... 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. ...

... Previous: Substepping and its Application to HST Imaging . ... This is a preliminary report on an application of the co-addition technique based upon the Richardson-Lucy algorithm. The combination of high signal-to-noise ground-based images obtained with the ESO NTT using SUSI with high angular resolution HST FOC f/96 images gives new insights on the properties of galaxy cores and their potential time variability. Cores of galaxies are one of the main thrusts of present extragalactic research. ...

... Authors: Rosa A. Gonz lez 1 , Ronald J. Allen 1 , Boris Dirsch 1,2 , Henry C. Ferguson 1 , Daniela Calzetti 1 , Nino Panagia 1,3 We describe a new, direct method for determining the opacity of foreground galaxies which does not require any a priori assumptions about the spatial distribution or the reddening law of the obscuring material. ... In the interarm region, the combination of extinction and reddening can be explained by a diffuse component with a Galactic reddening law (R V 3). ...
