), that the light beams coming from the object are greatly twised. Drawing the arch they are coming upwards. Thus we can see houses and trees as it reflected in the water. In reality they are the transformed images of far away landscapes. The lower mirages may be seen even on the burning hot hard-surface road. Back .

... In result, we obtained the GA constant. ... So, we use the results of the observations of Galactic ob jects to improve A. Our previous estimate of the GA constant (Malkin 2011) yields the values of R0 = 8.2 kpc, 0 = 29.5 km s-1 kpc-1 , and A = 5.02 µas/yr. ... So, the results published in 2008­2013 were used to derive the final estimate of the GA constant. ... We have applied several statistical techniques mostly used in physics and metrology to these data, as described in Malkin (2012, 2013). ...
