A Canadian and American team of Astronomers have used the 305-m wide Arecibo radio dish, the world's largest and most sensitive radio telescope, to uncover a dozen new super-fast-spinning pulsars. The team directed their search for these rare and exotic stars by pointing the Arecibo radio telescope towards massive star clusters, called Globular Clusters, orbiting our Milky Way galaxy. ... One of the most exotic residents in the Globular cluster system are the millisecond pulsars. ...

... The SN 1998bv discovered on April 6, 1998 in the blue compact galaxy HS 1035+4758 is the second supernova observed in a low-mass galaxy with intense SF burst. ... According to its characteristic spectrum, SN 1998bv is a type II supernova with estimated peak absolute brightness M 16.3. The very slow fading of its brightness suggests that the SN was discovered at the Plateau phase, 20-30 days after the peak of the light curve. The most probable classification of SN 1998bv is regular SN II-P. 3. ...

... We address a question if globular clusters (GC) in a protogalaxy could for some time evolve chemically as isolated systems, enriching themselves with heavy elements produced in first supernova events that follow initial star formation. We determine both the critical mass of a protoglobular cluster that is needed to retain the ejecta of the very first supernova, and the critical energy (i.e., number of supernovae) that is needed to expel the residual gas from a cluster of a given mass. ...

... We found that 10 metal-poor globular clusters are greately distinguished for anomalously small masses on the "destruction rate-mass" plain. As it turned out, these poor clusters, situated 15 kpc farther from the Galactic centre, are somewhat younger than the bulk of the metal-poor globulars, and have anomalously red horizontal branches. ... At the same time, deficiency of distant massive clusters is noticeable with increasing distance from the galactic centre. ...
