... 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. (1998) and Martin, Morrison (1998) , respectively. An abrupt change in the dispersion near V res 290 km/s (the vertical dashed lines) is apparent in all panels except the first. discussion in the text | next figure | privious figure . ...

... 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. ...

... 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. ...
