... 2 April 1999 . The Nobeyama Radioheliograph data show that in the microwave range, besides large-scale trans-equatorial chains (see, e.g., the May 11-15, 1993 and November 1-4, 1993 events), there are also many examples displaying large and strongly evolving "longitudinal" or "internal" chains connecting remote active regions inside an active zone in one (northern or southern) hemisphere (the August 20-September 3, 1998 event). ...

Galaxies are diffuse objects which are imaged against a background of finite brightness and noise. Galaxies which have the maximum contrast with respect to this background are the ones that are first discovered. ... These galaxies have been missed to date but active surveys for them are underway. ... In this page we present several examples of these newly discovered Low Surface Brightness galaxies as well as examples of high surface brightness galaxies. ...

... This is revealed by unusually strong emission across the electromagnetic spectrum of light, including radio waves, X-rays and gamma-rays. These "active galaxies" are believed to be powered by the appetite of massive black holes in their centers, which gobble up matter through their relentless gravitational pull and transfer mass to energy in the process. ... To explain the observed energy output, the black holes in active galaxies must have masses of a million to a billion times that of the Sun. ...

... Solar flare activity is produced by the processes of accumulation and release of energy in an active region. ... In the framework of study of solar active regions, producing powerful flares the researchers from the RATAN-600 radio telescope have detected sources with features in the form of a sharp drop in the intensity of polarized radiation in various parts of the recorded frequency range (2-16GHz), sometimes changing the sign of polarization. ...
