The high-redshift radio-loud quasar PKS 2126-158 is found to have a large number of red galaxies in close apparent proximity.We use the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) on Gemini South to obtain optical spectra for a large fraction of these sources. We show that there is a group of galaxies at z 0.66, coincident with a metal-line absorption system seen in the quasar s optical spectrum. ... All confirmed members exhibit early-type galaxy spectra, a rare situation for a MgII absorbing system. ...

An image of the grand design of spiral galaxy M100 obtained with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope resolves individual stars within the majestic spiral arms. ... Hubble has the ability to resolve individual stars in other galaxies and measure accurately the light from very faint stars.

... A tussle in the distant Universe. This Hubble Space Telescope image shows evidence for a merger between a quasar and a companion galaxy. The quasar is the bright object just beneath the image center, and the wisps of material around it are remains of a galaxy disrupted by the interaction between it and the quasar. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...

Sorted by Name For the year 2013 , 1466 supernovae and 59 extragalactic novae were reported. 230 of these supernovae were named by CBAT, 108 were given possible supernova designations, and 1128 were not reported to CBAT. 93 supernovae were found in NGC/IC galaxies, 284 were found in named galaxies 175 objects were discovered by amateurs 6 were brighter than 13th Magnitude 85 were brighter than 16th Magnitude 334 were brighter than 18th Magnitude 493 ...

... The SMS program is a critical endeavor to investigate whether the predictions of standard cold dark matter cosmology are consistent with the observed matter distribution in the Milky Way halo. It is the deepest, most extended search for optically elusive dwarf satellite galaxies and tidal streams to date, covering the entire Southern hemisphere. ... However only a few dwarf satellites have been found around the Milky Way to date - 22 dwarfs compared to 500-10,000 predicted by theory (Klypin et al. ...

... 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. ...

... Here are some tips on how to get the best guiding out of our current system. ... NA2 Guider Tips . ... Optical double stars, late-type galaxies, and bipolar PNs may pose a problem for guiding, as will objects where you desire to observe a position away from the bright center (e.g., SNs near bright galaxies). ... Field Star is good if your object is too faint or asymmetrical for Boresight guiding, or if you need the slit to be off-center. ... Use Field Star guiding almost always. ...

... Galaxy Evolution home . ... Micro quasars Publications . ... In the last few years a very similar phenomenon has been observed in some X-ray binaries, binary stellar systems with one gravitationally-compact object (black hole or neutron star) and an "normal" star part of whos atmosphere is captured by the compact object. ... The compact objects (a few solar masses) are much smaller than those inferred in AGN (10 9 solar masses), and the sizes much smaller, so the analogy may not be complete. ...

... The vertical and slanted dashed lines in the first panel mark the separation distinguishing are as occupied by thick-disk objects according to Hanson et al.
