... By means of deep optical images obtained at the Special Astrophysical Observatory 6-m telescope it was discovered that some Seyfert galaxies that were earlier considered to be non-interacting objects displayed signatures of elongated tidal envelopes belonging to satellite debris. ... Our results suggest that statistic studies based on popular imaging surveys (for example SDSS) can lead to an underestimation of the fraction of minor mergers among galaxies with active nuclei (AGN). ...

... Posts tagged ?host galaxy? ... Without an optical afterglow, a galaxy within the 2 arc second error region of a GRB x-ray afterglow is identified as a host galaxy; however confusion can rise due to the facts that 1. the edge of a galaxy is diffused, 2. multiple sources could exist within 2 arc second error region, 3.the distance between the galaxy and the x-ray afterglow is measured by projection, and 4. lensing causes increase of brightness and position shifts. ...

That s why the astronomers looked for dark galaxies around incredibly bright galaxies called quasars , which are also very far away. ...

... Your main research interests concern galactic structure. ... For example, the division of stars in our galaxy into dynamically and chemically different populations (the thin and thick disks, halo and bulge) is surely telling us something crucial about how our galaxy formed. ... By looking at the different stellar populations, we could determine when different bits of gas arrived in our galaxy, and what types of stars they formed. ...
