... Gravitational wave search provides insights into galaxy evolution and mergers . ... galaxies . ... The Hubble Space Telescope found a galaxy that was completely formed within 480 million years of the Big Bang. How could gas and dust clouds condense into stars and organize themselves via gravity into an entire galaxy in less time than it takes the Milky Way to make two rotations? ... Galaxies like the Milky Way indeed could not have formed as a unit at such an early era after the Big Bang. ...

... We have measured this "redshift" for the pink black holes, and allowed for it in our calculations. ... We see this effect in the emission from gas around these pink black holes, but it is far too small an effect to account for the pinkness. Thus the swirling motions of gas around or into the black holes cannot produc the colour. ... At first we thought that these things were normal blue black holes hidden behind clouds of interstellar dust, that absorbed the blue light and made them appear pink. ...

... STScI-PRC98-21 A BRIGHT RING OF STAR BIRTH AROUND A GALAXY'S CORE An image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope reveals clusters of infant stars that formed in a ring around the core of the barred-spiral galaxy NGC 4314. ... This close-up view by Hubble also shows other interesting details in the galaxy's core: dust lanes, a smaller bar of stars, dust and gas embedded in the stellar ring, and an extra pair of spiral arms packed with young stars. ... However, they are older than those in the ring. ...

An international group of astronomers, including Dr Simon Jeffery of the Armagh Observatory, has used the Hubble Space Telescope to verify the origin of a very unusual and rare type of star. The group's studies confirm that the so-called "extreme helium stars" are formed by the merger of two white dwarf stars. ... One, dubbed the final-flash (FF) model, suggests an outer helium layer of a cooling white dwarf ignites, producing an extra thermal pulse that balloons the star into a giant. ...

The trapping of particles by magnetic fields was first studied by Kristian Birkeland in Norway, starting around 1895. ... Poincare managed to solve the motion of charged particles near an isolated magnetic pole, showing that they spiraled around field lines and that they were repelled from regions of strong field. ... A more realistic problem, of more interest to Birkeland, was particle motion near a compact bar magnet or "dipole", which better approximated the field of the Earth or of his terrella. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...

However others are less pessimistic and it has even been claimed that the mysterious ?Wow! signal? received in 1977 originated from the direction M55.б  Sadly, this still unexplained pulse of radio energy originated from a location rather to the northwest of M55 so I doubt if the source was this cluster (if indeed the signal was genuinely of extraterrestrial origin). ...

... Indeed, one alteration of orbits can be the outright ejection of a planet. When several big planets are orbiting a star under each other's influence, the system is inherently unstable. ...

Basically, they were being shed in two phases: a slow dense wind, which was shaped like a squashed sphere, and a fast lower density wind, which swept up the slower wind. ... When we got the Hubble images, we were pretty surprised to see a ring of gas around the supernova. ... I have heard people refer to it as ``Plait's star'' which I'll admit is pretty cool. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...

... We assume that an instantaneous starburst occured in the region of the Galactic center, with half of the stars (in number) being formed in binaries. The total mass of the stars formed during the starburst was taken to be , as indicated by the Tamblyn & Rieke (1993) analysis. ... In fact, the number of stars in IRS 16 estimated by Tamblyn & Rieke (1993) is uncertain within a factor of 2, but this is actually of no importance as long as we only use relative numbers of different X-ray source species. ...
