... The Dragonfly Galaxy: ATCA unravels the role of cold gas in a merging hyper-luminous radio galaxy at z=2 . ... By combining high-resolution ATCA observations with new HST imaging, we found evidence that a gas-rich (`wet') merger of galaxies is driving the rapid evolution of the Dragonfly Galaxy. ... The Dragonfly Galaxy is likely an extreme high-z analogue to the most powerful radio galaxies at low-z, whose activity is also believed to be fueled by cold gas deposited after a galaxy merger. ...

During the last 48 hours, solar activity of moderate-to-large intensity was registered with two class X events (one was a maximum X5), and also events of class M and C. Two Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) occurred in March 4 and 5 reached the Earth this (Thursday) morning, March 8 at 11 UT (7 AST), and large variations in the Earth's magnetic field and energetic particle precipitation into the poles are expected. ...

This short exposure taken with the Kitt Peak 4-meter telescope clearly shows the large number of globular clusters that are associated with M87, the brightest elliptical galaxy in the Virgo cluster. The galaxy is also famous for having an active nucleus in which an outflow of collimated material is emanating. Note the very bright nucleus in the short exposure picture of M87 that helps to reveal the jet. M87 may mark the dynamical center of the Virgo cluster.

. To display the state of any background jobs that you are currently running use the job command. For example: jobs [1] + Running xterm -g 90x55 [2] - Running xterm -g 90x55 . This displays the job number, its state and the command associated with this job. To display the process number use the -l option. For example: jobs -l [1] + 3584 Running xterm -g 90x55 [2] - 3587 Running xterm -g 90x55 .
