... July 10, 1998 . NGC 1531/2: Interacting Galaxies . ... Explanation: This dramatic image of an interacting pair of galaxies was made using the 1.5 meter telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory near La Serena, Chile. NGC 1531 is the background galaxy with a bright core just above center and NGC 1532 is the foreground spiral galaxy laced with dust lanes. ...

... 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 . ...

... 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. ...

... Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh BT61 9DG, +44 (0)28 3752 2928 . ... In the late 1970s, jets were discovered in megaparsec-long radio galaxies. ... This involved the first quantitative analysis of jet warping, bending and disruption in galactic halos. ... Hot spots are created where a jet finally crashes into the surrounding medium. ... I extended the so-called Twin Exhaust Model, using numerical simulations to show that hot gas can be ejected in three forms: jets, bubbles and clouds. ...

The picture shows Abell 2218, a rich galaxy cluster composed of thousands of individual galaxies. ...
