A Test of Galaxy Evolutionary Models Via Angular Sizes M. Im S. Casertano, R. E. Griffiths, & K. U. Ratnatunga (The Johns Hopkins University) The relationship between angular size, magnitude, and redshift of faint galaxies is explored as a potential tool to distinguish between different galaxy evolutionary models. ... The mild lumi­ nosity evolution model predicts more luminous galaxies of large angular size at high redshift, as does a standard no evolution model. ... 25) with redshift higher than z ? ...

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. ...

... Oke (AJ, 99, 1621, 1990) has provided absolute spectral energy distributions covering the wavelength range 3200 to 9200A in AB magnitudes for 25 stars. ... The reduced magnitudes are tabulated at 1A intervals from 3300 to 4700A and at 2A intervals from 4700 to 9200A. Comparison of the fluxes with those determined elsewhere showed that Oke's absolute magnitudes are systematically brighter by 0.04 mag. The magnitudes and fluxes plotted have been corrected for this effect. ...
