... A radio galaxy is a galaxy that emits an unusually big amount of energy at radio wavelengths. ... Inside of each galaxy with an active nucleus (radio galaxies are among them) there must be a system of a "central machine" responsible for the colossal amount of the emitted energy from radio to gamma ranges. ... Sometimes a radio source in an active galaxy may flare again if the needed conditions appear (a new portion of matter would fall into the furnace of the "central machine"). ...

... Up: Description of program searchdup Previous: Program use . Input records are ordered per date of observation, and the list of known (observed) sources is cleared. Each record is compared in position to all the known sources. If the sky distance is less or equal to the specified one, the record is added to the list of observations for that source. If no known sources are within the specified radius, a new source is created, with the coordinates of the observation record. ...

... In one situation, we can use light from quasars to probe the material between us and them because that light may pass through one or more galaxies or gas clouds on its way to us. The gas inside the galaxies or the intergalactic clouds acts then as a filter, absorbing selected wavelengths from the quasar light. ... Light from a quasar must pass through clouds of gas and even faint galaxies -- each leaving its imprint on the light -- before we receive it here on Earth. ... Gravitational lensing . ...

RTT150 . ... This search system is designed for generating the necessary information on series of pointings (observations of each source consist of sets of exposures with different filters and sometimes with different exposure times) for observed sources. Search results appear at the separate page as a table with the following data: . DATE - real (not evening!) observations date (in YYYY-MM-DD format); . ... Bin - minimal CCD binning mode (may vary during the observations); . ...

... One striking feature is a small source of almost pure H 2 line emission, which is located near one of the compact sources in Orion reported by O'Dell and collaborators (HST-18 = 203-504). ... H-H objects, Proplyds, Orion Bar, H 2 . ... We obtained a series of images across the bright rim of the Orion Bar near the peaks of mm-wave molecular line emission with NICMOS cameras 1-3 (NIC1, NIC2, NIC3) in several filters on 1998 February 18. ... The suggestion of an H-H object does not seem compelling. ...

... Impact on source motion in Galactic coordinate system is given by Kovalevsky (2003), Malkin (2011) l cos b = -A sin l, b = -A cos l sin b, where A = R0 02 /c is the galactocentric acceleration called hereafter the GA constant. ... We just have to return to the traditional many-centuries-old astrometric practice of modelling the position of a celestial object as a linear trend with two parameters: the position at the initial (conventional) epoch and the apparent (proper) motion. ... 2011). ...

... The derived position here agrees with the position from recent ATCA observations, RA=15h 01m 34.74s, Dec=39 18 39.2" (Tasker, private communication) which found the source unresolved. Because of the relatively large position offset, the reality of the fainter component 0.12" to the west is somewhat in doubt. However, the ATCA centroid position is offset by 0.3" to the south-east of the VLBA position, suggesting that the faint component may be part of more extended structure. ...

The Sun is our nearest star and the source of energy for life on Earth. ... For centuries astronomers wondered whether they were clouds floating in the Sun's atmosphere, but we now know that they really are huge regions of magnetic field, about as intense as the field at the poles of an iron magnet. ... Such abrupt events were named solar flares , and what made them especially interesting was that occasionally, after a prominent flare, a magnetic storm would erupt on Earth. ...
