... Bad Astronomy . ... Bitesize Astronomy . ... Last week's Snack talked about how black holes can affect the environment around them in such a way as to be very bright . ... It's a common misconception that black holes always have matter swirling into them. ... As this matter gets closer and closer to the black hole it piles up and a large, fairly flat disk forms. This is called the accretion disk , because matter from this disk accretes (that is, falls in) on the black hole. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...

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. ...

... Tonight's Sky . ... NASA satellite reveals active galaxies are different near and far . ... An ongoing X-ray survey undertaken by NASA's Swift spacecraft is revealing differences between nearby active galaxies and those located about halfway across the universe. ... Nearly a decade ago, surveys with NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory and the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton showed that active galaxies some 7 billion light-years away were mostly massive "red and dead" galaxies in normal environments....

... 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). ...

... For us to see them from such great distances, quasars must be producing enormous energy -- they are about 1000 times brighter than an average galaxy! ... One of their choices for the energy source of quasars was a black hole. ... On the one hand, it may seem difficult to think that mere friction between bits of matter could account for the energy of a quasar, but, on the other hand, gravity is unimaginably strong near a black hole. ... How does matter actually rush towards the black hole? ...

. Authors: A.A. Suchkov , V.A. Marakov . Journal: Pis'ma Astron. Zh., 1976, v.2, p.38-385. Metallisity function of globular clusters in the Galaxy is constructed. It is found to have three "humps". This leads to a conclusion that there were three metal enrichment outbursts during the period of globular cluster formation. The constraints on the nature of metal sourses and on the early evolution of Galaxy are considered.
