... Initially SAI Supernova Catalogue was presented in the form of filebased system. ... The current version of SAI Supernova Catalogue presents data on supernovae together with data on their parent galaxies. ... The main source of data for the galaxies was LEDA database. ... In some cases our data were compared with the ones from the Asiago Supernova Catalogue and from List of Supernovae at Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, but the compilation of our Catalogue is carried out independently. ...

K-band Arcetri Obscured Supernova Search . What is the KAOSS Project? W hat is the KAOSS Project? Some recent surveys aimed at detecting Supernovae (SNe) in the optical have found that starburst galaxies do not show evidence for an enhanced SN rate, with respect to quiescent galaxies (Richmond et al. ... A similar result was obtained by Navasardyan et al. (2001) who looked for SNe in interacting galaxies, finding no evidence for correlations between SN rate and galaxy properties. ...

Next: Proposed Facility Up: You are the Institute Previous: You are the Institute . Your main research interests lie in the very first stars and galaxies to form. Ever since those chaps at Caltech started finding large numbers of galaxies at redshifts up to about 6, the astronomical world has been in a frenzy of theoretical and observational activity. ... You, therefore, have turned your interest where nobody else has dared look: to really high redshifts. ...

... Neutral hydrogen observations of the spiral galaxies NGC 6221 and NGC 6215 with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) reveal a wide, two-stranded bridge of at least 3 x 10^8 Msun which can be traced between the two galaxies over a projected distance of 100 kpc. ... The color figure below shows the HI emission (blue) in the bridge velocity range overlaid onto an optical image. ... A tidal HI bridge is visible between NGC 6221 and its brightest neighbour, NGC 6215 (v_sys = 1555 km/s). ...

... We are exploring the evolution of massive binary star populations for a nuclear starburst occuring in the conditions similar to the Milky Way galaxy, in its central part, on a time scale of 10 Myr. ... Our results include the number of X-ray transients (NS + main sequence star), super-accreting black holes (BHs), and binaries consisting of a BH + supergiant, all as functions of time. ...

... A Galactic Star Forming Region in Infrared . ... Credit: S. Carey ( SSC/Caltech ), JPL-Caltech , NASA Explanation: How do stars form? To help study this complex issue, astronomers took a deep image in infrared light of an active part of our Milky Way Galaxy where star formation is rampant. ... The image , though, taken last year by the Spitzer Space Telescope in infrared light , shows vast glowing fields of gas and dust, indicating that much of this dust is heated by forming stars. ...
