We present a database of UV-to-FIR data of 83 nearby starburst galaxies. ... The NIR data are from new observations obtained at the NASA/IRTF and the Mount Laguna Observatory, combined with the published results from observations at the Kitt Peak National Observatory. ... In conjunction with IRAS and ISO FIR flux densities, all these data form a set of observed spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the nuclear regions of nearby starburst galaxies. ...

... Circinus is a nearby spiral galaxy only 4 degrees below the Galactic plane. ... Jones et al. (1996, in prep.) and Koribalski Whiteoak (1996) only recently mapped Circinus with several configurations of the ATCA; a few preliminary results are presented here. ... The elongated central disk (length about 5 arcmin) indicates a bar, and the central `hole' is caused by HI absorption against the bright central region of Circinus. ...

... According to the most popular cosmological paradigm, the greater part of the galaxy mass is accumulated in the dark matter halo. ... The polar ring galaxies (PRGs) reveal external rings or disks of gas, dust and stars rotating in a plane roughly perpendicular to the disk of the central galaxy. ... The shape of the dark halo in the model was chosen so as to achieve the best fit to the observed rotation of both galaxies themselves and their polar rings. ... The SPRC-7 galaxy. ...

... Our resulting sample of ELGs presented in Tables 2 and 3 is not artificially biased to any specific type of galaxies. ... Since we are looking for selection of a sample of Case BCGs, it is interesting to examine how the detected BCGs are connected with Case emission-line codes. ... Altogether BCGs comprise about 60 % of all Case ELGs which display emission lines in our spectra, or about 44 % of all Case galaxies with some emission-line code. ... Among those with the code ``w'' about 40 % are BCGs. ...

... Abstract: We present Monte Carlo radiative transfer simulations for spiral galaxies modelled as a stellar disk and a two-phase clumpy dust distribution. ... As a general result, clumpy models are less opaque than the corresponding homogeneous models. ... 0.00 0.15 0.50 0.1 0.5 1.0 2.0 5.0 10.0 0.25 X . ... We have also produced several homogeneous models, to compare to the clumpy models. ... Homogeneous and clumpy models with the same tauV have the same dust mass. ...

The radial distribution of metallicity of star-forming galaxies in a galaxy cluster can inform us about the mass assembly and enrichment history of the galaxy cluster. ... Both galaxy clusters are cool-core clusters at redshift z т?? ... The gas-phase metallicity of star- forming galaxies in MACS1115+01 exhibit anti-correlation with projected distance т??0.15 ТБ 0.08 dex/Mpc, whereas the radial metallicity distribution of RXJ1532+30 is statistically flat (т??0.09 ТБ 0.12 dex/Mpc). ...

... Resolved Stellar Populations Globular Clusters . Galaxies are made of stars, gas and the illusive dark matter. ... Star clusters are the simplest form of the stellar population. ... Old globular clusters are easily observed at great distances and can be used as probes of the early stages of star formation history in galaxies where individual stars cannot be resolved. My research interests are centered on the studies of resolved stellar populations and (old) star clusters in nearby galaxies. ...

The parameters of the model resulted from a numerical fitting of various data, such as the observed distribution of the young star population and neutral hydrogen, the density of population II stars in the vicinity of the Sun, the galactic rotation curve and the dynamics and distribution of globular clusters   and dwarf irregular satellites of the Galaxy. ...

... 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. ...
