In this gallery are many images of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies which have recently been discovered and analyzed. ... The central surface brightness of this galaxy is 24.28 . Malin 2 This galaxy is another huge disk galaxy with a scale length of 15 kpc and a redshift of 15000 km/a. The high surface brightness knot in one of its spiral arms actually has the same color, luminosity and H-alpha equivalent width as the entire Large Magellanic Cloud . ... Truly it is a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy. ...

... Ignacio Ugarte Urra's PhD thesis topic is the investigation of coronal bright points. In his first paper (in collaboration with Gerry Doyle and Maria Madjarska) he investigated the formation, evolution and decay of a coronal bright point via a spectroscopic analysis of its transition region counterpart and the evolution of the underlying magnetic bipole during 3 days of almost continuous observations. ... In general the bright point has a radiance 4 times higher than that of the network. ...

... The J, H and K bands are characterized by a bright background, such a background is mainly due to the emission of atmospheric lines and of thermal radiation. ... If the source cover a large fraction of the slit, spectra off-source must be observed to adequately sample the sky background. ... The on chip integration time (time spent in each position of the slit) must not exceed 40 seconds in J and H bands and 60 seconds in K band. ... We suggest a sequence of 10 for each elementary integration time. ...

Peremennye Zvezdy", . ... 10, N 26 (2010) . ... Star Name: . ... We report an increase of the J-band brightness of the unique supergiant FG Sge by the summer of 2010. It follows from our IR observations of the star (1986-2010) that its J-band brightness level in August, 2008 reached an absolute minimum (~12 m ), and till the beginning of the summer of 2010, the star was almost inaccessible for observations at 1.25 microns. ... The figure shows J-filter brightness variations of FG Sge in 1986-2010. ...

... These partially reduced images of the Pleiades were taken by WISP using its longer-wavelength (2180 ) UV filter. Point-spread functions (PSFs) of the brightest stars have been removed to reveal much of the inner reflection nebula, both in a centralized diffuse glow and in the nebulosity south of Merope, the bottom star in the Pleiades ``bowl''. The PSF removal process was improved since these images were produced. Better ultraviolet images can be found here . ...
