... Supernovae physics (from Wikipedia ): A supernova is a stellar explosion that creates an extremely luminous object that is initially made of plasma ionized form of matter. ... The explosion expels much or all of a star's material at a velocity of up to a tenth the speed of light, driving a shock wave into the surrounding interstellar gas. ... Working on a time series of images in the Large Magellanic Cloud he detected a flaring star, possibly a supernova located in a distant galaxy behind the LMC. ...

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. ...
