... The highly obscured cases in our sample are generally the bright, central regions of galaxies with high overall attenuation but are not otherwise remarkable. ... The small fraction of highly obscured regions seen in this sample of normal, star-forming galaxies suggests that on 500 pc scales the timescale for significant dispersal or breakup of nearby, optically thick dust clouds is short relative to the lifetime of a typical star-forming region. ...

... STScI-PRC95-10 FOR RELEASE: February 20, 1995 HUBBLE PROBES THE VIOLENT BIRTH OF STARS IN GALAXY NGC 253 [Left] An image of the spiral galaxy NGC 253, taken with a ground-based telescope. ... Hubble's high resolution allows astronomers to quantify complex structures in the starburst core of the galaxy for the first time, including luminous star clusters, dust lanes which trace regions of dense gas and filaments of glowing gas. ...

... Absorption by neutral atomic hydrogen in luminous spiral galaxies provides an excellent tool to study the gas kinematics in their nuclear regions. ... Since the absorption lines are intrinsically narrow as a result of the low temperatures of the optically thick gas, typically 30 to 150 K (Dickey, Salpeter & Terzian 1979), it is surprising that numerous galaxies show H I absorption over a broad range of velocities (a few hundred kms -1 ); see e.g., Fig. ... range . ...

Recent observations of the Sculptor Galaxy by NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope ARray (NuSTAR), combined with those from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, suggest that the supermassive black hole at the center of NGC 253 has dozed off, or gone inactive, sometime in the past decade. ... This object, which appears as a blue spot near the hotter, central region of the galaxy, is either a black hole or a dense, dead star, called a neutron star, feeding off a partner star. ...

SAOtng can associate names with region markers in order to aid users in remembering the significance of the region. ... By default, marker regions that you create in SAOtng are defined to be either "source" regions or "background" regions and are colored green and red, respectively. ... This type name is controlled by the "Set Type (and Color)" option in the marker menu (activated using the right mouse button within a region). ... Colors can be associated with names for regions. ...
