We explore variations in dust emission within the edge-on Sd spiral galaxy NGC 4631 using 3.6-160 ЮМm Spitzer Space Telescope data and 450-850 ЮМm JCMT data with the goals of understanding the relation between PAHs and dust emission, studying the variations in the colors of the dust emission, and searching for possible excess submillimeter emission compared to what is expected from dust models extrapolated from far-infrared wavelengths. ...

Chiaki Kobayashi, Ralph Sutherland How galaxies did form and evolution? - to answer this unsolved problem, we are simulating the formation and evolutionary history of galaxies in the Universe, including star formation, supernovae feedback, and chemical enrichment. Comparing the spacial distribution of elements within galaxies with observations, we will examine fundamental physical processes that drive galaxy formation. ...

Next: Summary and conclusions Up: Preliminary analysis of the Previous: Sky and redshift distribution . To get an estimate of the external accuracy of IPCS redshifts we compared our results for common galaxies with the redshifts from CfA catalog (Huchra et al. ... For 18 galaxies in common we have mean difference = -27 km s -1 with the error 16 km s -1 and the standard deviation = 64 km s -1 . This comparison indicates that most of IPCS redshifts have uncertainty less than 100 km s -1 . ...

No significant difference between SNe I and SNe II has been found in their radial distribution and frequency of outbursts in spiral galaxies. ... The radial distribution of type Ia SNe in spiral galaxies is only slightly steeper than the one for SNe II, while SNe Ib/c are more concentrated towards the central regions. ...

... One of the objectives of this work is to derive radial distribution of supernova remnant surface densities in spiral galaxies. ... Other objectives include the comparison of the SNR radial distribution with the radial distribution of HII regions to look for any association between Type II progenitors and the SNRs and comparison of the SNR distribution to the spiral arm patterns. ... Knowing the positions of the SNRs, we can compare their distributions relative to HII regions and spiral arms. ...

... 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 project of the informational system creation on the problem of evolution of radio galaxies, as a part of the "Big Trio" project aimed on studing of distant radio galaxies, is designed. This system allows a user to operate with simulated curves of spectral energy distributions (SED) to estimate ages and redshifts by photometry data. Authors use SEDs of several models for different types of galaxies. ... The HTTP and e-mail access is organized to this system. ...
