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. ...

The XPA messaging system provides seamless communication between many kinds of Unix programs, including X programs and Tcl/Tk programs. It also provides an easy way for users to communicate with these XPA-enabled programs by executing XPA client commands in the shell or by utilizing such commands in scripts. ... A program becomes an XPA-enabled server by defining named points of public access through which data and commands can be exchanged with other client programs (and users). ...

Next: Supernova Explosions Up: No Title Previous: X-ray Luminosity Evolution . The origin of cosmic rays (CR) (especially of very high energies, >  eV) until now has been one of the unsolved problems in modern astrophysics. It is unclear as yet whether one universal mechanism of relativistic particle formation in our Galaxy operates or not, and if there are several different mechanisms, what is their relative contribution to CR formation. ... compact X-ray stars in binary systems. ...

... 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. ...

... Searches for Star Formation in Damped Systems . ... The objective was to measure the star-formation rates in these systems. However, no H emission was detected above our limits of Wm -2 , corresponding to star formation rates ( q 0 =0.5). ... For q 0 =0.5 our limits are in conflict with the star formation rates predicted under the assumption that the high- z DLAs are the fully-formed galactic-disk counterparts of today's massive spiral galaxies. ...
