... The distribution of galactic RCB stars is controversial. Several authors have argued that they belong to a thick galactic disk, and are thus old Population I stars. ... However, their distribution and space velocities suggest they may alternatively belong to the even older galactic bulge (Population II, [ Drilling 1986 ]). ... These are the only RCB stars for which a distance is known and hence for which an absolute magnitude can be deduced. ...

... Abstract: We present Monte Carlo radiative transfer simulations for spiral galaxies modelled as a stellar disk and a two-phase clumpy dust distribution. ... As a general result, clumpy models are less opaque than the corresponding homogeneous models. ... 0.00 0.15 0.50 0.1 0.5 1.0 2.0 5.0 10.0 0.25 X . ... We have also produced several homogeneous models, to compare to the clumpy models. ... Homogeneous and clumpy models with the same tauV have the same dust mass. ...

On the Metallicity-Color Relations and Bimodal Color Distributions in Extragalactic Globular Cluster Systems by M. Cantiello and J. P. Blakeslee . Many observations on globular cluster systems (GCS) show bimodal distributions in color and metallicity space. ... Based on their simulation study, (V-H) and (V-K) are confirmed to be good colors for revealing unbiased bimodal metallicity distributions in GCS. ...

... Galileo was one of the first to study our Milky Way with a telescope in 1610 and he discovered that it was composed of a huge number of faint stars. ... Image Credit: NASA Elliptical Galaxy This image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope shows a good example of an elliptical galaxy at the centre of a galaxy cluster that is over 450 million light-years away in the direction of the constellation Centaurus. ... Then the Andromeda galaxy was first classed as a galaxy outside of our own Milky Way. ...

Distribution of the Galaxy diffuse emission with high angular resolution allowing to refine the spatial distribution of the cosmic-ray protons in the Galaxy. More than 1000 compact sources with the fraction of degree location accuracy and continuouse monitoring of their flux time variation. Up to 10 new gamma-ray pulsars emitting in the very high energy range. Several high energy gamma-ray bursts with the fraction of degree localization accuracy. ...

... The analysis of two-dimensional galaxy distribution in the Jagiellonian Field (JF) was carried out by the wavelet technique. The positions of galaxies were taken from the Revised Jagiellonian Field Catalogue (RJFC) based on digitized scans of the JF original photographic plates. We discuss briefly the procedure of star/galaxy separation applied by us to the RJFC, the algorithm and the first results of mapping of the selected parts of the RJFC. ...

. This is a "slice" of about 700 million light-years across in the distribution of galaxies in the universe. Voids are marked as blue circles, and galaxies within as red dots. The image shows a void galaxy that harbors an actively accreting black hole in its center; such activity is revealed by its optical spectrum exhibiting emission spikes, characteristic of hot gases ionized by light emitted from matter swirling around a supermassive black hole.
