... Figure: Massive binary evolutionary track. ... A short glance to this track is sufficient to understand that there are a lot of evolutionary scenario parameters, which affect different stages of the binary evolution. Fortunately, a very limited number of parameters has effect on the compact binary merging rate. ... The most important (and practically unique) parameter changing the galactic binary NS merging rate is the distribution of an additional (kick) velocity imparted to NS at birth. ...

... The obtained results lead to the following conclusions: a) the heavy element enrichment had taken place in the Galaxy in a few bursts of its activity rether than in a continuons manner; b) these bursts occured during the callapse of the early Galaxy; c) the star formation had been inhibited in the time of the bursts; d) the metal enrichment did not proceed in the periods of star formation, between these bursts of activity. ...

... Programme . ... Abstract: Globular clusters can probe the formation history of galaxies by providing evidence for the chemical evolution and major episodes of star formation in their host galaxies, by examining their kinematic signatures, as well as their structural parameters. ... The giant elliptical NGC 5128 (Centaurus A), at a mere 4 Mpc away, gives us the only opportunity to study in extensive detail the globular cluster system of a recent merger galaxy. ...

... George Benedict, University of Texas at Austin . ... Abstract . ... Quasars at Redshift z=6 and Early Star Formation History . ... The cosmic distance scale and dark energy are two key issues in modern astrophysics, and HST has played a vital role in probing both. On the one hand, HST has been involved in cosmic distance measurements since its inception, largely through the H 0 Key Project, which used WFPC2 to identify and photometer Cepheids in 31 spiral galaxies at distances from 60 to 400 Mpc. ...

EVOLUTION OF GALACTIC DISCS: TWO MODES OF STAR FORMATION ABSTRACT We develop the model of the evolution of surface gas density, stellar density, star formation rates and chemical composition of galactic disc taking into account the gravitational instability of rotating gaseous layer in the scales of several kpc. ... In the model we took into account the gas return from evolved stars, a radial movement of the gas in a spiral arms and accretion of the gas into the galactic disc. ...

... Science Activities > PhD Thesis Topics offered by ESO Faculty Members > The Young Star Cluster Pismis 24 in ARA: a Laboratory of Star Formation and Massive Stars Evolution . ... Pismis 24 is a large star cluster in Ara, so far very poorly studied. ... The project involves a photometric study in the optical (UBVRI) and near-infrared (JHK) with the aim to derive the star formation history, update the census of early spectral type stars, and define the fundamental parameters of the association. ...

... Stellar Evolution is driven entirely by the never ending battle between Pressure and Gravity . As imbalances are reached, the star is driven to find a new Energy source. ... Pressure and gravitational forces are equal, the star is stable and its core is sufficiently hot to fuse Hydrogen into Helium More about main sequence stars . ... The luminosity generated by the core fusion of Helium into Carbon is far greater than the shell luminosity associated with the fusion of Hydrogen into Helium. ...

... Gomez, J. C., Athanassoula, L., Fuentes, O., & Bosma, A. 2003, in ASP Conf. ... In this work we present Evolution Strategies (ES) as an efficient method to approximate the initial conditions of the main interacting group of three galaxies in M81. ... In this first attempt we use non-self-gravitating simulations to approximate the initial conditions; even with that restriction our method reproduces the density distribution of the three galaxies with great precision. ...
