چکیده
The gravitational clustering hierarchy and dissipative gas processes are both involved in the formation of bulges. Here we present a simple empirical model in which bulge material is assembled via gravitational accretion of the visible companion galaxies. Assuming that merging leads to a starburst, we show that the resulting winds can be strong enough that they self-regulate the accretion. A quasi-equilibrium accretion process naturally leads to the Kormendy relation between bulge density and size. Whether or not the winds are sufficiently strong and long lived to create the quasi-equilibrium must be tested with observations. To illustrate the model we use it to predict representative parameter dependent star formation histories. We find that bulge building activity peaks around redshift two, with tails to both higher and lower redshifts.

Multi-epoch VLBA observations of the maser in NGC 4258 have yielded a 4% geometrical distance to the galaxy. The potential scientific payoffs of finding similar objects at large distances, in the Hubble flow, are considerable. In this contribution, I discuss the plausibility of detecting high-redshift water masers, and describe a search strategy that we have implemented to realize this objective.

We calculate gamma-ray spectra of pulsars for a set of electron acceleration models within the polar-cap scenario. We discuss our results in the light of the recent analysis (Kanbach 1999) of temporal properties of the Vela pulsar in the EGRET energy range.
