... 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. ...

... Radio source identifications . The Web-server of the Special Astrophysical Observatory supports the mirror version of the Clusters of Galaxies database . At present only the data about radio sources in ACO clusters of galaxies are reasonably complete, while only restricted optical information is in our database. Later on, we also intend to include X-ray data and data about brightest cluster galaxies (BCG). ... ACO: radio optic ( for example, A0690 and " optic "), . ...

As the Universe expands, gravity pulls on the Universe, and slows the expansion down over time. As we look to great distances, we are looking back in time. If we can measure how fast the Universe is expanding in the past, and compare it to how fast it is expanding now, we can see the total gravitational effect of all matter in the Universe. Here we plot the distance between two galaxies as a function of time. ... Universes with lots of material . ...

... Astrophysics Group . ... MRAO Telescopes . AMI . ... This is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) telelescope with a difference, in that it is designed to survey the sky looking for galaxy clusters by means of the ?shadows? they cast against the CMB. This shadowing, the so-called SZ effect, is a remarkable phenomenon because it is independent of redshift, allowing AMI to find clusters which are so far away that their own emission would be too faint to detect ? ...
