Astronotes Armagh Planetarium's Stellar Blog! ... Stars . ... Starbursts are short-lived events, stars are forming so quickly that the reservoirs of interstellar gas from which stars are coalescing would be used up on a timescale much shorter than the age of the galaxy . ... Strong stellar winds from giant new stars in the starburst region combine with the blasts of supernovae to push a mighty flood of extremely hot gas, a ?superwind? from the galaxy thousands of light years into intergalactic space. ...

The galaxy cluster called MOO J1142+1527 can be seen here as it existed when light left it 8.5 billion years ago. The red galaxies at the center of the image make up the heart of the galaxy cluster. ... In addition to galaxies, clusters also contain a reservoir of hot gas with temperatures in the tens of millions of degrees. CARMA was used to detect this gas and to determine the mass of this cluster. NASA/JPL-Caltech/Gemini/CARMA ...

The X-ray Fundamental Plane of Clusters of Galaxies Yutaka Fujita National Astronomical Observatory, Japan We analyze the relations among central gas density, core radius, and temperature of X-ray clusters by plotting the observational data in the three-dimensional (log  gas;0 , log r c , and log T gas ) space and nd that the data lie on a 'fundamental plane'. ... The two parameters describing the plane are formation redshift and temperature of clusters. ...

... All the galaxies are divided into 4 groups depending on the environment type; every subsample contains more than 10 galaxies. ... An effect of environments is seen both for the nuclei and for the bulges: if we consider the clusters (Virgo and Ursa Ma jor) and group centers as dense environments and the field and group periphery as sparse environments, then in the dense environments the stellar populations of S0s are in average older by 4­5 Gyr than in the sparse ones. ...
