... Missions . HST . ... Research . ... The key questions I would like addressed in my section include: 1) What are the remaining plausible models that explain the faint blue counts in both the field and cluster and are dwarfs necessary in these models? How much evolution is actually needed? ... 2) Showing some Keck redshift and kinematic data of very faint blue galaxies, as well as complementary HST structure and morphology that address the issue of faint blue galaxies being dwarfs. ...

... Keck: The Largest Optical Telescope . ... Here's what a spiral galaxy REALLY looks like. ... In the above picture, note how blue the spiral arms are - this indicates the presence of hot young stars and on-going star formation. M81: A Bulging Spiral Galaxy . ... Few stars are still forming in the old giant spiral galaxy M81. The blue regions in this picture - representing ultraviolet light - highlight regions of bright young stars and star formation and appear rare than in M74 and M33. ...

... 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. ...

... Most people that are interested in supernovae use whatever telescopes they can get access to, but researchers at certain colleges and universities are able to access specialized telescopes like NASA?s Chandra X-ray Observatory . It?s a telescope that orbits the Earth and that has a specialized purpose of being able to observe X-ray emissions from supernovae, clustered galaxies and the materials around black holes. ... super@supernovae.net . ...

... HIPASS results . ... Of the BGC galaxies, 138 have redshifts for the first time. ... We really need ALFA to address that faint end. ... This estimate accounts for the smaller beam size, the number of pixels, and the available solid angle. ... HIPASS (with an integration time of 250 sec per pixel) was complete only for M * galaxies at cz ALFA (with the same intergration time) would be complete to 15,000 km/s . ... The integration time would be only 1 sec per beam for a total time of about 2.6 hours. ...

The ESA/ESO Astronomy Exercise Series 2 . The Distance to Messier 100 as Determined by Cepheid Variable Stars . ... The small variations in distance to the individual Cepheid variable stars in the Cloud are negligible compared with the much larger distance to the SMC. ... In this way Cepheid variable stars can be used as one of the 'standard candles' in the Universe that act either as distance indicators themselves or can be used to calibrate (or set the zero point for) other distance indicators. ...

Next: Proposed Facility Up: You are the Institute Previous: You are the Institute . Your main research interests lie in the very first stars and galaxies to form. Ever since those chaps at Caltech started finding large numbers of galaxies at redshifts up to about 6, the astronomical world has been in a frenzy of theoretical and observational activity. ... You, therefore, have turned your interest where nobody else has dared look: to really high redshifts. ...
