... Radio astronomers at Arecibo Observatory observe a wide variety of phenomena in the Milky Way and in other galaxies. ... Some REU projects are carried out on pre-existing data, and others rely on obtaining new data. ... Deriving a new shape model from existing radar images has been a popular student project in past years, and there are data sets that could be used for this. We are collecting thermal infrared emission data for many of the near-Earth asteroids that are also observed with radar. ...

... 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. ...

... The SN 1998bv discovered on April 6, 1998 in the blue compact galaxy HS 1035+4758 is the second supernova observed in a low-mass galaxy with intense SF burst. ... According to its characteristic spectrum, SN 1998bv is a type II supernova with estimated peak absolute brightness M 16.3.
