... 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. ...

Constraining the Cosmic Mass Density from the SBF Survey Peculiar Velocities J.P. Blakeslee et al. University of Durham, U.K. The recently completed I-band Surface Brightness Fluctuations (SBF) Survey of Galaxy Distances includes high-quality distance measurements to nearly 300 early-type galaxies within 4000 km/s. We compare the peculiar velocities observed in this survey with those predicted from the galaxy density eld found in ux-limited redshift surveys. ...
