We present Spitzer 3.6-160 О?m images, Spitzer mid-infrared spectra, and JCMT SCUBA 850 О?m images of the Sombrero Galaxy (NGC 4594), an Sa galaxy with a 109 Msolar low-luminosity active galactic nucleus (AGN). The brightest infrared sources in the galaxy are the nucleus and the dust ring. ...

Galaxies are diffuse objects which are imaged against a background of finite brightness and noise. Galaxies which have the maximum contrast with respect to this background are the ones that are first discovered. ... These galaxies have been missed to date but active surveys for them are underway. ... In this page we present several examples of these newly discovered Low Surface Brightness galaxies as well as examples of high surface brightness galaxies. ...

Next: Elliptical Galaxies. ... NGC 4258 is a nearby ( D = 6.4 Mpc) active spiral galaxy with high luminosity H 2 O maser emission. ... This provides the most compelling evidence so far for a black hole in the centre of a galaxy. ... As NGC 4258, the galaxies NGC 3079, NGC 1068, NGC 4945, and Circinus each host an H 2 0 megamaser (apparent isotropic luminosity > 10 L ). ... Weaker H 2 0 masers are also known in NGC 253, M82 and a few other galaxies (see Greenhill et al. 1990, and references therein). ...

... Continent-sized radio telescope takes close-ups of Fermi active galaxies . Observations solidify a theory about radio-emitting jets emanating from supermassive black holes at the centers of active galaxies. ... The study solidifies the link between an active galaxy's gamma-ray emissions and its powerful radio-emitting jets. ... All this points to the team's conclusion that the portion of an active galaxy's radio jet closest to the galaxy's core is also the source of the gamma-rays Fermi detects. ...

... 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"). ...

... The color composite image of Centaurus A reveals the lobes and jets emanating from the active galaxy?s central black hole. ... Astronomers have a new insight into the active galaxy Centaurus A (NGC 5128), as the jets and lobes emanating from the central black hole have been imaged at submillimetre wavelengths for the first time. ... Centaurus A hosts a very active and highly luminous central region, caused by the presence of a supermassive black hole is the source of strong radio and X-ray emission....

This page is devoted to information on Supernova 1998T in NGC 3690 . Information on the original web pages for many of these images can be found on the Supernova links web page. ... According to http://www.cv.nrao.edu/~jhibbard/a299/a299.html and http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/postdocs/vacca/images/arp299buv.html it follows that Arp 299 (aka Mrk 171) is made up of IC 694 (UGC 646471) on the east and NGC 3690 (H-247-1) (UGC 646472) on the west. ...

... 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. ...

... 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. ...
