Welcome to the home page of the Late Stages of Stellar Evolution" We are a research group which operates within the Astrophysics Group of the Australia Telescope National Facility. ... To investigate the late stages of stellar evolution and in particular the role of stellar mass-loss in the evolution of asymptotic giant branch stars, proto-planetary nebulae and extremely massive stars. ...

... We consider stars with a constant (solar) initial chemical composition. Before the Roche lobe overflow, the components evolve as single stars (see for details LPP96). ... If the mass transfer onto a normal star occurs on a time-scale ten time shorter than the thermal Kelvin-Helmholz time for this star or a compact star is engulfed by a giant companion (e.g. as a result of the kick), the common envelope (CE) stage of the binary evolution is set in (Paczynski 1976). ...

Welcome to the Starburst and Galaxy Evolution website.

... Stellar Evolution is driven entirely by the never ending battle between Pressure and Gravity . As imbalances are reached, the star is driven to find a new Energy source. ... Pressure and gravitational forces are equal, the star is stable and its core is sufficiently hot to fuse Hydrogen into Helium More about main sequence stars . ... The luminosity generated by the core fusion of Helium into Carbon is far greater than the shell luminosity associated with the fusion of Hydrogen into Helium. ...

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. ...

Close binary systems of the RS CVn and Algol type are characterized by a highly variable radio emission, from typical flux densities of a few mJy during low-activity (quiescent) periods, up to 1 Jy during strong flares. The origin of this radio emission is attributed to the gyrosynchrotron mechanism. Several observations of these stars have shown an evolution of the radio spectrum during both the rising and decay phases of flares. ...

... 601Artyukh A survey of compact ( q < 1") radio sources is being made with the Large Phased Array (LPA) of Lebedev Physical Institute. ... The survey of scintillating radio sources in two areas of 7C survey has enabled to detect 414 compact sources, 380 of them 92% were detect first. The scintillating source count (from observations of two areas) has confirmed the decrease of the compact radio sources density for weak flux densities, which we found from observations of the first area. ...

... According to modern views on the evolution and origin of stars, most of the stars are members of binary systems. ... After the second explosion, the pairs tend to break up and neutron stars and/or black holes fly apart. High velocities of radio pulsars are apparently largely due to this effect. ... For all possible pairs the probability of trajectory approach at small distances for the epoch, corresponding to the age of the younger pulsar have been evaluated. ... Pulsars J0543+2329 and J0528+2200. ...

CIMA is more than just the observing tool - in fact, the observing tool is just a part of a bigger package called the CIMA software package. ... There is also a another package called the CIMA WAPP software which contains the WAPP software, the special Tcl/Tk interpreter used by CIMA and support libraries. ... All CIMA software components recognize the following general options that are part of the CIMA version selection system: . ... The select_cima script can be used to set up a default version. ...

... The analysis shows, that asteroid ­ rubble pile loses its fast fragments in no time but the retaining fragments forms a compact structure immersed in dust ­ gas atmosphere, created by interaction of interplanetary medium with dispersed product of collisional evolution of asteroid. By interaction of an asteroid ­ rubble pile with interplanetary medium structures asteroid can increase its brightness on account of blowed up dust simulating phenomenon of distant comet's brightening. ...

To make progress in understanding the processes that govern dwarf galaxy evolution, we need to study systems beyond the Local Group. ...
