To locate it, look along the imaginary line between the two end stars on the leading edge of the PloughтАЩs blade (Merak and Dubhe) and Polaris (the North Star), the galaxy M82 (also known as the Cigar Galaxy) along with its companion M81, lies just off this line about a third of the way between the Plough and Polaris. €а€аAs usual, the supernova is far brighter than its home galaxy, appearing as an extra star. ...

... We address a question if globular clusters (GC) in a protogalaxy could for some time evolve chemically as isolated systems, enriching themselves with heavy elements produced in first supernova events that follow initial star formation. We determine both the critical mass of a protoglobular cluster that is needed to retain the ejecta of the very first supernova, and the critical energy (i.e., number of supernovae) that is needed to expel the residual gas from a cluster of a given mass. ...

... Hypervelocity Stars Ejected from the Galactic Center . ... In his talk, Hypervelocity Stars Ejected from the Galactic Center, Dr. Brown will discuss how the observed velocity and spatial distributions are linked to the ejection mechanism. The hypervelocity stars place quantitative constraints on the types of stars orbiting near the central black hole and the history of stellar interactions with the black hole. ... Apr . ...

... We report on our ongoing project ``Infrared Study of HII Regions Associated with Small Clouds.' ... These IR data, combined with optical imaging (which will be obtained from the IAC-80 telescope), IRAS survey maps, and existing CO observations of the associated clouds, will allow us to undertake a detailed investigation of the gas-to-dust mass ratio, initial mass function and the star-formation efficiency in these complexes. ...

... 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. ...

... Архив семинара . ... Triggered Star Formation" . It is now well established that massive stars in star forming regions can trigger next generation of star formation. ... The young stellar objects (YSOs) in star forming regions have been identified using the near-infrared (NIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) observations. ... The age of YSOs, the morphology of the regions and the global distribution of YSOs indicate that the star formation can be triggered by either (RDI/ CC) of the processes. 40 мин. ...

HI envelopes around HII regions . ... We have investigated 32 HII regions and around 17 of them we have found the clumped HI envelopes with radial motions. The example of the envelope around HII regions M16 is shown on figure 1. ... The thickness of envelopes is rather great - 0.44 radius, mass are about 6E+4 mass of the Sun, kinetic energies - 10E+50 ergs. ... The model of formation of HI envelope was advanced as outcome of an operation of a summarized stellar wind of stars, exciting HII region. ...
