... 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. ...

3) Planets and Brown Dwarfs . ... By its nature, this method is most sensitive to massive planets orbiting close to their stars. ... That means that some of the more massive extrasolar planets could actually be brown dwarfs (although the statistics of the finds suggest that most of them are not). ... Another possible difference between brown dwarfs and massive planets is how they are born. ... They would base the fundamental definition on the mode of formation: a planet is built from planetesimals. ...

Next: The Evolutionary Status of Up: No Title Previous: Massive X-ray Binaries . After 25 years of pulsar studies, a radiopulsar has been discovered in a binary system with a massive optical companion (Johnston et al. ... As shown in the very first calculations of joint evolution of NS and normal stars in binaries (Kornilov and Lipunov, 1983b[ 86 ]) a considerable fraction (maybe, the majority) of NS in binary systems having an optical companion must be at the ejector љ (E) state. ... Systems . ...

Astronomers have found a radio pulsar with a companion at least 11 times the mass of the Sun - the most massive pulsar companion known. The identity of the companion is uncertain: it may be a massive late-type (red) star, a massive but compact blue star, or possibly a black hole. ... The probability of this late-type star being there by chance, and not being the pulsar companion, is only about 1.3%," says team member Dr. Fernando Camilo of Columbia University. ... So what can the companion be? ...

... Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh BT61 9DG, +44 (0)28 3752 2928 . Astronomers from nearly a dozen countries will gather in Armagh during the final week of July to study the origin and evolution of magnetism in massive stars. ... An important question for astronomers, however, is whether stars much more massive than our Sun, and perhaps millions of times brighter, have equally strong magnetic fields, and the extent to which such magnetic fields affects the evolution of these massive stars. ...
