We present a database of UV-to-FIR data of 83 nearby starburst galaxies. ... The NIR data are from new observations obtained at the NASA/IRTF and the Mount Laguna Observatory, combined with the published results from observations at the Kitt Peak National Observatory. ... In conjunction with IRAS and ISO FIR flux densities, all these data form a set of observed spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the nuclear regions of nearby starburst galaxies. ...

B?rbel Koribalski ( ATNF ) . ... The Grus-Quartet consists of four large spiral galaxies which are so close to each other that they should be interacting. The high starburst activity of two of the members, namely NGC 7552 and NGC 7582, is also thought to arise from tidal galaxy-galaxy interactions and subsequent formation of a bar in the disk. ...

... According to the most popular cosmological paradigm, the greater part of the galaxy mass is accumulated in the dark matter halo. ... The polar ring galaxies (PRGs) reveal external rings or disks of gas, dust and stars rotating in a plane roughly perpendicular to the disk of the central galaxy. ... The shape of the dark halo in the model was chosen so as to achieve the best fit to the observed rotation of both galaxies themselves and their polar rings. ... The SPRC-7 galaxy. ...

... The formation of the disks of disk galaxies remains poorly understood. ... Many disk galaxies have only the thin disk component, with no bulge or significant thick disk. ... Almost all disk galaxies have an exponential radial surface brightness distribution. The reason for this exponential form is not known; nor is it known when the exponential form is established. ... We would compare low redshift galaxies observed in the I band with galaxies at z =0.5 in the J band and at z =1 in the H band. ...

... Abstract: We present Monte Carlo radiative transfer simulations for spiral galaxies modelled as a stellar disk and a two-phase clumpy dust distribution. ... As a general result, clumpy models are less opaque than the corresponding homogeneous models. ... 0.00 0.15 0.50 0.1 0.5 1.0 2.0 5.0 10.0 0.25 X . ... We have also produced several homogeneous models, to compare to the clumpy models. ... Homogeneous and clumpy models with the same tauV have the same dust mass. ...

... Our resulting sample of ELGs presented in Tables 2 and 3 is not artificially biased to any specific type of galaxies. ... Since we are looking for selection of a sample of Case BCGs, it is interesting to examine how the detected BCGs are connected with Case emission-line codes. ... Altogether BCGs comprise about 60 % of all Case ELGs which display emission lines in our spectra, or about 44 % of all Case galaxies with some emission-line code. ... Among those with the code ``w'' about 40 % are BCGs. ...

... We can investigate projection of this distribution onto the celestial sphere in two ways: in terms of lines of constant SN frequencies per one square degree for all galaxies from the sample (Figure 36 ), and in terms of constant GW amplitudes at a given SN frequency per square degree (Figure 44 ). ... Figure 45: The sky distribution of the total supernova frequency from nearby galaxies in terms of lines of equal frequencies per square degree. ...

... The formation of multiple images of a distant quasar by the gravitational lensing effect of a foreground galaxy may be very simply, and faithfully, accounted for by a wine glass experiment. Figure 1. In the wine glass experiment, a bright compact light source (at the top of the photo) serves as a distant quasar. The wine glass on the table distorts the light rays from the "quasar" and produces a caustic having with a triangular shape (see enlargement in Figure 3 ). ...
