Operating of the superconducting integrated receiver channel of the TELIS atmospheric sounder. ... The noise temperature of the SIR was measured to be as low as 120 K, with an intermediate frequency band of 4 ­ 8 GHz in double sideband operation; the spectral resolution is well below 1 MHz. The SIR was implemented in the three-channel balloon-borne instrument TELIS (TErahertz and submillimeter LImb Sounder) that detects spectral emission lines of stratospheric trace gases (like ClO and BrO). ...

... I will touch upon the following points: ­ fast evolution of the sizes of quiescent (elliptical) galaxies between z = 2 and z = 1; ­ prolonged star formation histories of dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the Local Group; ­ apparent lack of external sources of cold gas accretion for the nearby spiral galaxies; ­ old stellar ages and magnesium overabundance of the large-scale disks of nearby lenticular galaxies. ... This discovery has challenged the recognized scenarios of elliptical galaxy evolution. ...

Distant globular clusters with anomalously small masses. ... We found that 10 metal-poor globular clusters are greately distinguished for anomalously small masses on the "destruction rate-mass" plain. ... Note that 10 distant clusters of anomalously small mass selected by us proved to be younger and with an average metallicity <[Fe/H]> = -1.36 ? ... It looks as if only far from the centre of the Galaxy, conditions are created that lead to formation of globular clusters with anomalously small masses. ...

. Comment on J1842+7946 . Comparing the brightnesses of the two main features seen in our 5 GHz image with higher frequency VLBI images available in the literature (at 8.4 GHz from the USNO database and at 15 GHz by Kellermann et al. (1998)), one can conclude that the NW component has a steeper spectrum since the SE one becomes relatively stronger as the observing frequency increases. VLBApls home page . Last modified: 16 Oct 2000
