The evolution of galaxies is driven by the intricate power play between magnetically driven turbulence and the mass and gravity of its comprising gas and dust, a system which governs the formation of stars in the dense cores of the interstellar medium s giant molecular clouds. ... This results in separate relations for the star formation rate depending on the Mach number of the medium, differing from each other by up to an order of magnitude. ...

... Observations of the Moon eclipse on 17.09.97 have shown the Moon details contrasts had decreased and the total radio brightness had fallen at all observed frequency range (from 10% at 1.38 sm down to 2.5% at 13 sm).

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. ...

Truly it is a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy. ...

... All the galaxies are divided into 4 groups depending on the environment type; every subsample contains more than 10 galaxies. ... An effect of environments is seen both for the nuclei and for the bulges: if we consider the clusters (Virgo and Ursa Ma jor) and group centers as dense environments and the field and group periphery as sparse environments, then in the dense environments the stellar populations of S0s are in average older by 4­5 Gyr than in the sparse ones. ...

... The distribution of galactic RCB stars is controversial. Several authors have argued that they belong to a thick galactic disk, and are thus old Population I stars. ... However, their distribution and space velocities suggest they may alternatively belong to the even older galactic bulge (Population II, [ Drilling 1986 ]). ... These are the only RCB stars for which a distance is known and hence for which an absolute magnitude can be deduced. ...
