... Bad Astronomy . ... Bitesize Astronomy . ... Last week's Snack talked about how black holes can affect the environment around them in such a way as to be very bright . ... It's a common misconception that black holes always have matter swirling into them. ... As this matter gets closer and closer to the black hole it piles up and a large, fairly flat disk forms. This is called the accretion disk , because matter from this disk accretes (that is, falls in) on the black hole. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...

... STScI-PRC00-37 HUBBLE CAPTURES AN EXTRAORDINARY AND POWERFUL ACTIVE GALAXY Resembling a swirling witch's cauldron of glowing vapors, the black hole-powered core of a nearby active galaxy appears in this colorful NASA Hubble Space Telescope image. ... The larger outer ring extends off the image and is in the plane of the galaxy's disk. ... The black hole and its accretion disk are expelling gas out of the galaxy's disk and into its halo (the region above and below the disk). ...

... Accretion onto an obscured central engine is betrayed by the shape of the MIR continuum emission for several sources, confirming Spitzer's potential to weed out active galaxies. ... Sensitive 24 ЮМm observations are clearly a useful route to identify and characterize reliable counterparts to high-redshift far-IR-bright galaxies, complementing what is possible via deep radio imaging. ...

... 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"). ...

... Active Disk Building in a Local HI-massive LIRG . by Michelle Cluver (UCT) . ... However, the mid-infrared uncovers a star-forming disk housing an intense starburst with a star formation rate of approximately 21 Msun/yr (Cluver et al. 2008 , 2010 ).This luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG) appears to be undergoing asymmetric inside-out disk building, with a star formation efficiency comparable to local disk galaxies and quite different to merger-driven starbursts. ... today * ATNF | ...

. This artist's conception portrays four extremely red galaxies that lie almost 13 billion light-years from Earth. Discovered using the Spitzer Space Telescope, these galaxies appear to be physically associated and may be interacting. One galaxy shows signs of an active galactic nucleus, shown here as twin jets streaming out from a central black hole. David A. Aguilar (CfA)
