... 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. ...

K-band Arcetri Obscured Supernova Search . What is the KAOSS Project? W hat is the KAOSS Project? Some recent surveys aimed at detecting Supernovae (SNe) in the optical have found that starburst galaxies do not show evidence for an enhanced SN rate, with respect to quiescent galaxies (Richmond et al. ... A similar result was obtained by Navasardyan et al. (2001) who looked for SNe in interacting galaxies, finding no evidence for correlations between SN rate and galaxy properties. ...

Search for the youngest galaxies and the problems of galaxy formation . During 2 last years of work on the search for new galaxies in the phase of first star formation (SF) burst there were carried out spectral observations of 39 blue compact galaxies (BCGs) - candidates to the most metal deficient unevolved galaxies. 23 of them indeed have appeared new metal-poor galaxies with the oxygen abundance (O/H) (as an indicator of chemical evolution) less than 1/10 of the solar value. ...
