... 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"). ...

... We have obtained Herschel images at five wavelengths from 100 to 500 ЮМm of a ~5.5 У? 2.5 degree area centred on the local galaxy M 31 (Andromeda), our nearest neighbour spiral galaxy, as part of the Herschel guaranteed time project "HELGA". ... Aims: In this paper we present data reduction and Herschel maps, and provide a description of the far-infrared morphology, comparing it with features seen at other wavelengths. ...

... We detect three main diffuse components: the Virgo ICM at ~2.4 keV, the extended halo of M86 at ~1.2 keV, and the cooler central and stripped gas of M86 at ~0.8 keV. The most striking feature is a long tail of emission, which consists of a plume ~ 4' north of M86 and two main extensions emanating from the plume. ... Ram pressure stripping from an aspherical potential can also explain the split "double tails" seen in M86 and in other Virgo cluster galaxies in the field. ...

Comment on J0627-3529 . We have detected the core of an FR-I object and early-type galaxy (Venturi et al. 1995). The core is 0.54 Jy at 2.3 GHz on the Parkes-Tidbinbilla baseline (Morganti et al. 1997) and 0.6 Jy at 5 GHz (VLA data, Ekers et al. (1989) and Morganti, Killeen & Tadhunter (1993)). The VLBA image at 2.3 GHz with the resolution of 15x9 mas shows a "core-jet" structure, with the core brightness of 494 mJy/beam (Venturi et al. ...
