ATMoB "Galaxy Observing Award " Guidelines Purpose: To promote observing among the membership of the Amateur Telescope Makers of Boston through participation in the Galaxy Observing Awards program. ... Examples of elliptical galaxies: M49, M59, M60, M87, NGC 4125. Limiting Magnitude Assessment: Spirals: A spiral galaxy consists of a flattened disk, with stars forming a (usually two-armed) spiral structure, and a central concentration of stars known as the bulge. ...

... The Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP) presented Priscilla and Bart Bok Awards to two high School Seniors at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair held May 10 to 15 in Reno this year. ... The Bok prize is named for Bart and Priscilla Bok. ... About 10 years ago, at the suggestion of the American Astronomical Society, the activities supported by the Bok Fund were expanded to include the joint sponsorship of an astronomy award at Intel Science and Education Fair. ...

... Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh BT61 9DG, +44 (0)28 3752 2928 . ... In the late 1970s, jets were discovered in megaparsec-long radio galaxies. ... This involved the first quantitative analysis of jet warping, bending and disruption in galactic halos. ... Hot spots are created where a jet finally crashes into the surrounding medium. ... I extended the so-called Twin Exhaust Model, using numerical simulations to show that hot gas can be ejected in three forms: jets, bubbles and clouds. ...

... Previous: Substepping and its Application to HST Imaging . ... This is a preliminary report on an application of the co-addition technique based upon the Richardson-Lucy algorithm. The combination of high signal-to-noise ground-based images obtained with the ESO NTT using SUSI with high angular resolution HST FOC f/96 images gives new insights on the properties of galaxy cores and their potential time variability. Cores of galaxies are one of the main thrusts of present extragalactic research. ...

Abstract -- Abundances of heavy elements decreases with increasing galactocentric distance almost in all disk galaxies. ... To explain this gradient in young objects and in the interstellar gas one has to assume that a typical disk galaxy is an open system, i.e. it expels some synthesized heavy elements into the circumgalactic space and/or accretes intergalactic gas with zero metallicity, with rates of both processes depending on the galactocentric distance. ...
