PRESS RELEASE ­ Monday 4th October 2004 Astronomers Demonstrate a Global Internet Telescope European and US radio astronomers have demonstrated a new way of observing the Universe ­ through the Internet! Using cutting-edge technology, the researchers have managed to observe both a distant star and the "monster in the middle" of a galaxy far away from our Milky Way. ... The star chosen for this remarkable demonstration, IRC+10420, is one of the most unusual in the sky. ...

... These Frontier Fields will combine the power of HST with the natural gravitational telescopes of high-magnification clusters of galaxies. ... We are soliciting gravitational lensing maps for the last four Hubble Frontier Fields clusters (MACSJ0717.5+3745, MACSJ1149.5+2223, AbellS1063, and Abell 370) based upon the exceptionally deep HST FF imaging and other new ancillary data. ... For the full set of proposal instructions and requirements, see the FY16 Frontier Fields Lensing Map Call for Proposals....

... Research . ... A rare hybrid morphology radio galaxy . ... In this project we will be able to investigate the environmental effect on star formation and galaxy evolution in individual galaxies falling into the cluster through radio observations of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Current models of galaxy evolution regulate the star formation rates within the simulated galaxies by invoking radio-mode feedback from AGN. ... Julie.Banfield@anu.edu.au . ...

... Technique of supervision of solar atmosphere active formations with the Multichannel Flare Spectrograph. Consider in details now a method of observations of fast processes in solar chromosphere with Multichannel Flare Spectrograph (MFS) installed in Ondrejov Observatory (Czech Republic). ... The working spectral range lies between IR CaII 8542 A and K CaII 3870 A. To observe solar image on the spectrograph's slit a lens, narrow-band H-alpha filter (4) ("Daystar") and CCD-chamber are used. ...

... 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"). ...

... Continent-sized radio telescope takes close-ups of Fermi active galaxies . Observations solidify a theory about radio-emitting jets emanating from supermassive black holes at the centers of active galaxies. ... The study solidifies the link between an active galaxy's gamma-ray emissions and its powerful radio-emitting jets. ... All this points to the team's conclusion that the portion of an active galaxy's radio jet closest to the galaxy's core is also the source of the gamma-rays Fermi detects. ...
