Explanation: A mere 11 million light-years away, Centaurus A is a giant elliptical galaxy - the closest active galaxy to Earth. ... Centaurus A's central region is a jumble of gas, dust, and stars in optical light, but both radio and x-ray telescopes trace a remarkable jet of high-energy particles streaming from the galaxy's core. ...

... 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"). ...

... Programme . ... Abstract: Centaurus A provides us with our best chance of interpreting many of the phenomena that we see in active galaxies. ... The talk will concentrate on the nature of the non-thermal emission and the interactions between the non-thermal and thermal plasmas on kpc scales, and attempt to generalize from Centaurus A to other radio galaxies at greater distances. go back .

Observing with ESO Telescopes . ... ESO-MIDAS . ... ESO Data . ... ESO HST Image Galleries . ... The aim of this research project is to understand the emission mechanism(s) in these active galaxies: . how much power is ultimately due to accretion onto supermassive black holes and how much is due to star formation processes ? ...

... The distributions of orbits eccenttricities and of angular momenta for the halo stars and the old disk population are considered. The distributions have gaps separating the halo from the disk and dividing the halo population into three groups. ... Рассмотрены распределения звезд гало и старого населения диска по величине эксцентриситета орбит и угового момента. Распределения имеют провалы, отделяющие гало от диска и делящие населения гало на три группы. ...

... NASA's Hubble Space Telescope offers a stunning unprecedented close-up view of a turbulent firestorm of starbirth along a nearly edge-on dust disk girdling Centaurus A, the nearest active galaxy to Earth. A ground-based telescopic view (upper left insert) shows that the dust lane girdles the entire elliptical galaxy. This lane has long been considered the dust remnant of a smaller spiral galaxy that merged with the large elliptical galaxy. ...

We present observational radial velocity curves for 12 chromospherically active binary systems and individual measurements for a further 5 systems. ... Six of our target binaries do not agree with published ephemerides or orbital parameters. We also present a rigourous derivation of the resolution limit for binary star cross-correlation radial velocities. ... Key Words: stars:binaries:close-stars:binaries:spectroscopic-techniques: radical velocities. ...

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. ...

... We present 5GHz high resolution VLA observations of 2,127 radio-- and X-ray--emitting sources found in both the Green Bank (GB) 5GHz radio catalog and the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS). We report core flux densities and positions accurate to =-0.5". ... This table has 1861 rows and 9 columns giving: Catalog source name, RA and DEC (J2000), observation code, S/N ratio, VLA core flux density at 5 GHz (mJy), Green Bank flux density at 5 GHz (mJy), error in Green Bank flux density (mJy), and Notes. ...
