We present new images (ground-based optical and mid-infrared [MIR] from the Spitzer Space Telescope) and spectra (from Spitzer) of the archetypal starburst galaxy M82. The Spitzer data show that the MIR emission extends at least 6 kpc along the minor axis of the galaxy. ... The colors of the MIR emission and the spectra indicate that there is a strong component of aromatic feature emission (the MIR features commonly attributed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons). ...

... STScI-PRC99-16 RING AROUND A GALAXY Space Telescope Science Institute astronomers are giving the public chances to decide where to aim NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Guided by 8,000 Internet voters, Hubble has already been used to take a close-up, multi-color picture of the most popular object from a list of candidates, the extraordinary "polar-ring" galaxy NGC 4650A. Located about 130 million light-years away, NGC 4650A is one of only 100 known polar-ring galaxies. ...

... Sternberg Astronomical Institute , Moscow University . ... Present edition unites two parts of Catalogue of interacting galaxies by B.A.Vorontsov-Velyaminov: the first part (Part 1) containing 355 systems was published in 1959 [1] and the second one (Part 2) with 497 objects - in 1976 [2].Thus two published parts of Catalogue include 852 interacting systems. ... All new of them (1162 by number) were taken from the comments to the galaxies in Morphological catalogue by Vorontsov-Velyaminov et al.[ ...

... Named the Sombrero Galaxy for its hat-like resemblance, M104 features a prominent dust lane and a bright halo of stars and globular clusters . Reasons for the Sombrero 's hat -like appearance include an unusually large and extended central bulge of stars, and dark prominent dust lanes that appear in a disk that we see nearly edge-on . Billions of old stars cause the diffuse glow of the extended central bulge visible in the above image from the 200-inch Hale Telescope . ...

Giant radio galaxies constitute a class of radio sources with linear sizes on the megaparsec scale (Saripalli 1988). ... The Westerbork Northern Sky Survey (WENSS) has discovered several cases of "inner-double" or "double-double" giant radio galaxies: the findings suggest that such structures predominantly occur among the larger of radio galaxies. ... Close to the core of B0114-476, a narrow jet-like feature is seen directed toward the southern inner lobe which also has the brighter hotspots. ...

... Much of the cold atomic hydrogen in the interstellar medium can only be studied skiagraphically as I self-absorption (HISA) shadows against background I 21cm emission. The Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS) has captured a multitude of HISA features, many of which are invisible in prior surveys at lower resolution. ... Our images reveal a complex froth of cold I clouds from 74 to 147 degrees Galactic longitude at both Local and Perseus arm velocities. At low levels, HISA is ubiquitous. ...
