... This motivated the SAGE-SMC (Surveying the Agents of Galaxy Evolution in the Tidally Stripped, Low Metallicity Small Magellanic Cloud) Spitzer Legacy program with the specific goals of studying the amount and type of dust in the present interstellar medium, the sources of dust in the winds of evolved stars, and how much dust is consumed in star formation. ...

... 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. ...

I will present theresults from a deep, extended, planetary nebulae survey in a 0.5 sqdeg region centered on the brightest cluster galaxy NGC 4486 (M87) in the Virgo cluster core, carried out with SuprimeCam@Subaru and FLAMES-GIRAFFE@VLT. ... A substructure detected in the projected phase-space of the line-of-sight velocity vs. major axis distance for the M87 halo planetary nebulae provides evidence for the recent accretion event of a satellite galaxy with luminosity twice that of M33. ...

Next: The stage and Up: The ESO Red Sky Previous: Artefacts . Fig. 3 shows the distribution of stars. The most striking feature is the rapid steepening of the density gradient towards the Milky Way region at the right and left hand edges of the total field, apparent from the dramatic change in colour in this false colour presentation. Noticable changes in star density across even short distances are indicated by colour changes within individual plates. ... Fig. ...

... Research . ... The major problem in HVC research is the unknown distance towards most of the HVCs. ... Thilker et al. (2004) used the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) to map an area of $7^{\circ} \times 7^{\circ}$ around M31 in H i . They discovered a population of HVCs located within a projected distance of about $50~\mathrm{kpc}$ from M31. ... 2004). ... The remaining HVCs around M31 are isolated in position and velocity and may represent primordial, dark-matter-dominated clouds. ...

... We can investigate projection of this distribution onto the celestial sphere in two ways: in terms of lines of constant SN frequencies per one square degree for all galaxies from the sample (Figure 36 ), and in terms of constant GW amplitudes at a given SN frequency per square degree (Figure 44 ). ... Figure 45: The sky distribution of the total supernova frequency from nearby galaxies in terms of lines of equal frequencies per square degree. ...

... Since the pioneering work of Markarian ([ 1967 ]) objective prism surveys were recognized as a powerful tool to search for galaxies of various types of activity. ... Of special interest are blue compact galaxies (BCGs). ... A third sample of BCGs of Popescu et al.

Models of galaxy formation and evolution within the Ю?-CDM paradigm can be tested against their predictions on the number and properties of dwarf galaxies and in particular stellar systems highly dominated by dark matter. ... The authors argue that the third possibility is the most likely one and hence SECCO1 would be a new faint dwarf galaxy residing in the Virgo cluster of galaxies. ...

... The analysis of two-dimensional galaxy distribution in the Jagiellonian Field (JF) was carried out by the wavelet technique. The positions of galaxies were taken from the Revised Jagiellonian Field Catalogue (RJFC) based on digitized scans of the JF original photographic plates.
