... The search for distant objects which can be both galaxies and quasars is one of the most important problems of observational astrphysics, because it allows one to determine cosmological parameters connected with the time of appearence and evolution of stellar systems, large scale structure of the Universe. ... Radio galaxies are important objects to be studied because they are sources of infrared-optical-ultraviolet continuum, emission lines and continual radio emission. ...

These clusters are probably young versions of globular clusters, but they are commonly called super star clusters. Seven dwarf galaxies within 16 million light-years have formed super star clusters, with one of these galaxies, NGC 1569, possessing two young clusters. ... Super star clusters have a lot to tell us about star formation. ...

... A Statistical Comparison of Line Strength Variations in Coma and Cluster Galaxies at z 0.3 . ... We present a statistical comparison between spectral line strength variations in Coma galaxies and galaxies in three rich clusters at z 0.3. ... First, more independent parameters are required to account for the line strength variations in the distant cluster data than in the Coma data, and second, line strengths which are not correlated in the distant cluster data are strongly coupled in the Coma data. ...
