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. ...

... According to modern views on the evolution and origin of stars, most of the stars are members of binary systems. ... After the second explosion, the pairs tend to break up and neutron stars and/or black holes fly apart. High velocities of radio pulsars are apparently largely due to this effect. ... For all possible pairs the probability of trajectory approach at small distances for the epoch, corresponding to the age of the younger pulsar have been evaluated. ...
