A Test of Galaxy Evolutionary Models Via Angular Sizes M. Im S. Casertano, R. E. Griffiths, & K. U. Ratnatunga (The Johns Hopkins University) The relationship between angular size, magnitude, and redshift of faint galaxies is explored as a potential tool to distinguish between different galaxy evolutionary models. ... The mild lumi­ nosity evolution model predicts more luminous galaxies of large angular size at high redshift, as does a standard no evolution model. ... 25) with redshift higher than z ? ...

An image of the grand design of spiral galaxy M100 obtained with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope resolves individual stars within the majestic spiral arms. ... Hubble has the ability to resolve individual stars in other galaxies and measure accurately the light from very faint stars. This makes space telescope invaluable for identifying a rare class of pulsating stars, called Cepheid Variable stars embedded within M100's spiral arms. ... 617) 495-7062 . Fax: (617) 495-7356 . ...

Table: Strongly interacting pairs of spirals . ... But in these galaxies the cold gas which feeds the starburst is driven inwards by strong tidal interaction or merging between galaxies (see e.g., Rieke et al. 1985), whereas in the nearby galaxies, bars and/or weak galaxy interactions may be responsible. ...

... The BM effect causes low-luminosity blazars (particularly BL Lacs) to be missed in surveys because the apparent luminosity of the non-thermal nuclear source does not exceed that of the host galaxy by a large factor. ...

... Line radiative transfer in C 18 O, HCO + , and CS lines is considered in a spherically symmetric chemo-dynamical model of a starless core, evolution of which is driven by the ambipolar diffusion. Theoretical line profiles are compared to observational data on the well-known L1544 core, which is one of possible candidates for collapsing protostellar clouds. ... Comparison between modelled and observed spectra suggests that L1544 has flattened structure and is observed at some inclination. ...
