... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...

CSIRO Ref 98/194 . Astronomers using CSIRO 's Parkes radio telescope have made a picture that shows our Galaxy ripping apart its nearest neighbours. ... The two nearest neighbouring galaxies, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (left), are less than a tenth of our Galaxy in size. ... One was a process called ram-pressure stripping - gas being swept out of the Magellanic Clouds as the Clouds travelled through our Galaxy's outskirts." ... Email: hsim@atnf.csiro.au . ...

... The search for distant objects which can be both galaxies and quasars is one of the most important problems of observational astrphysics, because it allows one to determine cosmological parameters connected with the time of appearence and evolution of stellar systems, large scale structure of the Universe. ... Radio galaxies are important objects to be studied because they are sources of infrared-optical-ultraviolet continuum, emission lines and continual radio emission. ...

... Astronomy news . ... NASA's Spitzer Images Out-of-This-World Galaxy . ... It is spiral-shaped like our Milky Way, with long, spindly arms of stars. The "eye" at the center of the galaxy is actually a monstrous black hole surrounded by a ring of stars. In this color-coded infrared view from Spitzer, the area around the invisible black hole is blue and the ring of stars, white. ... The ring around the black hole is bursting with new star formation. ...

home publications > mercury . ... Big Clusters, Tiny Galaxies . ... Astronomers struggle to understand why giant star clusters form in the tiniest of galaxies . ... These clusters are probably young versions of globular clusters, but they are commonly called super star clusters. Seven dwarf galaxies within 16 million light-years have formed super star clusters, with one of these galaxies, NGC 1569, possessing two young clusters. ... Super star clusters have a lot to tell us about star formation. ...

... Much of the cold atomic hydrogen in the interstellar medium can only be studied skiagraphically as I self-absorption (HISA) shadows against background I 21cm emission. The Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS) has captured a multitude of HISA features, many of which are invisible in prior surveys at lower resolution. ... Our images reveal a complex froth of cold I clouds from 74 to 147 degrees Galactic longitude at both Local and Perseus arm velocities. At low levels, HISA is ubiquitous. ...
