... Abstract: We present an extensive study of the radiative transfer in dusty galaxies based on Monte Carlo simulations. ... We have explored the dependence of A_l on a conspicuous set of quantities (Hubble type, inclination, dust optical thickness, dust distribution and extinction properties) for a large wavelength interval, ranging from 1250A to the K band, thus finally providing a comprehensive atlas of dust extinction in galaxies, which is electronically available. ...

... Line radiative transfer in C 18 O, HCO + , and CS lines is considered in a spherically symmetric chemo-dynamical model of a starless core, evolution of which is driven by the ambipolar diffusion. Theoretical line profiles are compared to observational data on the well-known L1544 core, which is one of possible candidates for collapsing protostellar clouds. ... Comparison between modelled and observed spectra suggests that L1544 has flattened structure and is observed at some inclination. ...

As already indicated, V652Her is an important EHe star because its relatively short pulsation period and large amplitude pulsations allow its overall dimensions to be determined with high precision. ... Saio & Nomoto (1998) made the first successful models for the merger of two carbon-oxygen white dwarfs, and prompted Saio & Jeffery (2000) to attempt models for the merger of two helium white dwarfs. ...

... Using this model, I will show how AGN feedback affects the evolution of massive galaxies, causing them to become less massive, smaller, and redder. In addition, several observed relationships, including cosmic star formation rate density, galaxy luminosity function, and [alpha/Fe]-mass, can only begin to be reproduced when it is included. Finally, I will show how the enrichment history of massive galaxies and the IGM may be influenced by AGN feedback. ...

... 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. ...

... Paradoxically, signal detection is concerned with fitting models to supposedly random series similarly to mathematical proofs by reductio ad absurdum of the antithesis. ... The quality of the fit is evaluated using a function S of the series , , and . ... A random variable S is characterized by its probability distribution function. ... The special realization of a random series which consists of independent variables of common (gaussian) distribution is called (gaussian) white noise. ...

... Dark Matter Ring Modeled around Galaxy Cluster CL0024+17 . ... It is the relatively weak distortions of the many distant faint blue galaxies all over the image, however, that indicates the existence of the dark matter ring. ... A hypothesis for the formation of the huge dark matter ring holds that it is a transient feature formed when galaxy cluster CL0024+17 collided with another cluster of galaxies about one billion years ago, leaving a ring similar to when a rock is thrown in a pond. ...
