... 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"). ...

The presence of strong central concentrations in the starlight of galaxies is important in understanding their dynamics, and in searching for the massive compact objects thought to exist in (at least) active galactic nuclei. ... The core of the Andromeda galaxy, M31, has also been suspected to harbor a massive central object from ground-based spectroscopic data (Dressler , 1988, Kormendy 1988). ...

... Science . ... The Local Sphere of Influence (LSI) survey is a deep near-IR (H-band) survey of galaxies residing in the Local Sphere of Influence ( D < 10 Mpc). The images with a typical surface brightness limit 4 mag fainter than 2MASS (24.5 mag arcsec -2 < SB lim < 26 mag arcsec -2 ) have been obtained with IRIS2 on the 3.9~m Anglo-Australian Telescope. 11 of the observations have resulted in non-dections or the images were saturated by foreground stars. ...
