This process is thought to occur in circumstellar disks of gas and dust around young stars on rather short timescales : infrared surveys show that the number of low mass stars with disks drops dramatically for stars older than 10 Myr, suggesting that in order to form large solids before the disk disperses, the growth process has to take place within a few million years. ...

... 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. ...

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. ...
