The dust properties in the Large and Small Magellanic clouds (LMC/SMC) are studied using the HERITAGE Herschel Key Project photometric data in five bands from 100 to 500 m. Three simple models of dust emission were fit to the observations: a single temperature blackbody modified by a power-law emissivity (SMBB), a single temperature blackbody modified by a broken power-law emissivity (BEMBB), and two blackbodies with different temperatures, both modified by the same power-law emissivity (TTMBB). ...

The problem of eXtremely-Metal Deficient (XMD) galaxy ages. ... Problem of ages of XMD galaxies is addressed through the comparison of colours of stars in their outer regions (where one can neglect the effect of recent star-formation activity), with model tracks of evolving stellar populations from, e.g., the popular package PEGASE.2 (Fioc Rocca-Volmerange 1999). For some of XMD galaxies, the contribution of nebular emission in the light of outer regions is negligible or invisible. ...

... We give evidence that lower pressure model chromospheres can alos reproduce the Balmer line profiles, but give Lyman surface fluxes overestimated by more than an order of magnitude. ... We obtain the Paschen lines in emission and Paschen decrements as large as 41 for Pa$_{\beta}$. ... Formation of all Hydrogen series is collisionally controlled and takes place in a rather thin layer at the top of the chromosphere (Balmer, Paschen, and Brackett) or in the transition region (Lyman). ...

The compression of the cloud of gas in star forming . ... These data have allowed us to create the dynamic model of the cloud of gas, around this object. ... The results on H2CO absorption lines (figure 1) have shown, that the central part of the cloud represents a clumped envelope of diameter 9 pc with radial velocity 20 km/s. The relation of radial velosity of absorption line and the whole object have allowed simple to define the direction of radial movement - itis compression. ...
