Comprehensive exploration of the galaxies involved in Halton C. Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, to support the astronomical observer.

Determining the distances to nearby galaxies.

Dust in Spiral Galaxies There has been considerable controversy about the dust content of spiral galaxies, with some new results casting doubt on the traditional assumption that its effects on emerging light are relatively minor. Trying to avoid some of the pitfalls of modelling and statistics on such complex systems, Ray White III and I have been exploring the use of galaxy overlaps to measure ...

The Formation and Evolution of Galaxies A network funded by the Training and Mobility of Researchers Programme of the European Comission Currently funded period: 1.10.1996 - 30.9.2000 Research goals: It has recently become possible to identify galaxies so distant that they are seen when only a fraction as old as nearby systems. The evolution of the Universe can be studied directly through ...
