... Bad Astronomy . ... Bitesize Astronomy . ... Last week's Snack talked about how black holes can affect the environment around them in such a way as to be very bright . ... It's a common misconception that black holes always have matter swirling into them. ... As this matter gets closer and closer to the black hole it piles up and a large, fairly flat disk forms. This is called the accretion disk , because matter from this disk accretes (that is, falls in) on the black hole. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...

The ESA/ESO Astronomy Exercise Series 2 . The Distance to Messier 100 as Determined by Cepheid Variable Stars . ... The small variations in distance to the individual Cepheid variable stars in the Cloud are negligible compared with the much larger distance to the SMC. ... In this way Cepheid variable stars can be used as one of the 'standard candles' in the Universe that act either as distance indicators themselves or can be used to calibrate (or set the zero point for) other distance indicators. ...

... We publish 16 Doppler imaging temperature maps for the years 1994-2002 of the active RS CVn star II Peg. ... Through Doppler imaging we want to study the spot evolution of the star and in particular compare this with previous results showing a cyclic spot behaviour and persistent active longitudes. ... The derived temperature maps are quite similar to the ones obtained earlier with a different methods, the main differences occurring in the spot latitudes and relative strength of the spot structures....

The rates of type Ia supernovae from double degenerate mergers channel in different star formation models (left panel), and the rate contribution function to the present-day ( t disc = 10Gyr) supernovae rates in the thin disc (right panel). ... We have compared the impact of different star-formation models on the rates and numbers of DDs and on the rates of type Ia (SNIa) and core-collapse supernovae (ccSN). ...

New polar ring galaxies catalogue. ... A host galaxy like S0 or E, the polar component is like spirals or irregular galaxies ( gas -rich and bluer) Not only narrow annuli, but also extended disc-like rings Warped and inclined rings Only 20 large-scale polar rings + 6 inner rings were kinematically confirmed from the Whitmore et al. list: - HI maps (Cox et al; Sparke et al. ) - optical-long slit spectroscopy (Reshetnikov et al) - optical ...

(a) Distribution of distance from the Galactic plane, (b) kinematic diagram, and (c) relation between metallicity and distance from the Galactic plane for RR Lyrae stars with [Fe /H ] > -0.95 . ... The solid line in the middle panel is a regression line, whose slope is determined by the subsystem’s rotation rate; the open circles and dashed line correspond to stars with [Fe/H] > -0.4, and the filled circles and dashed line to stars with -0.95 < [Fe/H] < -0.4. ... next figure | privious figure . ...

... Credit: Mischa Schirmer Explanation: What's happening to galaxy NGC 474? ... The cause of the shells is currently unknown, but possibly tidal tails related to debris left over from absorbing numerous small galaxies in the past billion years. Alternatively the shells may be like ripples in a pond, where the ongoing collision with the spiral galaxy to the right of NGC 474 is causing density waves to ripple though the galactic giant. ... Publications with keywords: galaxies - interacting galaxies . ...

... Since IRS 7 at the Galactic center was identified as a luminous red supergiant (Lebofsky et al. 1982), a lasting debate has been initiated whether the nucleus of the Milky Way galaxy had experienced a recent star formation episode. ... 1993). ... 1994). ... Tamblyn & Rieke (1993) and Schaerer (1994) proposed starburst models which would be able to account for a young stellar population at the Galactic center, although the origin of some peculiar hot stars still remains to be explained (Tamblyn et al...

... This paper describes various methods for the analysis of spectroscopic data, particularly as they relate to wavelength calibration of echelle-format spectra. ... Keywords: spectroscopy, Hough transform, wavelet transform, robust regression, echelle, wavelength calibration . ... Wavelet transform can be useful in complementing robust techniques for multiresolution analysis, and Section 4 presents an application of the Mexican hat transform to the detection of spectral features. ...
