Next: Implementing a New Data Archive Paradigm to Face HST Increased Data Flow . ... There have been two generations of archive systems (DMF and DADS) and user interfaces (STARCAT and StarView). In this paper, we describe recent projects and future directions in the continued evolution of the HST Archive. ... StarView is supported in CRT and X/Motif modes on Sun and Digital platforms. ... We continue to improve the HST Archive systems-DADS, StarView, and the new Web interface. ...

Using the data obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope as part of the Surveying the Agents of a Galaxy's Evolution (SAGE) legacy survey, we have studied the variations of the dust composition and abundance across the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). ... Using a model and comparing with a reference spectral energy distribution from our Galaxy, we deduce the relative abundance variations of small dust grains across the LMC. ...

... The analysis shows, that asteroid ­ rubble pile loses its fast fragments in no time but the retaining fragments forms a compact structure immersed in dust ­ gas atmosphere, created by interaction of interplanetary medium with dispersed product of collisional evolution of asteroid. By interaction of an asteroid ­ rubble pile with interplanetary medium structures asteroid can increase its brightness on account of blowed up dust simulating phenomenon of distant comet's brightening. ...

... 88, Jan. 1983, p. 1-15. l. A survey of extragalactic radio sources made using driven declination scans is reported covering an area of about 0.07 sr to a limiting flux density of 35 mJy. The fast-scan survey was carried out at a galactic latitude greater than 17 deg with the NRAO 91-m telescope operating at 4.755 GHz, and the 480 sources detected were reobserved at 1.4 GHz with the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center 305-m telescope at Arecibo. ...

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. ...
