... 2006 May 17 . The Host Galaxies of Long-Duration GRBs . Credit: NASA , ESA , Andrew Fruchter ( STScI ), and the GOSH Collaboration . ... These images, shown above , indicate that long duration GRBs typically appear to come from galaxies and regions of galaxies with bright regions rich with star formation and bright, massive stars . Long GRBs are therefore different than many types of supernovas , which occur more uniformly distributed in their host galaxies. ... About APOD | ...

... The Host Galaxies of Long Duration GRBs . ... These images, shown above , indicate that long duration GRBs typically appear to come from galaxies and regions of galaxies with bright regions rich with star formation and bright, massive stars . ... Since such active star forming regions are relatively rare in our Milky Way Galaxy , the chances of a nearby GRB affecting life on Earth are relatively slight . ...

... Circinus is a nearby spiral galaxy only 4 degrees below the Galactic plane. ... Jones et al. (1996, in prep.) and Koribalski Whiteoak (1996) only recently mapped Circinus with several configurations of the ATCA; a few preliminary results are presented here. ... The elongated central disk (length about 5 arcmin) indicates a bar, and the central `hole' is caused by HI absorption against the bright central region of Circinus. ...

Next: The stage and Up: The ESO Red Sky Previous: Artefacts . Fig. 3 shows the distribution of stars. The most striking feature is the rapid steepening of the density gradient towards the Milky Way region at the right and left hand edges of the total field, apparent from the dramatic change in colour in this false colour presentation. Noticable changes in star density across even short distances are indicated by colour changes within individual plates. ... Fig. ...

... June 24, 1999 . NGC 1365: A Nearby Barred Spiral Galaxy . ... Explanation: Many spiral galaxies have bars across their centers. Even our own Milky Way Galaxy is thought to have a bar , but perhaps not so prominent as the one in NGC 1365, shown above . ... NGC 1365 is a member of the Fornax Cluster of Galaxies . Because NGC 1365 is relatively nearby, simultaneous measurements of its speed and distance are possible, which help astronomers estimate how fast our universe is expanding . ...

We refined the fundamental parameters of the components, the orbital periods, and the conditions of photospheric heating of the secondary component by the ultraviolet radiation of the hot component. ... The observations of the star clusters associated with ultra-luminous x-ray sources (ULXs) in four galaxies on the 6-meter and VLT telescopes have shown that all the ULXs are located within 200pc of very young star clusters (younger than 5 million years). ...

The project of the informational system creation on the problem of evolution of radio galaxies, as a part of the "Big Trio" project aimed on studing of distant radio galaxies, is designed. This system allows a user to operate with simulated curves of spectral energy distributions (SED) to estimate ages and redshifts by photometry data. Authors use SEDs of several models for different types of galaxies. ... The HTTP and e-mail access is organized to this system. ...

... One major problem with this work is that metallicity calibrations have been hindered by large discrepancies, particularly between diagnostics that use different sets of emission-lines, and these discrepancies are not well understood. Fortunately, large integral field spectroscopic surveys offer the first large local datasets to resolve this issue and in this project, 6 different metallicity calibrations were applied to a star-forming galaxies from the SAMI galaxy survey. ...
